The statement that the rtl8187 CANNOT be set as an AP is utterly wrong. Alfa
networks provides a Windows utility that allows one to setup an AP, I've
used it and it works(as well as anything on windows). It seems that this is
a crime against technology that windows can provide a functionality that
Linux cannot or may never.
