<div dir="ltr"><div>"AC" refers to the latest generation of 802.11 wifi protocols, namely 802.11ac. The Atheros ath9k chips are 802.11n; the ath10k chips are 802.11ac.<br><br></div>At least according to the IEEE specification, ad-hoc modes should be available for both 802.11ac and 802.11n. In reality, some chip manufacturers don't even bother implementing adhoc mode support in their drivers. Open source driver support for these modes will vary based on the chip.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 2:45 PM, Jonathan Morton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chromatix99@gmail.com" target="_blank">chromatix99@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class=""><br>
