AP Mode Supported?

[jextrevor]

In its current state, does this driver support AP (Access Point) mode? That is, when using this driver, can one set up a wireless access point?

If not, what work is required to implement this functionality?

[al177]

Yes, it works in AP mode. Install this driver, then follow any of the guides for getting a Raspberry Pi with USB WiFi or Pi 3 WiFi set up as an AP.

Much thanks.

@jextrevor Do you successfully setup AP mode? Can you give me some direction or learning materials?

[jextrevor]

Unfortunately I haven't set it up because I don't have a physical copy of the hardware.

I hava spent much time on this problem, some guys in China say it's very easy but I need to pay money...It seems only money can solve it.

That's not how this works. You should be able to follow some hostapd-based tutorial on the Internet - google for "raspberry pi hostapd". Any problems you encounter on the way probably won't be hardware-specific and will be solvable (which is to say - don't bug this repo about your hostapd problems unless you're sure the problem is because of this driver). You don't need to pay money for this - not that anybody can stop you, but it wouldn't be a wise investment.

Sorry, Your "big google" has been shield by our government...It's time to use VPN, thx.

Ah, that's understandable. Happy to hear that at least VPN works for you! If not, I'm sure your local search engine can provide some tutorials if you look up "hostapd" specifically.
