Hi Tom,
There is very little details about how to implement hostap mode on
wpi. IBSS mode is possible but I don't believe hostap mode will be due
to a lack of specs/firmware support.
Looking at the Intel 4965 chipset aka iwn. Hostap support may be
possible with this chipset though it' certainly not implemented at the
moment.
Cheers,
Benjamin
