The Following USB WiFi devices have been used successfully with HostAPD as A WiFi Access Point using Gumstix Overo:

P54 USB

rt2800usb


The following Device supports hostapd by design, but has not yet been validated on Gumstix Overo

mwifiex This is the driver for the ___ which is the replacement for the W2CBW003 which is now EOL from the manufacturer.


The following device uses a manufacturer provided Access Point Application:

libertas

The libertas W2CBW003 chip does work as an access point, BUT you must obtain the firmware and reference driver from Wi2Wi. It only works up to kernel 2.6.29 without modifying the driver to use the newer net_dev_ops API. (Which has not been done). Wi2Wi requires an NDA to download the driver.

The libertas chip is now end of life from the manufacturer.
