Can the ath10k driver support more than one MAC address?

Can the ath10k driver support more than one MAC address?

[Gordon, Charles]

Hi,

We are trying to use the ath10k driver in an embedded application.  We want to support a wifi client with multiple access points.  Does the ath10k driver support this?  Can the ath10k hardware and driver support multiple simultaneous MAC addresses?  Can it support multiple APs?

Thanks for any information.

Charles

Depends on HW you have, some ath10k support single/multi channel concurrency.
You can check this using
iw phyX info - and next check valid combinations (channels <= 1 mean
SCC, so best if you have <= 2)

hiya,

This is the kind of thing that Ben Greear has spent a lot of time
debugging in his firmware branch.

Yeah, seems to work fine for me with CT firmware.

It can probably work OK with stock FW too.

Thanks,
Ben
