I haven't tried to use the WUSB6100M in AP mode. Perhaps you can share your configuration so I can try it myself? I have a QEMU based test environment I use with the WUSB6100M: https://github.com/erstrom/buildroot-ath10k-test Perhaps I can extend it with some AP tests.
I have successfully built the USB driver on Ubuntu 16.04 and the
Managed
mode is working fine. I'm using the Linksys WUSB6100m with theQCA9377
chipet. But there is a slight issue.When you bring down the interface with
$ sudo ifconfig wlan1 down
it doesn't throw any error and actually brings the interface down.
However, when you try to put it back up, it gives the error below and you simply cannot work with the device after that. You have to pull it out and plug it back in to get it working again.
Here is the
dmesg
output I got when issuing theifconfig wlan1 up
command.I need this behaviour to work because I'm trying to use hostapd to set up an AP, and the init process fails when it tries to bring the interface up after putting it down.
Same issue with kernels made both out of the master branch and the most recent high latency branch (
4.14.0-rc7
).I'm trying to figure out whether the problem is with the driver, the firmware file or the board file.
As the firmware file I'm using one I got by using
athwlan_AR6320.bin
andotp_AR6320.bin
files as theqwlan
andotp
files respectively inath10k-fwencoder
. As the board file I'm usingeeprom_qca9377_7_1p1_Robin_clpc_fcc.bin
. All these files were obtained from the official Linksys site at http://downloads.linksys.com/downloads/driver/Win10.zip.Any help is highly appreciated.
