Hi John,
Thanks for the updates!
mac80211:
I've tested mac80211 on a large number of targets in the field:
- ~25 devices
- half of them having up to 4 wlan ifaces
- all running in IBSS
- Distance varying from 20m up to ~50km
For my cases, it seems to work well.
Small nit-pick:
In the bootlog, I'm seeing this:
[ 11.330000] Loading modules backported from Linux version
v4.18-rc7-0-gacb1872577b3
[ 11.330000] Backport generated by backports.git v4.14-rc2-1-71-g39f4ec76
Is the 2nd line correct?
ar71xx:
I'm now currently testing your ar71xx 4.14 bump (comitted today in
master) on a few different targets:
- Gl-mifi
- Rocket-m5
- RB912
- RB2011
...
Will let you know the results.
Koen
