However, I am unable to configure the 8192cu as an Access Point for my other devices to access the internet. In particular, I am unsuccessful in setting the 8192cu mode to either ap or to master (see questions (3) and (4) below respectively).\r\n\r\nUbuntu 14.04\r\nID 0b05:17ba ASUSTek Computer, Inc. (Asus USB-N10 Nano Wireless-N USB Adapter)\r\n\r\n(1) Does your module support my hardware / Is my device ID on the supported list?\r\n\r\n(2) lsmod | grep 8192cu gives:\r\n8192cu                527333  0\r\nIs this a problem too?\r\n\r\n(3) To check whether AP mode is supported, I tried iw list and iw dev but the interface / device does not show up, and therefore I am unable to confirm that the 8192cu supports AP mode.\r\nIs the 8192cu fix under the mac80211 framework?\r\nIf so, then wouldn't iw list not showing the 8192cu be a problem?\r\n\r\n(4) To change mode to master, I tried sudo iwconfig wlan1 mode master .\r\nsudo iwconfig confirms that the mode has been changed to master , but the moment I use Network Manager to connect, the mode reverts back to managed .\r\n\r\n(5) I tried the instructions in the following URL (particularly the last step of Step 2) to configure the 8192cu as an Access Point, but to no avail - \r\nhttp://askubuntu.com/questions/180733/how-to-setup-an-access-point-mode-wi-fi-hotspot\r\n\r\n(6) Do I have to use hostapd or would the instructions in the URL above (which is a simple hack) work for the 8192cu to be configured as an Access Point?\r\n\r\nAppreciate your assistance. Thank you."}}
