linux利用无线网卡做热点

这是一篇失败的文档，只留作记录，无太大参考价值。

操作系统：opensuse12.1 i586
内核：3.1.0-1.2-desktop
硬件： thinkpad x201i
网卡：Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200
软件：hostapd-0.7.3

参考：http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/hostapd
过程：

1 创建了最简单的一个配置文件 /tmp/hostapd.min.conf：
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=test
channel=1

2 启动hostapd，hostapd -dd /tmp/hostapd.min.conf，报错：
nl80211: Register Action command failed: ret=-114 (Operation already in progress)
nl80211: Register Action match - hexdump(len=1): 06
nl80211: Failed to register Action frame processing - ignore for now
nl80211: Add own interface ifindex 3
nl80211: Failed to set interface 3 to mode 3: -95 (Operation not supported)
nl80211: Failed to set interface 3 to mode 3: -95 (Operation not supported)
nl80211: Interface mode change to 3 from 0 failed
nl80211: Failed to set interface wlan0 into AP mode
nl80211 driver initialization failed.

经 google 有人解答是linux驱动不支持AP，不清楚该如何验证这种说法。（理论依据？）基本死翘翘了，不再折腾了。
