Hi Kalle,
I cloned your ath10k-firmware from your github. Would you please advise
what are the differences of hw2.1/firmware-5 and hw3.0/firmware-4 for
qca6174? Does hw3.0/firmware-4 support Monitor Mode?
I have a wlan card with BMI version (QCA6174_HW_2_1_VERSION 0x05010000)
and Monitor Mode works no problem with latest kernel v4.8-rc2.
I have another wlan card with (QCA6174_HW_3_2_VERSION 0x05030000). I am
trying to back-port ath10k from v4.8-rc2 to 3.10.73 for this HW_3_2
QCA6174 wlan card. Virtual interface (mon0) can be added and brought-up,
but tcpdump can not capture any packets. I am wondering if it could be
related to (hw2.1/firmware-5 vs hw3.0/firmware-4)?
I can not try v4.8-rc2 for this HW_3_2 wlan card, because it is used in
an android phone.
Thanks a lot for your help.
