I tried to search for something, but I have not find anything. In that description is something about STA mac address: 01a 6d //STA_ADDR_L Register Address. (STA MAC Address) 01b 54 // 01c 00 //STA_ADDR_L Register 01d 00 // 01e 32 // 01f 28 // 020 00 //STA_ADDR_H Register Data. STA would be abbreviation for station and so it should be really set to mac address of that chip? If yes, that could allow us to set permanent MAC address at time when loading & sending NVS calibration data... Exactly same as wl1271 and new drivers are working. I will try to play with driver if it is really truth! I already looked into original TI's multiplatform HAL driver for wl1251 chip (big mess) and found there that there is wl1251 command to read mac address from chip. It could be done by this wl1251 function: wl1251_cmd_interrogate(wl, DOT11_STATION_ID, mac, sizeof(*mac)) (same id as for setting permanent mac address, but opposite to read it) -- Pali Rohár pali.rohar@xxxxxxxxx
