Hi team,
For WL18XX, do we have the driver for setting the bandwidth mode((11b、11g、11n), like iwconfig wlan0 modu 11g ?
Thank you!

Hi Matthew,
Are you looking to set this as STA or AP? In AP, those can be set in hostapd.conf.
Hi Sabeeh,
The wilink 8 supports Std 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n, the customer wants to configure the device in one of these three, like 11b or 11n. Now the software they used cannot allow the I/O operation of SIOCGIWMODUL. They wander if we have other software driver that can do the configuration for 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n selection.

Hi Matthew,
Is the host running linux? Within the linux r8.8 driver, we have a tool called hostapd.conf. Here you can set those modes:
https://git.ti.com/cgit/wilink8-wlan/hostap/tree/hostapd/hostapd.conf?h=R8.8
Hi Sabeeh,
There are many branch in the link, do you know which version can be used for Linux ---3.14.52 ?
Thanks

Hi Matthew,
The latest R8.8 version of the Wilink8 linux driver supports linux kernel version 4.19. I would recommend your customer upgrading if possible. Please see our user's guide: https://www.ti.com/lit/swru561
However, I will ask around internally if we have an older driver that supports that kernel version. Note that 3.14 is about 8 years old, and so some of the newer features that is in wilink8 firmware as well as support may be limited.
Hi Sabeeh,
Debug under Windows, The customer cannot get the .bin and .ini file for WL18XX through the link in WiLink WLAN IP Real-Time Tuning Tool (RTTT)(https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swau085e/swau085e.pdf)
Could you help to provide the .bin and .ini file for WL18XX ?
Thanks

Hi Matthew,

I have received my answer.
WiLink8 release R8.7 SP3 supports backports i.e. driver can be ported to an older kernel version : https://www.ti.com/tool/download/WILINK8-WIFI-NLCP/R8.7SP3
Customer should be able to use build utilities to port this version to kernel 3.14
