What works
Only monitor mode can be used right now.
- sniffer. Due to hardware limitation it captures either only CP (control PHY) or DP (data PHY) frames
- BSS between 2 peers. Both AP and managed modes supported. Single peer is hardware limitation. Iperf gives slightly above 1gbps
= TODO =
- P2P and FST flows
- after disconnect, upon 2-nd connect hardware goes crazy
- MSI interrupt
- various offloads
Status
A slew of initial 802.11ad patches have been posted. The drivers needs quite a bit of work, but for those who have hardware and want to test the driver out in monitor mode you can use this release:
