HostAP is a IEEE 802.11 device driver for Linux. It works with cards using the obsolete Conexant (formerly Intersil) Prism 2/2.5/3 chipset and supports Host AP mode, which allows a WLAN card to perform all the functions of a wireless access point.

The driver code was written by Jouni Malinen, hired by Atheros in 2008,^[1] and was included into the main kernel tree in Linux 2.6.14.

As of November 2016, HostAP is officially obsolete in the Linux kernel.^[2]
