<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div style>This has probably been asked many times, I apologise if so -- but I've looked a lot and I can't find a definitive answer as to which USB card is the best to use with hostapd.</div><div style>
Specifically, which one that works and supports more than 7 simultaneous devices. I have three cards, one is rtl8187 which doesn't work at all, and the others are ath_9k which work perfectly, minus the fact that you can't have more than 7 simultaneous connections, which is firmware related.</div>
<div style>I want to go and buy another one but I first want to ensure that it'll work well with my old laptop, which has builtin wireless which doesn't work either (iwl3945).</div><div style>It has to be USB because of the fact that it's a laptop, unless there's some way to replace the builtin wireless card?</div>
<div style>Thanks for any help anyone can give me.</div><div style>Andrew</div></div>
