Имеется USB девайс TL-WN727N. Хочется завести его как AP в Debian (2.6.32-trunk-686).
Ставлю hostapd c оффсайта (пробоверял с 0.6.9 и 0.7.1), libnl-dev и libnl1 из репозитория. hostapd.conf такой
interface=ra0
driver=nl80211
logger_syslog=1
logger_syslog_level=2
logger_stdout=1
logger_stdout_level=2
debug=1
dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ssid=MySsidName
hw_mode=g
channel=1
beacon_int=100
dtim_period=2
max_num_sta=255
rts_threshold=2347
fragm_threshold=2346
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=MyPass
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP
Затем качаю RT2870USB(RT2870/RT2770) с http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2/support.php?s=2. Компиляю по мануалу, заменив в os/linux/cfg80211.c
