I want to create WiFi hotspot for android device using Broadcom BCM43142 chipset.
OS : 14.0.4
but I am stuck at a STEP which says your Wireless card should support AP mode!
The current driver: wl0 which I am using does not support AP(access point) mode.
iw list
Result :
Supported interface modes:
* IBSS
* managed
I found many drivers for other broadcom chipset like BCM4312 that support AP mode ex : b43 driver but failed to find for BCM43142.
Is their any driver available for Broadcom BCM43142 that support AP mode?
OR
Is their any other way I can create hotspot for my android device using
Broadcom BCM43142 card (os : Ubuntu 14.0.4)?
Thanks.
