I would very much appreciate your advice. I haven’t tried it in AP mode, but I’m otherwise very happy with the TP-Link TL-WN881ND PCIe card (168c:002d, AR9227, about 14 Euros). TP-Link seems to use Atheros chips predominantly, so it’s always a good bet. Stefan -- Stefan Bethke <stb@lassitu.de> Fon +49 151 14070811
