Do you know whether it has support for something like Host AP mode on
Prism2 (i.e., sending and receiving IEEE 802.11 management frames)? Is
technical documentation available for it to develop open source drivers?
If answer to these is "yes, it does support something like Host AP mode
and yes, documentation is available", it could well be worthwhile to add
support for it. If either of this is not the case, it will probably not
be supported in the near (or even distant) future.
