I decided to use a few raspberry pi's with atheros-based usb wifi dongles which worked great in my little test environment but crashed in the real conference setup. I took a look at the logfiles and it seems that the issue is related to the number of clients that can be handled by the driver/firmware, which is 8 (ATH9K_HTC_MAX_STA). Is there any chance to increase this limit to make the dongles usable in large-scale applications? David
