BCM4360: Access Point mode #1

Closed ozalexo closed 8 years ago

ozalexo commented 8 years ago

Hello,

Is it possible to set BCM4360 device (Asus PCI-E AC68) into Access Point mode? Currently there is no NL80211_IFTYPE_AP mode in the list of modes: wdev->wiphy->interface_modes = BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION) | BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC);

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK this driver does not support any operating mode other than IBSS and managed. On my machine iw list returns:

Wiphy phy0
...
    Supported interface modes:
         * IBSS
         * managed
...

Unfortunately I do not own this code base, I just patched it for newer Linux kernel versions. I hope the brcm80211 driver will support this chipset in the future (PCI ID 14e4:43a0 just for the reference).
