PCI 88W9098 - Error while disabling rf test mode or config change for 2.4 G Hz in adapter1

[dalbvan]

Encountering this error when any config changes are made to adapter1 when its initially set to 2.4 Ghz. eg: - rf test mode off, band is changed from 2.4 Hz to 5 GHz

Steps to modify contents of adapter 1 config file - 

/proc/wlan0/adapter0/config

echo "rf_test_mode=1" >> /proc/mwlan/adapter0/config

2.  to set the radio 0 in power down mode, and radio 1 in 2.4 GHz band with 2x2 mode (Path A+B)

echo "radio_mode=0 9" >> /proc/mwlan/adapter0/config

3. Set TX antenna mode (path A+B)

echo "tx_antenna=3" >> /proc/mwlan/adapter0/config

4. Set 20 MHz bandwidth

echo "bw=0" >> /proc/mwlan/adapter0/config

5. Set RF channel 1

echo "channel=1" >> /proc/mwlan/adapter0/config

6. Set TX power to 8 dBm, MCS modulation and TX signal path A+B

echo "tx_power=8 2 2" >> /proc/mwlan/adapter0/config

7. Start TX with continuous packet mode at HE SS1 MCS8 rate with a 0xAAA pattern

echo "tx_continuous=1 0 0xAAA 0 3 0x2108" >> /proc/mwlan/adapter0/config

8. Stop TX

echo "tx_continuous=0" >> /proc/mwlan/adapter0/config

9.Disable the RF test mode

echo "rf_test_mode=0" >> /proc/mwlan/adapter0/config

Hello @dalbvan 

FP68 doesn't support rf_test_mdoe. You should use FP92 driver.

Hi Shaun,

Thanks for the reply.

Could you suggest full PCIE9098 Driver/Firmware package name to have  FP92 Driver.

Hi @shaun_wu,

Even if we use latest package PCIE-WLAN-UART-BT-9098-U16-X86-17.68.1.p149.50-17.26.1.p149.50-MXM5X17405_P40_V0V1-MGPL.zip available from

https://www.nxp.com/products/wireless-connectivity/wi-fi-plus-bluetooth-plus-802-15-4/2-4-5-ghz-dual...

It's reporting (FP68) only as shown below Linux boot-log, 

[ 11.381307] wlan: version = PCIE9098--17.68.1.p149.50-MXM5X17405.p40-GPL-(FP68)

Could you please suggest which PCIE9098 Driver or Firmware version should we use to have FP92.

Thanks,
