Sure, there are vendor specific extensions to be able to use some (mainly, 256-QAM) parts of it. hostapd has support for using a vendor extension for negotiating use of 256-QAM (vht_vendor=1) which works with ath10k. wpa_supplicant has no code for such negotiation and based on where we normally negotiate VHT on 5 GHz, this does not belong in wpa_supplicant anyway. In other words, there would need to be some driver (or well, mac80211 in this specific case) changes to add support for the vendor specific negotiation. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
