MT7621 beamforming and mu-mimo support #741

Open rspierz opened 1 year ago

rspierz commented 1 year ago

Installed snapshot this week on a nanoHD and support for beamforming and mu-mimo seems to be missing just by checking iw list or grep hostapd confs. The ubiquiti device specsheet for the nanoHD does specifically say it has support for these features. Any insight on this?

I don't think beamforming was ever coded for anything older than mt7915 as far as I can see from the list of commits (I could be wrong). no clue about mu-mimo

Ok thanks for looking into it. I was hoping it would be an easy port from something existing. I suppose this isn't worth the effort? (no issues currently)
