RE: AR6003 concurrent AP+STA

Hi Attila,

Thanks for poking me - I meant to message the mailing list earlier.

It turns out that in order to get concurrent mode, the fw-4 firmware is needed. The latest firmware available in the linux-firmware repo is fw-3. Some additional patches to the driver were also needed to get everything working.

My plan is to get the patches we created submitted to upstream. I am also checking within our company to see if I can make the patches available now through our GitHub account. I'll message the mailing list when that's available.

Thanks!
Nick
