First and foremost you'll need to use firmware with "raw-mode" support - otherwise firmware just craps over frame headers. Some 10.2.4 support it - you can look into the mailing list archive for some discussions. Not sure if Rx will work though as firmware-controlled Rx filters may prevent you from receiving frames with crazy frame_control values. You'll need to check this out yourself. Some firmware revisions might have RX_FILTER wmi command support but this isn't used/documented anywhere and it's questionable how much it allows you to override. Whatever you find it'd be nice if you post whatever you find out (for posterity :) MichaĆ _______________________________________________ ath10k mailing list ath10k@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath10k
