Hi Jacob,
Thanks for the information. Can you support me in enabling this feature? It is 
mostly for testing purposes and I want to setup a small demo

 
Regards,

If ethtool -T does not report SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE, that is because 
your driver needs to be updated.

It must first make sure to properly call the software timestamping function, 
and second it must set the .get_ts_info to a function that reports software 
timestamping is enabled.

You may not get very good performance over wireless, because the software 
timestamps will not match up very well to when the hardware ends up 
transmitting the packets.

It is likely for this reason that your driver does not enable software 
timestamping.

Thanks,
Jake
