ath10k raw mode

ath10k raw mode

[Andreas Christoforou]

Dear All,

could you please someone send me or let me know where I can download a firmware with raw mode flag enabled for my QCA988X card.

Thanks,
Andreas

You can check this:

  https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA988X/hw2.0/10.2.4.70

At the very least 10.2.4.70.54 should support it (at least it does
advertise it). It probably makes sense to have this (list of raw-mode
supporting firmware revisions) listed somewhere on
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k - any
volunteers? :)

All I can tell from this is seems to crash when you try to start an
interface. Is it a monitor interface? If you intend to inject frames -
it's not supported. I'm not sure if anyone tried monitor mode for
sniffing with raw-mode enabled.

I found another message from Nov 2020, which suggests that QCA9377
*did* support monitor mode until… some specific firmware version.
https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2020-November/012053.html

However, I'm having trouble determining which are the firmware
versions referenced therein, since the commit IDs for linux-firmware
seem to be mistaken.

Does anyone have an idea which are the known-good firmware versions
for monitor/raw mode on QCA9377?
https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/commits/master/QCA9377/hw1.0

Thanks,
Dan

Hi all,
Apologies for resurrecting a 4.5-year-old thread, but it's the most
relevant one I can find…

I'm wondering if there's a firmware file with raw mode enabled for
QCA9377 (rev 31).

I've tried several firmware versions, and they all appear to be
similarly lacking in support for raw mode.

- Default firmware as distributed by Ubuntu

Any chance that there's another one which I'm overlooking, which does
support it?
