Are you planning to have the wifi act as an access point? Very few USB wlan devices support hostap mode; and those that do, don't support it very well. I've used a ural(4) stick in hostap before; any client that supports client power save, and that you can't disable power save on, will fall lose link as soon as it tries to enable power save. I don't know of any other wifi sticks that support hostap. Cheers TomReceived on Thu Oct 11 2012 - 13:40:13 UTC
