Hello. OpenWrt 23.05.5 x86 Wi-Fi Intel 9560. No driver is suitable! Which Wi-Fi driver should I use?
A simple Google search is telling kmod-iwlwifi can be used, but you cannot use it as AP.
which wi-fi can be used for AP?
Mediatek or QCA, in that order - details depend on the exact chipset and card (model). Capabilities vary between client-oriented an AP-oriented cards, as does power consumption and heat dissipation.
From an economic point of view, as well as performance, ease of use and reliability, you're almost always better served to externalise your wireless problem into a purpose built wifi AP running OpenWrt (e.g. filogic 830/ 820, mt7621a+mt7915DBDC or ipq807x/ ipq60xx). Even a cheap plastic router will run circles around a diy approach (unless you're going all in, into the 3-figure range).
