I have tried your change i still see the same issue. Right after connecting i see that packets are encrypted but once it unset/set "bitrates" plain packets are seen in sniffer. BTW, i am not rebooting for each driver update, just re-inserting the module, do i need to do a reboot for each driver change? ________________________________________ > From: Krishna Chaitanya <chaitanya.mgit@gmail.com> > Sent: Friday, July 8, 2016 5:26 PM > To: Manoharan, Rajkumar > Cc: linux-wireless; ath10k > Subject: Re: ath10k + iw set bitrates is causing FW crash > > On Fri, Jul 8, 2016 at 3:39 PM, Manoharan, Rajkumar > <rmanohar@qti.qualcomm.com> wrote: >>>> I am using ath10k driver with qca988x hw2.0 and trying to limit it to use >>>> VHT MCS0-7 (iw set bitrates vht-mcs-5 2:0-7). >>>> >>>> But the command it causing a FW crash, if it disable HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL >>>> no crash is observed but it still uses MCS9. >>>> >>>> tree: wireless-drivers-next: commit#535633a5ba4ea2504fa6c33176633becf0e59339 >>>> >>>> 1) If i disable HW_RATE_CONTROL, will ath10k honor >>>> the mac80211 rates? >>>> >>> >> Thanks for reporting the issue.

After reboot i dont see the "unencrypted" packet issue, i will do some more testing on limiting the rates, currently in my setup its not reaching MCS9 so cannot verify now.

It requires significant firmware modification (and driver too), and probably you would have to add MU-MIMO support to minstrel if you wanted to support latest ath10k NICs. Thanks, Ben

It need not be a full pledged one, but 11ac MIMO works should be good enough (for now).

Basically my requirement is to disable MCS8 and 9 for comparison. to check whether ath10k honors the iw command, i used below command. changing to 1SS, but i could see that it still transmits using 2SS. Does your patch ignore these settings except for adhoc mode? iw set bitrates vht-mcs-5 1:0-7

Yes, i know that option but havent tried that. My intention was to limit to MCS7 so in order to verify that commands i tried to change nss.
