I agree. More people would be looking into AP support for individual
drivers if mac80211 didn't need a patch.
Alone the requirement for hostapd would indicate that the AP mode is no=
t
ready for general consumption. Going further can actually discourage
some potential contributors.
I suspect somebody in the ath5k camp would look at the AP mode if
mac80211 wasn't forbidding it unconditionally.
