How to set up dual mac 88W9098

masakiyo — Sun, 11 Feb 2024 15:33:37 GMT

Hello.

We are evaluating 88W9098.

Now, the following four interfaces are visible on the dual-mac 88W9098.

The mlan0 and uap0 are first MAC/PHY, and the mmlan0 and muap0 are the second MAC/PHY.

We want to use the first MAC/PHY with mlan0 only and the second MAC/PHY with muap0 only.

Is this possible? And please tell me the driver settings for that.

Hello,

I am checking internally. I will let you know.

In the meantime, did you check User Manual UM11583 Getting Started with 88W9098/88Q9098 Evaluation Board – User manual you will find on product page https://www.nxp.com/products/wireless-connectivity/wi-fi-plus-bluetooth-plus-802-15-4/2-4-5-ghz-dual-band-2x2-wi-fi-6-802-11ax-plus-bluetooth-5-3:88W9098#documentation (see chapter "7 Wi-Fi bring-up and testing") ?

Aren't the following commands matching your needs :
"ifconfig uap0 down"
"ifconfig mmlan0 down"
?

Hello,

You can also use the parameters as below to disable mmlan0 and uap0 interface :
- SD9098_0 use drv_mode=1
- SD9098_1 use drv_mode=2

set drv_mode in a configuration file when loading driver (ex : modprobe moal mod_para=nxp/wifi_mod_para.conf) as the following :

Verified configurations:
SD9098_0 = {
cfg80211_wext=0xf
max_vir_bss=1
cal_data_cfg=none
ps_mode=1
auto_ds=1
host_mlme=1
drv_mode=1
fw_name=nxp/sdiouart9098_combo_v1.bin
}

SD9098_1 = {
cfg80211_wext=0xf
max_vir_bss=1
cal_data_cfg=none
ps_mode=1
auto_ds=1
host_mlme=1
drv_mode=2
fw_name=nxp/sdiouart9098_combo_v1.bin
}
