Subject: [iw, ath5k] setting of antennas
Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2011 19:18:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DA87DFA.1020908@googlemail.com> (raw)

Hello!

Thanks to Bruno Randolf, John Linville, Johannes Berg and other, it is
possible to set transmission or reception antennas with ath5k. But:

Is it only possible to set the bitmap of used antennas via iw(8) like this:

phy <phyname> set antenna <bitmap> | all | <tx bitmap> <rx bitmap>

Or is there a way to this with an IOCTL or similar in an own program?

I do also know of the (deprecated) way to this via debugfs, but I'd
really like to do it on my own in a C-program as part of other things to
be done. I wouldn't like this operation to be performed with a
system(3)-call of iw(8).

Any hints? I could not find documentation about this topic...

Best regards,
Dennis
