AutoAP with RTL8187

I have lots of 8187 based interfaces, I actually got them because they work great with Linux and niche scenarios, like making access points, sniffing packets etc.

I thought it would be definitely supported by AutoAP, since it supports every function needed. But its not on the supported list. Is there any way to make it work? Like adding a missing module or something? The hardware should be absolutely capable.

Did you try manually loading the kernel module with " modprobe rtl8187 " and verifying with " lsmod | grep 8187 "? If it works as expected then you'll probably want to make an entry in /etc/modules to load it at boot time..

can you SSH into your Pi, run

Code: Select all

cat /proc/modules
and show me exactly what the module shows up as?
I'll then be able to add the support in :)
