Version 2: This version has a Atheros chip (driver ath9k_htc) installed and works fine as an access point with hostapd.
Version 3: Has a Realtek chip (driver rtl8192cu) installed and will also function as an access point. For me it has not been working.
Since both devices without difficulty do as WLAN client service I forgive her 5 stars. Simply plug in and get started. Anyone wishing to use the Access Point mode, probably has to get lucky and have an old version grab 2 model.
