Re: ap modes

I dont know why this flash is left broken, and no updates anymore probably
it is forgotten.
it may work in AP and station mode probably ( I didnt tested)
but certainly it dont work in hostap(bridge) mode. this is because autor
forgot to add and setup wds links
either hostap driver either prism chipset does not support bridging,
while in station mode it do not accept any other mac adreses than it own (
no promisc mode)

You can try my flash which is suposed to be free from these problems and
have trafic shaping ability
compiled with new and exchanged C ( fast) cgi interface that show more
wireless statistic
basicaly it is by default in hostap mode ( default address 192.168.10.50)
you can get it there
