Yeah plenty of client cards have AP mode firmware, I don't recommend it though unless you want a particularly low end AP (outside of the use case of a fully open firmware AP, in which case fully open firmware older cards are generally the only way).
- megous 3y agoDo you have any specifics for these particular devices? Have you inspected the driver and firmware and found it lacking? Or did you test them and something came up? Internet is full of bad experiences, but mostly from windows laptop users and from 2-3 years ago, around the time the driver was being upstreamed to Linux. It has been solid and growing in features ever since. Throughtput is pretty nice 500mbit/s for a single 80MHz channel setup I'm using and stable. There's no other choice for actively manufacturer supported wifi device usable for AP for Linux anyway. Broadcom drivers are unsupported for years, and firmware heavy with lack of firmware updates from manufacturer. Bad combo. Intel is not for APs. And that's about it.
