Configuring QCA9984 in LEDE as a client fails

[Stone, Aaron]

Hi,

I'm attempting to get the QCA9984 radio working with the ath10k driver as a client.
I've already been successful getting it running in AP mode.
When I attempt to put it in client mode LEDE shows 0% Radio Wireless is disabled or not associated.

I've already posted a thread on LEDE forum showing some of the logs
https://forum.lede-project.org/t/cant-add-wave2-qca9984-radio-in-client-mode/6649

Through compiling in a few well-placed debug messages I've been able to obtain some additional info.

>From there it also calls wpa_supplicant with a failure as well but this wasn't compiled into the off the shelf LEDE.
Currently my best guess is that IW is have a problem with the driver.

I'm a bit new to the ath10K driver but I'm trying to learn as much about it as possible.  I don't know all the steps that
Need to be taken in order to get the radio working in client mode but if anyone can point me in the right direction
It would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Aaron
