hw2.1.1 is supported and I'm using that for testing. The driver also
supports hw2.0 but I haven't tested that so there might be some issues.
hw1.0 is not supported.

Not yet, but hopefully in the near future.

Like Julian said, you need to use hostapd.

I have a patch pending to add suspend support and will send it as soon
as I find some free time. But the wifi connection will be lost in resume
anyway. If you want to maintain the connection to AP during suspend then
you are looking for wowlan support which ath6kl doesn't currently support.
