Yes, it works. You need a few vht_capabs. I have mine like this: > vht_capab=[RXLDPC][SHORT-GI-80][TX-STBC-2BY1][SU-BEAMFORMER][SU-BEAMFORMEE][MU-BEAMFORMER][RX-ANTENNA-PATTERN][TX-ANTENNA-PATTERN][BF-ANTENNA-4][MAX-MPDU-11454][RX-STBC-1][MAX-A-MPDU-LEN-EXP7] The SU-, MU- and BF- are the required part only I think. > > Do you actually need anything other than standard whip antenna to > allow this to function properly? I don't think. FWIW Make sure the antennas are reasonably set up/separated from each other. If you cram them too tight/randomly beamforming won't work efficiently. I had problem with client antennas being too close to each other and lying flat on a table (I than made a foam-stand and put them a few cm apart) so the same thing must apply to AP as well. > > What about station mode? Works as well. Both on QCA99XX and QCA9377. Michał _______________________________________________ ath10k mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath10k
