Hello, I am curious if there is any info on support for the wireless chipset Qualcomm Atheros QCA988x in the ath10k drivers. These devices are sold by PCEngines. Prior discussions I found on this list:

Is there any update? A brief look in the source code and manual did not show anything. What effort is required to implement a new driver, as Stefan mentions? Port something from another BSD? From Linux? Start from scratch? My motivation is to build a wireless router supporting 802.11ac (with OpenBSD if possible). Compex WLE600VX and WLE900VX support 867Mbps and 1300Mbps, respectively, according to their data sheets. I am not bound to this chipset, if there are alternatives which do work. -Alex
