[ath9k-devel] Max. 7 stations per AP with ath9k?

[Till Wollenberg]

Hi,

I just came across the ath9k website and read that ath9k in AP mode supports 
only "up to 7 stations due to a firmware limitation" (see "Modes of operation" 
at http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k ).

Does this really apply to ath9k (i.e. PCIe devices) or just to USB devices 
(ath9k_htc)?

I think the note on the website is related to the discussion of Andrew Connell, 
Adrian Chadd, and Gergely Kiss from April 2013 and April 2014:

hm... it is ath9k_htc limitation. Not ath9k.
