WiFi and WiDi at same time

[albfan]

A long wanted feature is to use WiFi (internet) at same time you use miraclecast.

Based on this response:

http://ath9k-devel.ath9k.narkive.com/ehPhw9BD/wi-fi-direct-multi-role-support-in-ath9k

it is a matter of software (as long as your wifi hardware support multi-role)

For arch linux steps are:

• activate flag on kernel

  https://github.com/albfan/linux-ath9k-channel-context

• enable driver option

  echo "options ath9k use_chanctx=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf
  sudo modprobe -r ath9k
  sudo modprobe ath9k

Check all is enable (I will use this to check config and config automatically. Basically test $(echo /sys/modules/ath9k/use_chanctx) == 1)

After that config don't know really how to use it, but must be the easier part.
