Recently i just realized that the ath9k firmware limited the maximum number of stations that can connect to it in ap mode due to the project im working on now with this ath9k dongle... Im wondering if there is some solution that can crack the limitation?and any good reason for this limitation? I will really appreciate your help :)

Hi! I'm facing some problems when I try to connect many devices (more than 7). Is there any workaround or something to increment the maximum number of connected stations? I don't need 300 clients as the guy in the mail list but maybe 50 would be really nice. Any news in this topic? Thanks!!

You will need some how extend memory of this chip :) Or use some thing with enough RAM. For example Atheros ar9331 based device. In this case you will get what you need.
