This project is awesome, I need it to connect my android !, and I will
try follow it. I don't know what is need but we always can get all
packages from 18 and compile in 16.
Now I run hostapd which long time in Fedora
especially for my wife's
Android deviсe which do not allow connect AdHoc without root environment.
About nvidia , if you are talking about property driver , rpmfusion
just
built new drivers , about 6 hours ago.
Thanks,
