Hi,
I recently added support to ath10k, for the QCA6174, to receive
multicast action frames in order to support DPP. I'm trying to do this
for the ath11k QCNFA765/WCN6855. I took the same approach as ath10k
which was actually quite simple but I'm unable to see any multicast
frames coming over even when I enable RX/DATA debugging.
What I've done so far is:
- Add FIF_MCAST_ACTION to the supported filters list
- Created/started a monitor vdev from within
ath11k_mac_op_configure_filter()
ath11k_mac_monitor_vdev_create(ar);
ath11k_mac_monitor_start(ar);
- Also tried adding
ath11k_mac_config_mon_status_default(ar, true);
I can successfully create/start the monitor vdev. I see now as I'm
writing this email that my specific hardware does not support monitor
mode outright... Is this a dead end or is there hope with purely driver
changes? or is it some filtering at the firmware level preventing this?
Thanks,
James
