Yes, and I will pull that stuff into my tree as it becomes stable and/or as I
have time.
It seems I have little chance to ever get my ath10k patches in the upsteam
kernel, so this is the
best I can think of for now.
It might be best to entirely decouple my ath10k from ath9k so folks can use
stock (LEDE) ath9k
but my ath10k. Maybe I simply had some typo in my first attempt at this.
I figure Felix will know better how to make this all work, so this patch should
probably
wait for him to comment on and/or fix.
One more thing that I didn't really see in the patch (but I may have skimmed
over it)
What is the difference/improvement between the stock driver and the
Candela-Tech driver? (i.e. as someone configuring LEDE, why would I pick your
driver?)
David Lang
The main reason is that it better supports CT ath10k firmware:
http://www.candelatech.com/ath10k-10.1.php
http://www.candelatech.com/ath10k-10.4.php
See the features list down this page a bit. It is at least mostly up to date.
If you are not using my firmware, then I am not sure my driver will give
you much benefit over stock.
Firmware (10.1) release notes here:
http://www.candelatech.com/downloads/ath10k-fw-beta/release_notes.txt
One of the nice features for me is that I can get much better 'core' dumps out
of
my firmware when using this driver, so I expect I can debug firmware crashes
more thoroughly.
For folks on this list, the IBSS support and capturing more frames in monitor
mode might be a key benefit.
Thanks,
Ben
