QCA9984 ap mode with ath10k backport cannot be connect

Fri Nov 10 00:10:48 PST 2017

Hi:

For the vht_cap part, thank you for correcting my configures.

Talking the bridge parameter, it's wired that i tested in my pc which
i use brctl to bridge two interface and still can get ip without the
bridge parameter in hostapd configure.

I also have another card which driver is ath9k. I use the same
backport source to build ath9k module, and get the same result(I do
not get any fail message in dmesg).

Enable wifi ap mode is successful. But cannot be connected. Then i
change to previous built modules( an issue with old module is wifi
card with ath9k cannot use), and i can connect to ap.

Here are both backport source i made(backport to linux4.2):
Old:  https://drive.google.com/open?id=1y00crEiBzpZS9qILvFaPYfZrVKdIXuT4
New:  https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zuxoyysXj2RskxKeMZ4h2sakqJI1wYzT

I diff the backport sources and they are very different. Maybe it's
something wrong with lower part?
