iw list results

Supported interface modes:
     * managed
     * monitor

AP mode is supported fine in windows and hotspot works fine. Ralink usb adapter in use.

ethtool -i wlan0 | grep driver outputs MT7601

Does this driver support AP mode?.. Will changing the driver support AP mode?

This page http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads1/downloads/ list the drivers for my card. How do I install this? It seems Ubuntu already comes with the MT7601 driver shown in that page. If i install another driver, will it work? Is there a way to change the firmware from the terminal to rollback the driver to get a supported one? How do I know which all drivers supports my adapter?

The in-tree mt7601 kernel driver does not support AP mode yet.

But the vendor driver does support this mode. The problem is that Mediatek does not maintain the driver well enough. It does not build for new kernels.

But some people patch these drivers. If you search the web, you will find some github repos with the source.

See this question for more information.
