As I said before, I just deliver the firmware files to the community and
the firmware team creates the actual releases. But my understanding is
that these are from different branches which are built independently
(and might have different features, like in this case the mesh support)
so I would not make any conclusions if any firmware is "better" just
from the numbers alone.

would be good to have changelogs so see what has been changed to test

you are right ... those numbers are not a good pointer. I found this repo, and
from the checkin dates it looks like 10.2.4.97 is indeed way older (from
September 2015) than 10.2.4.70.42 (April 2016):
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/qsdk/oss/firmware/ath10k-firmware/log/10.2.4
I would agree that Changelogs would be helpful.
Thanks for the clarification. We will then stick to the 70's branch then.
Does anyone have pointers for the other questions? :) I would believe hat many
people would be interested in running AP + Mesh encrypted at the same time (at
least in the open source community ...).
Thanks,
Simon

We're testing encrypted AP + Mesh quite successfully right now with
this firmware: https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/commit/307cb46b
06661ebd3186723b5002de769c7add83, of course that is for a QCA4019 chip.
Which chip are you using? I can poke the firmware guys for possibility
of getting a 10.4.3.2 firmware build for it.

Hi Thomas,
thanks for the hint! We are using an older QCA9882. I assume your firmware will
not work for this one? If you can poke the firmware guys, that would be great.
:)
We also want to test the 70.52 firmware version next, maybe there were some
changes since the .42 we used.
Thanks,
Simon

I have just checked it with 10.2.4.70.54:
| 802.11s encrypted | 802.11s unencrypted
---------------+-------------------+--------------------
AP encrypted | AP doesn't beacon | works
AP unencrypted | AP doesn't beacon | works
I've also checked 10.2.4.70.12-2 (doesn't seem to support encrypted mesh at
all) and with rawmode=1 (makes no difference).
Kind regards,
Sven

I just tested it with a IPQ4019 with the (10.4-)3.2.1-00050 image. And I see a
similar problem with it. But the AP was not actually active (device was in AP
mode but no channel was set and it didn't beacon). So we end up again with an
incomplete initialized AP but hostapd was running.
I've simply disabled the LEDE wifi stuff and ran the attached autostart.sh
manually. This seemed to work fine. This is rather odd because the same
configuration for wpa_supplicant and hostapd was used. It also works fine with
the normal LEDE setup scripts when encryption on the mesh device is disabled
and it also works fine with ath9k.
With the LEDE scripts/netifd, hostapd thought that the AP went up:
root@lede:/# hostapd_cli status
Selected interface 'wlan0-1'
state=ENABLED
phy=phy0
freq=2462

I just tested it with a IPQ4019 with the (10.4-)3.2.1-00050 image. And I see a
similar problem with it. But the AP was not actually active (device was in AP
mode but no channel was set and it didn't beacon). So we end up again with an
incomplete initialized AP but hostapd was running.
I've simply disabled the LEDE wifi stuff and ran the attached autostart.sh
manually. This seemed to work fine. This is rather odd because the same
configuration for wpa_supplicant and hostapd was used. It also works fine with
the normal LEDE setup scripts when encryption on the mesh device is disabled
and it also works fine with ath9k.
With the LEDE scripts/netifd, hostapd thought that the AP went up:

Hi Simon,
According to firmware guys the latest code can actually compile down to
any chipset, so it should simply be a matter of getting builds released.

Hi Thomas,
thats great news, thanks for the heads up!
How are we going to get those builds released? Who can I ask, or do you want
to take care of that?
