New version of CT firmware is available.

New version of CT firmware is available.

[Ben Greear]

Just a quick note:  Our firmware should now work on standard kernels with
no kernel modifications.  Just drop the firmware into the appropriate directory
(and re-named firmware-2.bin), and reboot.

I did a quick test on Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.13.0-24-generic:  Associated
a station on an AP on channel 36 and obtained DHCP.  Used open authentication.

If you can crash this firmware or see any other bugs that could be firmware related,
please send me the kernel firmware crash dump and/or bug report.

Please do not bother QCA about issues with my firmware image.

I am interested to know results if anyone tries this.

You can ignore most of this page linked below if not dealing with
multiple station vifs, but it has a link to the firmware image, etc:

Thanks,
Ben

And, as previously promised, there is now a 'community'
version that may be used commercially or otherwise, under
the same restrictions as that of the official QCA firmware.

The only difference is that the community version will not
allow multiple station vifs to connect to the same AP when
using encryption because it does not allow software-rx-crypt.
Multiple stations to same AP with open authentication works fine
if you are using our kernel patches or some proper subset thereof.

For normal use (single station, or single AP), both images should
act similar and should work on standard un-patched kernels.

See link above for more info...just see notes in bold at top, and
list item #3 for normal-use scenarios.

Thanks,
Ben

RE : New version of CT firmware is available.

Hi, I just test your firmware (version non commercial). The firmware ver 10.1.467 crashed when I enter promiscuous mode to activate network birdge for my station but I can install network bridge with your firmware now. But is it normal if in my AP, I have another interface when my station connected: 
Interface wlan0.sta1                                                    
                ifindex 10                                                      
                wdev 0x6                                                        
                addr 04:f0:21:0e:38:be                                          
                type AP/VLAN                                                    
                channel 36 (5180 MHz), width: 40 MHz, center1: 5190 MHz
(I only have wlan0 and mon.wlan0 with other version of firmware, not yours). The mon.wlan0 may be because that I'm still have old/wrong modules compilation (as Janusz said, I'm still trying to fix it). And when I test the rate with iperf, I get this in debug mess:

<7>ath10k: htc rx completion ep 1 skb d2c57200

br0: received packet on wlan0.sta1 with own address as source address           
br0: received packet on wlan0.sta1 with own address as source address

Here is my network config: (I used 2PC with iperf, 1 connect to my AP and other to my STA)
PC1 (connect to AP) with IP: 192.93.121.71, gate way: 192.93.121.62
AP with IP 192.93.121.63
STA with IP 192.93.121.62
PC2 (connect to STA) with IP 192.93.121.70, gate way: 192.93.121.63
And my rate (from iperf) is around 120Mbps though the info from the command station dump and in the file "fw_stats" from debugfs show me MCS23 with 405Mbps
