Hi Michal, thanks.
Hi Kalle,
Is there a version of hw3.0 firmware (without Rx offloading) for me to
give a try of Monitor Mode on qca6174 hw3.2 chip? Thanks.

Hi Kalle,
I cloned your ath10k-firmware from your github. Would you please advise what
are the differences of hw2.1/firmware-5 and hw3.0/firmware-4 for qca6174?
Does hw3.0/firmware-4 support Monitor Mode?
I have a wlan card with BMI version (QCA6174_HW_2_1_VERSION 0x05010000) and
Monitor Mode works no problem with latest kernel v4.8-rc2.
I have another wlan card with (QCA6174_HW_3_2_VERSION 0x05030000). I am
trying to back-port ath10k from v4.8-rc2 to 3.10.73 for this HW_3_2 QCA6174
wlan card. Virtual interface (mon0) can be added and brought-up, but tcpdump
can not capture any packets. I am wondering if it could be related to
(hw2.1/firmware-5 vs hw3.0/firmware-4)?
Official hw3.x's firmware supports full rx offload. Rx event used to
deliver frames is very specialized effectively preventing sniffing /
monitor operation.
I don't know if there's any way around it without getting your hands
on firmware build that doesn't have the full rx offload compiled in
(assuming such a build even exists).
