Hi,
I was wondering if there's any work being done on the AP/Master mode implementation of the rtl8187 chip as listed here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/rtl8187
If not, could anyone give a guesstimate of how much work is needed to write the code for this functionality?

The RTL8187L chip does not implement QoS queuing. It might work in an AP, but it
would certainly fall over with a heavy load. The RTL8187B might work better.
When you add the fact that the internal workings of these chips are unpublished
and unknown to us, implementing either AP or Master mode would likely be difficult.
It is impossible to guesstimate the time required. All that I can tell you is
that adapting this driver to work with either of these two modes is very low on
my priority list.
