Hi Juliusz, As far as the wl1835 driver is concerned it has MIMO enabled. It is defined in the file /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl18xx-conf.bin in the entry wl18xx.phy.number_of_assembled_ant2_4 = 0x02. You can inspect the contents of this file with
#wlconf -i /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl18xx-conf.bin -g | grep phy There is no ad-hoc mode driver for WL18xx. There is an 802.11s mesh driver using open80211s. However, this is only available in TI's driver at the moment in latest release R8.7 (http://software-dl.ti.com/ecs/WiLink8/latest/index_FDS.html). It is relatively trivial exercise to build this driver.
