This is exactly what im trying to do.

i have 2 devices that i think is capable of doing so, but unfortunately, unsuccessful so far.

1. raspberry pi with xbian
2. tplink mr3020 with piratebox(customized openwrt)

for raspberry pi, i have 2 wifi dongles that doesnt work.
1. dlink dwa 123 v2
2. tplink wn725n v2 (ap support)

both are listed as working for raspberry pi, but unfortunately only v1. v2 doesnt work for raspberry pi.

thanks.

Do your dongles work in the Pi as Wifi with xbian?
Mine DWA -121 does function as wifi for xbian it is the hotspot / access point part that is the problem.

unfortunately, none of the dongles works with xbian.

says here dwa-121 uses RTL8188CUS (which v1 of wn725n uses and afaik supported by xbian). i take it that you already see that page but still unsuccessfull. right?

thanks.
