IIRC someone reported monitor mode working on QCA6174 hw3.0 but I don't remember the specifics. v4.14 and v4.9 are quite old kernels and WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00079-QCARMSWPZ-1 is also 1.5 years old firmware. I recommend trying latest ath10k (for example v5.1) and latest firmware for QCA6174: https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/blob/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/4.4.1/firmware-6.bin_WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00132-QCARMSWP-1 -- Kalle Valo _______________________________________________ ath10k mailing list ath10k@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath10k
