Hello,

When attempting to bring up my mesh0 interface, I recieve an error and
in "dmesg":

[ 901.629999] ath10k_pci 0001:90:00.0: must load driver with
rawmode=1 to add mesh interfaces

I enable this mode by changing my bootargs, appending "ath10k_core.rawmode=1".

On boot "dmesg" reports:

[ 12.040581] ath10k_pci 0001:90:00.0: rawmode = 1 requires support
from firmware

Where does this "supported" firmware come from?

I'm using SparkLAN WPEQ-261ACNI(BT) 802.11ac/abgn + BT PCI Express
Mini Card (Half) - Qualcomm QCA6174A-5 chipset, with a mainline 4.20.7
kernel and Ubuntu Bionic root filesystem.

Thank you for looking into this, I'm glad to provide more information if needed.

Best regards,

Cale Collins
