Hi John,

Thanks for the updates!


mac80211:


I've tested mac80211 on a large number of targets in the field:

- ~25 devices
- half of them having up to 4 wlan ifaces
- all running in IBSS
- Distance varying from 20m up to ~50km

For my cases, it seems to work well.


Small nit-pick:
In the bootlog, I'm seeing this:

[   11.330000] Loading modules backported from Linux version 
v4.18-rc7-0-gacb1872577b3
[   11.330000] Backport generated by backports.git v4.14-rc2-1-71-g39f4ec76


Is the 2nd line correct?



ar71xx:

I'm now currently testing your ar71xx 4.14 bump (comitted today in 
master) on a few different targets:

- Gl-mifi
- Rocket-m5
- RB912
- RB2011
...

Will let you know the results.


Koen
