Subject: Promiscuous (not monitor) Mode support for ath10k

Hello,

I have a QCA6174 and I'm running tcpdump on the wireless interface to
listen for packets. I can receive packets addressed directly to the
device, but not any other packets on the network.

Does anyone know the status of promiscuous mode support on ath10k?
Note that this is different from monitor mode / supported on a larger
subset of hardware. Dmesg merely indicates that the device has
"entered promiscuous mode" when tcpdump is initiated.

Here is a link to similar discussion regarding the ath9k a few years
back: https://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=135936563626791&w=2

Thanks for the help!
Tomasz
