Hello Bing, I am trying to enable HT support for 88W8897 using hostapd 2.2. 80211n mode works well . Now I want to enable AC mode to improve throughput . Can you share a sample hostapd.conf with 80211ac configuration.

Is there any open source driver that supports NFC and Bluetooth in this SoC?Yes; btmrvl.ko and btusb.ko would support PCIe-USB8897 BT functionality. Please check CONFIG_BT_MRVL kernel configuration parameter.Clarification: btmrvl driver only supports Bluetooth over SDIO (btmrvl_sdio). So it's for SD8897 cards only. The generic btusb driver works for PCIe-USB 8897 cards (Bluetooth is over USB). Regards, Bingquoted
For NFC, nfcmrvl.ko & nfcmrvl_usb.ko would support 8897 NFC functionality. Please check for CONFIG_NFC_MRVL kernel configuration parameter. Thanks, Avinash________________________________ http://www.mindtree.com/email/disclaimer.html
