Hi,

Try the following steps to set your card into Master mode:
The interface is ath0

·         *sudo service network-manager stop                  *

**
*

·         sudo wlanconfig ath0 destroy

·         sudo wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap

·         sudo iwconfig ath0 essid test                             # Set
the network's essid

·         sudo iwconfig ath0 channel 1                             #Set the
channel

·         sudo ifconfig ath0 up

*


Hope this helps,
Regards
