You can run "iw list" to get the capabilities of your card and what "modes" supports. OTOH, it seems that "iwl3945" driver does not allow the card to be set in master mode (AP), as you said: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers Additional documentation on this can be found here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/hostapd Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
