Hi.

Is there any news about = adding Access Point mode support in the iwlwif driver for the Intel AX210 = card?

Best regards,
MP.

The 11a mode for a card with the = Intel AX210 chipset also does not work when enabled with standard = methods:

root@name:~ # ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev = iwlwifi0 wlanmode hostap mode 11a
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2 (wlan0): Operation = not supported.

I am building a router that works and also = provides other services. Finally i'm going to replace my ISP-provided = router with my own hardware. To achieve full functionality, support for = Multicast is required for IPTV on a bridge with both Ethernet and Wi-Fi = cards. This can also be done with an external router, such as the TP-LINK = Archer AX23 with OpenWRT. However, this setup introduces double NAT = translation, and the TP-LINK device struggles down during Multicast = handling for IPTV. It often stops working properly, and other services= no longer function. Additionally, it is impossible to connect to the = Archer AX23's 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks with any devices other than the TV. = For these reasons, I opted for the Intel AX210, but unfortunately, HOSTAP = does not work on this card.

Best Redgards

The iwlwifi supports hostap only for 11a and with that is a bit =
special.

I currently have no plans to add HOSTAP support to LinuxKPI for =
iwlwifi;
more likely it'll come with some other drivers in the future which=
 make
a lot more sense to run as AP.
