Hello folks,

Is there any Android smartphone that uses the mac80211 framework for
Wi-Fi management (e.g: driver with support for mac80211)?

After searching several hours, the only result that I have is that the
wcn36xx driver [1] can be used on some Android devices. The problem is
that the driver is not yet upstreamed and it does lack a lot of
features.

If this is not the bestplace for asking this question, please link me
to the correct mailing list.

Thank you,
Doru

Very few. There used to be phones with TI chipset that did.

Another one is this platform:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2015/04/09/introducing-intel-
atom-x3-code-named-sofia-soc-processor-series

which (essentially) uses the 'iwlwifi' driver with mac80211.
