Think about it. I can tell you from my experience: This is less of a hassle.

Oh yes. Sorry. I must have dropped the "firmware" while editing.
It should have said: "Well, the latest firmware version I found..."

If you can find/get a firmware version for the device which supports it:
"probably yes". You can check if a firmware supports the mode by loading
iwlwifi/iwldvm driver and use the iw tool [0].
# iw list
This will produce a list of all capabilities of each (available) wifi
device in the system. Among the print out there's an entry called
"Supported interface modes". It should look something like this:
Supported interface modes:
* managed
* AP <---
* AP/VLAN <---
* ...
(This is from a IWL 7260).
Good luck while scanning through intel's firmware repository
(sorry, can't help you there).
Regards,
Christian
