Thanks for this straightforward answer. In this case it makes sense to change the point AP/Master mode on the driver description page http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/rtl8187 from “not working yet” to “not supported”. > That chip only has a single hardware transmit queue and the work of > getting the high-priority traffic, such as beacons, transmitted at the correct > time would be much more than it would be worth. I wasn't aware of that when I bought the device. It might be off-topic here, but what chip (or device) would you recommend instead, for use in an AP? It has to be connected via USB, support master mode and, only if possible, run without the need of proprietary firmware. Thanks for taking the time to deal with my issue.
