Subject: ath6k SDIO in 5GHz AP mode
I am trying to get a ath6kl SDIO adapter to work as a 5GHz AP (and
concurrent client if possible) and running into issues with my Yocto /
FreeScale iMX6 3.10.53 build.
2.4GHz wpa_supplicant client or hostapd does seem to work.
First I tried to add a station as I did with another adapter for
concurrent client and station mode:
iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan1 type station
command failed: Operation not supported (-95)
or with different fw
command failed: Operation not permitted (-1)
So then forget about concurrency I tried just starting a 5GHz AP on wlan0
hostapd.conf file:
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=test
hw_mode=a
channel=149
wpa=1
wpa_passphrase=1234567890
hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf
nl80211: Failed to set interface wlan0 into AP mode
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=4 eloop_data=0x83a70 user_data=0x83ff8
handler=0x28b4d
ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=6 eloop_data=0x858f8 user_data=(nil)

Here is the ath6kl_sdio version from modinfo from my Yocto / Freescale build:

Do I need to patch in a newer driver to my 3.10 build?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
