Hostapd and the USB devices have been working without issue. (Apart from the usual WiFi problems.) My only complaint is that I am not sure if 802.11N is working. I am using two ALFA AWUS050NH. (Ralink RT2770) One is on 2.4GHz, the other on 5GHz. I had a similar setup with a low powered ARM based Guruplug. The USB adapters worked fine but I needed a powered hub. If you have problems with the Soekris add a powered USB hub before you go too crazy trying to get it to work. -- sg
