[PATCH 5/8] ath11k: disable monitor mode on QCA6390

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



QCA6390 does not support monitor mode at the moment so disable it altogether,
using a hack as mac80211 does not support disabling it otherwise. Add a boolean
to hw_params to know if hardware supports monitor mode.

IPQ8074 continues to support monitor mode normally.

Tested-on: QCA6390 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HST.1.0.1-01740-QCAHSTSWPLZ_V2_TO_X86-1
