I'm trying to modernize, and I'd like to support 802.11be. I looked through drivers/net/wireless/ath/ in 6.18.y, and it seems that this capability (referred to as 'full' monitor support in ath11k I think?) is not supported in ath12k (based on the if statement at the top of ath12k_mac_op_tx which checks for WMI_VDEV_TYPE_MONITOR and bails out), please correct me if I'm wrong. I also tested with WCN7850/hw2.0 and was unable to transmit. My question is, is this a hardware limitation of the WCN7850, or is it just something that ath12k doesn't support? If so, are there any plans to support this? Thank you in advance for any info you can offer, Sincerely, Michael E. Tuma
