Hi Ben,

I'm trying to run your firmware on my Mikrotik NetMetal device, which features a QCA9882 radio card, but it can't be loaded.

If you can help me I can provide you my dmesg log.

My firmware does support IBSS, and it has at least some support for IBSS-RSN.

My notes indicate that I had ath10k <-> ath9k IBSS-RSN working, but for one reason or another, I did not have a stable ath10k <-> ath10k IBSS-RSN connection.

There are encrypted virtual devices that one can use on top of un-encrypted IBSS connections, so maybe that is the best solution in the meantime.

I'd be interested to know if someone did have a stable ath10k <-> ath10k IBSS-RSN on the .636 firmware.

I will be trying to enable AMSDU support on IBSS sometime soon, so I'll run some more tests then.

Thanks,
Ben
