From ea5fce3f4616df3e4331e6b4e8e79767bded442c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bastian Bittorf Date: Sun, 19 Sep 2021 11:19:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix IBSS/adhoc mode for brcmfmac On systems using brmcfmac (e.g. Raspberry Pi Zero W) without this fix, the final setup-call: iw dev wlan0 ibss join ... fails with returncode 161 and message: "command failed: Not supported (-95)" So this patch calls an explicit: iw dev wlan0 set type ibss just prior to the 'ibss join' command. I have tested several ath9k and mt76xx devices with different revisions: this patch does not harm. please also apply to stable branch.
