(The same goes for upgt.) In 7.2-RELEASE (and 7-STABLE), the only usb wlan drivers are ural, rum, and zyd, but zyd does not do Host AP for what I know (and it was never stable for me). ural and rum both do Host AP. Maybe this is interesting for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Open_Source_Wireless_Drivers Anyhow, why does it have to be usb? From my own experience, usb devices do not work as well as Cardbus or (Mini)PCI. You will probably be much more happy, if you get an ath based MiniPCI card. Cheers, Jan Henrik
