then it might be something different. i'm not sure at that point. but
consider that AP_VLAN is also used for WDS STA/WDS AP implementations.
so each wds station becomes a individual interface on ap side for
bridging. that might of course have a influence to broadcast/multicast
frames
Interestingly, the WDS "mode" works perfectly fine on the same hardware. So I
have not a real idea what the difference is between EAP AP_VLAN and WDS (PSK)
AP_VLAN at the moment.
mmh. l have a idea
try the following (this a patch in my tree) and check also the wmi
services for this service flag which might be a difference between these
firmwares

ret = regulatory_hint(ar->hw->wiphy,
in addition the 10.4 firmware series has a special wmi flag which is not
used by ath10k, but solved alot of problems
for me (in my case with
reauthentication)
WMI_VDEV_DISABLE_4_ADDR_SRC_LRN
this might be unrelated to your issue. but this flag must be set anyway
for proper work. but it isnt by default in all 10.4 firmwares.
Good to know, thanks.
For Ben Greear's firmware, the only workaround which I found until now was to
set NL80211_ATTR_MULTICAST_TO_UNICAST_ENABLED to 1 to force mac80211 to send
multicast as unicast.
so if its a pure multicast/unicast issue it could be also a basic rate
issue for ct firmwares.
Interesting idea. Btw. I've also switched to sw crypto for a test just to make
sure that there is no HW key problem.
Kind regards,
Sven
