They are just different firmware interface versions to maintain backwards compatibility: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k/firmware#firmware_api_versions The actual firmware versions are strings like 'WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00288-QCARMSWPZ-1'. https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/4.4.1 > Is there a release note?

Is there any feature that uses only api 6? If I want to downgrade to api 4, is there anything that I should pay attention to?

The interface number itself does not change any functionality, what matters are the actual firmware release versions. And of course older firmware releases have more bugs and less features. It would be easier for people to help if you describe what's the actual problem you are trying to solve. -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches _______________________________________________ ath10k mailing list ath10k@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath10k ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
