The custom NVM is meant for internal use only. To override antenna settings please use the nl80211 command: NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY You can use the 'iw set antenna' command. > 00000000 54 4c 50 2a 2a 4d 56 4e 2c 11 00 00 08 10 21 20 > 00000010 c0 00 00 02 03 03 02 11 2f 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > 00000020 00 00 00 00 > > Signed-off-by: Marek Vasut <marex@denx.de> > --- > 2.43.0

But why does NVM loading not work without this patch ? > To override antenna settings please use the nl80211 command: NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY > You can use the 'iw set antenna' command. I need to use only the AUX antenna and disable MIMO entirely, the 'iw set antenna' didn't work, the custom NVM fragment does work. But I do need this extra patch to load the NVM fragment. Is the patch correct ? Why is the 0x1000 returned and why does it have to be masked out ?
