thank you, this was exactly stuff i was looking for, external linksys or other is already here, but i want to do one device this stuff. unfortunatly the device has no mini-pci slot, i'd love to build it like this as i see very good atheros support in fbsd. however, if the other drivers also support hostap mode this would be a way to go.current-8 is of course not applicable for this job as i want a stable system ;-) thank you guys very much for your help, marco Jan Henrik Sylvester wrote: > Marco wrote: >> iam thinking of building a router with usb wlan and usb ethernet >> controller attached. as the wlan device shall be an AP i would go for >> atheros stick. however, i'am unsure if anybody has expirience if or >> which devices should work out of the box with latest stable release. >> i read something about a "uath" device module but could not find it >> in my sys-tree. > > uath is only available in 8-CURRENT and I am not sure, if it does Host > AP mode.
