Good morning In90s,

I am hesitant to work on issues with distros that use kernels that are no longer supported. There are many reasons. For me to fix the issue, I would have to download and install the distro you are using. My to-do list is fairly long so a major project like this would not happen very soon. However, even if I were to do this, you might not like the results. You would end up using a version of software, such as hostapd, that is old and probably does not support this more modern driver, not to mention most guides and help you can get might not apply to what you are doing with that very old distro. Setting up an AP with this adapter is something that needs to be done with a modern, supported kernel.

If you will give me some details and about your computer hardware and your goals for the AP, I can suggest a Linux distro that should work well. I even have some guides that may help you.

Regards,

Nick
