I tried to set up station mode using ath10k and wpa_supplicant.
If I used the firmware in branch 10.1 version firmware-2.bin_10.1.467.2-1 (which said that support STA mode but not well tested) , it crashed after associating with the access point:

Than I tried another version of firmware from branch 999. (which said that support STA mode) but it worse, the firmware crashed before seeing the access point. (can not associate)
This crashed is because of my system or just only the firmware issue? And is the firmware still continue developping? (There is a debug message of my system in the attached file if any one are interested in)

Btw is there anyone could set a channel (from 52 and more) that employs DFS sucessfully confirm it for me cause I can not do it until now :D
Thank you all of you for the support,
