Here's a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx devices. A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and that's why we had to implement a new driver. We received very little comments in the first review round. This is the second, and hopefully the final, version of the driver for review. I'll first send the driver in smaller patches, one file per patch, to make it easier to review. The final version will be one big commit, which I'm planning to submit through ath6kl.git together with ath6kl patches. And no need to panic, I will rename the git tree to something better in the future :) The firmware is temporarily available here: https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware This is the commit log I'll use with the big commit: --------------------------------------------------------------------- ath10k: mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac CQA98xx devices Here's a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx devices.
