That's been discussed already, latest post by stsp@ I could find: http://marc.info/?m=147283005112217 Short answer: No. sthen@ usually recommends to use a cheap standalone access point. Marcus
Recommendation for Host AP USB wifi interface
Howdy. >From the FAQ (https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Wireless), there's a listing of interfaces that support Host AP mode. Going through each interface, there seems to be a lot of caveats such as USB devices not supporting Host AP mode (e.g. athn(4)...https://man.openbsd.org/athn). Is there a recommended USB wifi device that can perform in Host AP mode with decent performance? +--+ Carlos
