Hello guys,I'm searching for some by ath9k fully supported chipset/card for use in AP mode, both for PCI and PCIe.
Currently, I do have two cards with the AR5008 chipset. Formally, it is supported, but I've tried to get it running for three years without any success and have lost the interest. As I'd though like to have wifi and ath9k is a good choice, I'm looking for some replacement.
For those who may be interested: I can set my current cards into AP mode and launch hostapd just fine. Clients can associate, but mostly are disassociated within 5 minutes (or less, if "high" traffic occurs.) That said, at this point, re-association may be possible again, but only for some seconds. Mostly though, the clients can't even re-associate and I have to restart the cards and hostapd in order to be able to associate for another roughly 5 minutes.
I hope that somebody could point me to a better working (or actually, indeed working) chipset. This said, I'm not overly interested in tables containing chipsets/cards as the information there may be formally true, but not so much applicable in real life. (Take my cards for instance, though formally supported, I've been suffering from the same symptoms for over three years now, both with in-kernel drivers, compat-wireless, stable hostapd and hostapd-git.)
I'm looking forward to hear from you. :) Best regards, Mihai
