Configure OCB interface
=======================
sudo iw reg set DE
sudo ip link set wlan0 down
sudo iw dev wlan0 set type ocb
sudo ip link set wlan0 up
sudo iw dev wlan0 ocb join 5890 10MHZ

# Get the interface statistics
ip -s link show dev wlan0

Hi.
Could i follow this procedure on openwrt installed on a raspberry?
Thank you for your reply.

Hello,
what is the name of the board that you have used ?

Hi,
Anyone solved the old issue "iw dev wlan0 set type ocb command failed: Operation not supported (-95)" ?

I am having the similar problem i.e. when i do ocb join at 5890Mhz, i get a "command failed: invalid argument (-22)" error. Anyone managed to solve this issue?

Anyone get this working on Linux Kernel 5.x?

Anyone get this working on Linux Kernel 5.x?

I did it. You just have to apply the changes from:

CTU-IIG/802.11p-linux@bf45e01

what about on kernel 5.4.x? Anyone has been able to put it working ?

Hello, has somebody tried to make it work on ath10k driver?
Thank you in advance.

what about on kernel 5.4.x? Anyone has been able to put it working ?

This guide works for me © on Debian, with Linux 5.6 and ath9k.

If you want to patch Linux < 5.6, try the patches in this revision.

In the repository linked above, you can also find Ansible roles to set things up in an automated fashion.

Hello, has somebody tried to make it work on ath10k driver?

I have been just searching for this as well. Maybe (unlikely), I find the time to dig into ath10, but I'm really not into kernel development at all.

Also, It would be great if someone would drop a note here once he or she finds useful resources.

Update: I just pushed the work in progress' status regarding patching ath10k for IEEE 802.11p. I am not a kernel dev, so if anyone with expertise wants to join in… :)
