Would you recommand the "USB wifi" product that can support hostapd(AP mode)

Dear sir.

ENV.

Code:

OS : ubuntu 14.04 or embedded system(kernel 2.6.32 or 2.6.39 or 3.1)

device : IP-Time N150UA wifi module

I was buyed the usb wifi module N150UA(IP time).

I'm try to compile device driver and install. And install hostapd

Code:

$ > insmod mt7601Usta.ko

$ > hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

nl80211 driver initialization failed.

hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface ra0 wasn't started

$ > iwconfig ra0 mode master

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :

      Set failed on device ra0 ; Invalid argument.

I guess, IP Time N150UA is not support AP mode.

Plase recommand to me. USB type wifi module that can support AP mode.(suport for kernel version 2.6.32, 2.6.39, 3.1)

Thank you.

If noone else replies i would recomend that you buy Alfa AWUS036H. I know it works in monitor mode aand with reaver, probably even with hostapd would provide great signal.

4 ways to get wifi working on linux

Have a look at this: http://piratebox.cc/raspberry_pi:pir..._compatibility. I have had a lot of problems getting hostapd working on a raspberry pi for a mobile minidlna server. Get something with an Atheros chipset. This would be my recommendation: TP_Link TL-WN722N.

Thank's everyboy.

I'm choice some model that use rtl8192 chipset.

Thank you.
