a) It won't work without the following as Gregory pointed out diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c index e09ed2c..69aad6e 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c @@ -488,6 +488,7 @@ ath5k_pci_probe(struct pci_dev *pdev,
hw->wiphy->interface_modes = BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION) | + BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_AP) | BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC) | BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT);
b) For some reason it only works with 5212/5213 cards, i tested it on a 5413 and an 2425 and it didn't work (hostapd seems to hang).
