So I guess my dreams of Access Point are over now :s By any chance, could you recommend a small form factor USB WiFi dongle that works for that purpose?
As far as I know the rt2870 driver provided by Ralink contains support
for Master mode, and it should even cooperate with hostapd. Not sure
if anybody has tested that yet. But you could give it a try. Otherwise
you can check rt2x00.git to see if the rt2800usb driver can send out
beacons correctly. So far I have only tested managed mode and that
worked reasonable (if you ignore the lack of 11n AP scan results, and
some startup kickups). Note that you should use the module parameter
nohwcrypt for rt2800usb to disable HW crypto.
