In linux-firmware repository [1] is missing AP firmware for TI wl1251 chip. There is only STA firmware wl1251-fw.bin which supports managed and ad-hoc modes. For other TI wilink chips there are <CHIP>-ap.bin firmware files (wl1271-fw-ap.bin and wl128x-fw-ap.bin) which support AP mode. But for wl1251 firmware file with guessed name "wl1251-fw-ap.bin" is missing. Do you have any idea what happened with AP firmware for ti wilink4 wl1251 wifi chip? Or where can be found? Guys from TI, can you help? I see that STA firmware was added into linux-firmware tree in year 2013 by this pull request [2].

Guys from TI, can you help? It's a long time ago but IIRC wl1251 has not ever supported AP mode and wl1271 was the first one to support it.

But I might be wrong of course. Support for AP mode in current kernel driver wl1251.ko is missing, but I could try to write it if there will be firmware for it.

I read on some TI whitepaper, that wl1251 hardware supports some Soft-AP mode. So I expect that either special FW is needed for it or somehow it is possible to use current released.

More than that, wl1251 family is not officially supported via the mainline Linux. For Soft-AP, and other new features based on Linux you should use WiLink8 chip family.

Too late for that, we already have the devices, and they were manufactured quite long time ago. Is it "hardware can't do AP", "firmware can't do AP" or "current drivers do not support AP"?

We know that current linux TI wl1251.ko driver does not support AP. And I'm still do not know if "hardware can do AP" or not. Also I'm not sure... maybe current firmware can be "forced" for implementing AP mode. David Gnedt implemented packet injection for wl1251.ko via JOIN firmware command. And he wrote me that aircrack utils contains one application which implementing full AP station in userspace just via packet injection radiotap (which is supported by wl1251). So maybe using other firmware (filter) commands together with current packet injection implementation could be possible to create AP mode (usable for standard hostapd daemon)? Just thinking... Anyway, other TI wilink devices have different firmware for AP mode... -- Pali Rohár pali.rohar@gmail.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread
