Hi, The latest Atheros driver for AR9271 chipset, it seems the driver is hardcoded to limit the virtual interfaces to two!
The previous USB driver for AR9170 chipset (carl9170) has the capability to create/use > 128 interfaces i can see the commits on this regard i.e ( http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=134971207706144&w=2) i need to simulate more clients(like 32) on the AR9271 chipset. Is there any way that i can trick the ath9k code/firmware and get it done. or is there any limitation from the HW/firmware that the no. of interface reduced to 2 ? I have tried to increase the interface limit to 8 in file htc_drv_init but it does not help. when i make the 4th interface up the command hangs and non of the interface related commands works(ifconfig,ip,iw etc) Thanks in advance !!! >>>>>>>>>>> [root@localhost logs]#iw list valid interface combinations: * #{ managed, P2P-client } <= 2, #{ AP, mesh point, P2P-GO } <= 2, total <= 2, #channels <= 1 [root@localhost logs]# lsusb Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc.
