Description

Realtek rtl871xdrv-based wireless adapters can be used in access-point setups that need hostapd compatibility.

It is useful for administrators working with older or vendor-specific Realtek Wi-Fi drivers. Driver-specific access-point builds can be fragile, so hardware support, encryption mode, stability, and firewall rules should be tested before relying on them.

How to run

hostapd.service
