We are designing an IOT system from scratch and want to select a WiFi module that works well with 80211s. ath9k is apparently tried and tested, but mostly covers older modules which are no longer available. We are evaluating ath10k and in particular QCA9377. Does that sound like a good choice, or do you have any other recommendations? For the final board, we are planning to use QCA9377-3 (SDIO). As I understand it, this should work with Linux 5.7 and later? We will test using https://wireless.murata.com/type-1pj.html soon. In the mean time, I tried to test QCA9377-7 (USB) using https://www.8devices.com/products/blue-bean unfortunately without success. I started out with Linux 5.7 and modified usb.c: Unfortunately this did not work: ath10k_usb is loaded but, but no net device is created. No error messages; nothing. Firmware package is Debian 10 firmware-atheros 20190114-2. I also noticed http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2017-December/010672.html and as far as I can tell, this was never merged.
