I'm a step closer in 2.6.28 after applying this patch: --- wireless-testing.orig/net/mac80211/cfg.c 2008-10-28 10:32:35.000000000 +0200 +++ wireless-testing/net/mac80211/cfg.c 2008-10-28 10:32:40.000000000 +0200 @@ -26,6 +26,8 @@ #ifdef CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH case NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT: #endif + case NL80211_IFTYPE_AP: + case NL80211_IFTYPE_AP_VLAN: case NL80211_IFTYPE_WDS: return true; default: The interface will go into master mode now but it errors when trying to set the channel.
