Right, here is with develsh:
Code:
 # iwconfig wlan0 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Seems like wl12xx module doesn't have master mode available. Maybe we are missing a necessary firmware blob? From http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/wl12xx :
Code:
Note: There is a different firmware file for station and for access-point modes. Make sure you pick the right one (or both)
There's only /lib/firmware/wl1271-fw.bin and /lib/firmware/wl1271-nvs.bin on n9. Firmware revision is 6.1.1.39.339 .

The firmware for AP mode appears to be in the kernel git repo. I believe the drivers need to be upgraded from default PR1.3 as the AP firmware won't load.

I'm going to try my luck at compiling mac80211, cfg80211, and the latest Ti wireless drivers from the kernel backports project.

1) open hotspot soln {uninstall frickin joikuspot}
2) ap mode {connect android phones to n9 wifi hotspot}

I've been busy getting my house ready for first baby, so not much new. However, I plan on spending Thanksgiving week on a renewed effort.
