The interface number itself does not change any functionality, what matters are the actual firmware release versions. And of course older firmware releases have more bugs and less features. It would be easier for people to help if you describe what's the actual problem you are trying to solve. -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches ___ ath10k mailing list ath10k@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath10k
Re: Firmware 4 vs Firmware 6 for QCA6174 hw3.0
Thanks for the answer. Is there any feature that uses only api 6? If I want to downgrade to api 4, is there anything that I should pay attention to?
