Hey,
I am currently using BCM43142 chip on my laptop. I am in
need of a driver that supports ap-mode with this chipset. Is there any
driver that supports ap-mode with it? If not, when can I expect the
driver to be released?

The PCI-ID is 14e4:4365.

Regards,

That chip is not supported by any open-source driver. Your options would be to
modify b43 for that chip (not recommended), or get Broadcom to release their
version of wl that does support AP mode. Yes, they have one, but they only
release the STA version.
