Hi Chun-Yeow,

We tried re-building with a limit of 16 without success.  The problem is the 
adapter doesn't have enough ram.  

Ironically, adapters that rely on the host processor for the Mac are better 
suited for 11s.

Yesterday, we switched to authsae vs wpa_supplicant and were able to get the 
rt2800usb driver to use security.  To make it work, the device had to be 
configured as a mesh point with iw before authsae loaded.
