88W8997 easyMesh

hi I'm frank. I am testing on Linux OS using SPB228 (purchased from hd wireless) module based on Marvell 88W8997. I tried to implement WIFI MESH, but the driver for easyMesh was not provided, so I was looking for other products. Then I found DVK-ST60-2230C Evaluation kit made based on 88W8997 states that it supports easy mesh. Can I get the Linux os driver for the kit? where? Also, is it possible to apply that driver to spb228?

Hello,

Could you please help us contacting the module manufacturer for some more information about the available resources for the module ?

The device indeed supports Mesh, still, you will need to check with the module manufacturer to validate the available drivers and enablement available for the specific module

Thank you,

The URL where the product was purchased is https://www.hd-wireless.com/
I purchased the SPB228 Evaluation board(HDA228-USB-SDIO) module here, and brief information about the product is http://docker.hd-wireless.com/Support/SPB228

If you don't log in, you can only see very limited information.
Pls, ask you to confirm about supporting Mesh..

Hello ,

Yes, I understand, that is the reason why I mentioned the chip supports that but you will need to verify with the manufacturer of your module about the enablement of those capabilities within their drivers.
