Jesse, List,

I'm SO sorry. That response was supposed to be to a friend's email about getting together tomorrow. I must have replied to the wrong email :-(


This is really embarrassing. I hope someone here can help you.

Nick

Well that gives me hope.

What driver and few version you using?

What's your iw list output look like?

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!
