CT firmware 10.1.467-13 is released.

CT firmware 10.1.467-13 is released.

[Ben Greear]

Here are the highlights:

Add IBSS/AHDOC support.
Work-around tx-credits hang due to WMI/CE lockup in firmware (requires ath10k driver patches)
Attempt to fix a few asserts reported by users (scan code, rate-ctrl, resource-mgr, etc)

Known bugs:
CE transport failure assert (Only seen on IMX6 hardware at this time)
WMI keepalive failure, probably due to inability to send mgt frames in bad RF environment.


Downloads and more info is here:

As always, I am interested to hear of users having success or otherwise with
this firmware.

Thanks,
Ben

Awesome. Does this require the candela kernel patchset?

(am thinking of trying this version of the firmware on openwrt chaos
calmer on the tp-link archer C7 v2)

I think upstream has support, but if you want any decent throughput (HT, VHT)
you have to be running bleeding edge kernels and hostapd
(not sure all patches are even upstream yet..see appropriate mailing
lists).

I have backported a few patches into my kernel, but I'm not sure
how correct or complete they are.

I plan to try a little harder to get HT/VHT working in my 3.19 kernel
sometime soon.  My 3.19 kernel patchset is also much cleaner than my
3.17 tree, so if you want to try to cherry-pick patches, that is the
one to use.  (It also has a lot less testing, so maybe there are issues
yet.)

That would be welcome.  If you see any firmware splats, please send logs
my way and I should be able to decode them.

Thanks,
Ben
