I did not say that the RTL8187{B,L} cannot be used as an AP! I said that rtl8187
cannot. The capitalization is important. With caps, it refers to a device;
without implies a driver.
I am not sure how well an RTL8187L would work as it only has a single transmit
queue, but perhaps it would work.
If you think there is a "crime against technology", then you need to be the one
to make the necessary changes to rtl8187. After all, the source is open.
