11ac driver?

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Hi,

This is more of a question than an issue. I am planning to build your firmware for my R9000 and wanted to enable the ath10k debugging and tracing options (That's why I am planning to build from source instead of just using your released firmware).

My question comes from the fact that I see in the config that the ath10k module is not enabled by default. Does this router use some other module for its 11ac operation?

You will not be able to build fully functional firmware from this repo. The same as from NG GPL source codes:

See details here:

You may contact me on SNB forums.

P.S. as far as I know ath10k driver for R9000 is inside enclosed QCA firmware.
