H Avinash,

I was incorrect in my last message, the sd8787 AP had not started 
working when I installed the AR9287. So, here is my config;

interface=uap0
bridge=br0
driver=nl80211
ssid=TEST
hw_mode=g
channel=1
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=3
wpa_passphrase=????????????????
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=0
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=0
country_code=GB

dmesg;

As mentioned, the AP does not exist though hostapd appears to run.

The exact same configuration works with the AR9287 card.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Mike.
