Setting up a VHT ad-hoc connection with ath10k

[Jorge Baranda]

Dear Janusz,

By firmware 636, do you mean the one named 999.999.0.636 in the url: 
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k/firmware?
And then, if I use wpa_supplicant could it be possible to setup an ADHOC 
connection.
I thought wpa_supplicant is used to setup STAs in combination with 
hostapd (to setup APs).

Thank you very much for your time and attention,

Kind regards,

Jorge
