The stick works well in 802.11g master mode but frequently hangs up in 802.11n master mode. Now I read here http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170 that a "real" 802.11 AP is not supported by the hardware. What exactly means "real" and has this something to do with the frequently crashes in 802.11n master mode? I will post more specific information (hardware, driver version, logs, etc..) later. But if you can tell me already, this behaviour is expected because of hardware incompatibility, there is no need for this. Kind regards, Thomas
