Is open80211s compatible with 802.11ad?

[mojianhua01]

I have several 802.11ad chipsets and want to build a mesh network using open80211s.
Does anyone know if open80211s is compatible with 802.11ad chipset?
If not, I will give it up and try other methods :-(

AFAIK, no one has integrated or tested with 802.11ad chipset. You need to at least see whether the following allow by the firmware: 1. Able beaconing 2. Promiscuous mode 3. 802.11s header extension ...

Hello Guys! What about 802.11 ac chipsets? Any supported cards?

[bcopeland]

ath10k should work reasonably well for 11ac.

I couldn't make it work using a ATH10k QCA6174 chipset. Could you suggest me a specific card or dongle? Thanks @bcopeland

I know for a fact that it works on qca9984, not sure about any others.

1. I'm definitely going to try them but I cannot find a qca9984 card with an M.2 interface. Unfortunately, in my NUC I have a NGFF M.2 E key interface instead of a mini-PCIe interface. I could try a FPC cable adapter to bridge these interfaces. Kindly let me know if you have some better suggestions.
2. I see a repository https://github.com/bcopeland/ath10k-mesh. Do you think this package is still relevant to latest kernel?
   Thanks once again @bcopeland.
