You'll need to get this information from Marvell and probably sign an
NDA for access to the firmware specifications and the chip databook.

This doesn't matter to the chip, it's mostly a function of how congested
the channel gets when lots of stations are in the same area.  Any
chipset will have problems if the RF is too congested, you'll see
dropped frames and lots of retries and stuff will just be slow.

If you have the the "softap" firmware, then yes, you can do this.
