Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: I have uploaded the latest CT version of the ath10k firmware. http://www.candelatech.com/ath10k.php This firmware fixes bugs in raw-tx mode, though probably only non-encrypted frames can be sent in this manner, and it requires an out-of-tree patch from Michal Kazior to make it work: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.ath10k.devel/246 This firmware also significantly improves association times when using more than one vdev. This, requires an additional kernel patch: http://dmz2.candelatech.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-3.17.dev.y/.git;a=commitdiff;h=a9756b6e2efffbec4101dbe81e9d6a2c503239ff;hp=5bfa637376c352fc17c56afc7b1d2e752750162c And, you may want the near-by patches that allow disabling some logging, especially if using serial console. There is also a small fix to max-nss logic in the firmware rate-control, but I am not sure this is required. It _is_ required that you use currently-out-of-tree patches if you want anything other than 3x3 station connecting to 3x3 AP to work properly with ath10k. As always, I am interested to know how people are using the CT firmware, and I would welcome any help with getting even basic support (such as reserved feature flags) for this firmware in the upstream kernel.
