Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Wifi Managed and Master mode
Thanks Nuno, I'll take note of chipset. Unfortunately in my case I can't chance upgrading to 4.x yet.

[beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Wifi Managed and Master mode
I know there are several threads regarding wifi but many of these are outdated so thought I'd start a new thread, asking if anyone has been successful adding USB WiFi to debian 3.8.13-boneX where they are able to connect to existing access points AND configure the wifi to act as an access point (master mode) using hostapd. If you have been successful with both modes, I'd really appreciate you sharing which USB adapter you used and specifically the chipset. To date I have been using the RT5370 chipset with very reliable communications in both client (managed) and ap (master) mode - my issue is supply of these USB devices and I am looking for backup solutions. If we can collect sufficient info I will update wiki with this info to assist other users.
