As many have said, yes, the AR5008 chipset works in AP mode - but it is older than the AR9280 and has some quirks. Also, a warning, I have found that many vendors who make PCI/PCIe cards have a bad habit of switching around the chipsets without warning customers. Unless a vendor themself markets the product based on the specific chipset, I try not to trust the random chance of whatever hardware revision I might (or might not) find when I buy the product. I am behind the many who have said - why not an adaptor? I use them regularly and the cards screw easily and securely into the adaptor without exceeding the thickness of a normal card, and the adaptor provides nice antenna ports on the back of the card. Many adaptors even bundle antennas, so you don't need to buy anything else. I hope this helps... _______________________________________________ ath9k-devel mailing list ath9k-devel@lists.ath9k.org https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
