Do you have any plan supporting it?
Thanks for your help
Besides, the performance seems not good. I got only 5Mb/s station->station performance. While another driver released from your AE could reach at least 10Mb/s, do you have any idea?

Hi tony,
there is a firmware for these devices in the linux-firmware git [0], but
I do not know if it still works with this driver.
Probably some of the ath6kl developer could help you more than me.

50 MHz can't be right. Please send me output from 'iw wlan0 link' (or
whatever interface you use with ath6kl.

What wifi settings do you use? (11n, encryption, frequency, etc)
Does dmesg show anything suspicious?

50MHz is SDIO interface bus clock, isn't it right?

Hi, Kalle:
Some questions regarding this ath6kl driver.
Does it support all AR6003 card family? As I know there're several types of AR6003 cards
Does it support master mode? I tried the driver, seems it doesn't. need your confirmation.
root@freescale ~$ iwconfig wlan0 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Does it support suspend/resume well? From my experiments, seems not. After resuming, connection is lost.
Thanks

if_sdio.c needs some new power management functions not available in
older kernel functions. When building for older kernel I get these
compiler errors:

Yes, the firmware in linux-firmware should work. If not, please report
it to linux-wireless mailing list.

Where can I get corresponding firmware?

hw2.1.1 is supported and I'm using that for testing. The driver also
supports hw2.0 but I haven't tested that so there might be some issues.
hw1.0 is not supported.

Not yet, but hopefully in the near future.

Like Julian said, you need to use hostapd.

I have a patch pending to add suspend support and will send it as soon
as I find some free time. But the wifi connection will be lost in resume
anyway. If you want to maintain the connection to AP during suspend then
you are looking for wowlan support which ath6kl doesn't currently support.

Hi Tony,
One small point

This is _not_ how you enable master mode.
You need to use the hostapd utility.
See:

It would be nice to have support for wowlan but I don't know when it
will be implemented. Hopefully sooner than later.

That sounds quite low. Can you describe your test setup in detail,
please? That would help to understand the issue.

Hehe, that's true. But I was asking about the wifi channel frequency
which you can check with 'iw wlan0 link' :)
