tegra-ath10k-5ghz-access-point

Purpose

• Remove the NO-IR restrictions on the 5GHz networks when setting up the machine in AP mode so you can broadcast on those frequencies. This only works with chips that use the ATH10k driver and has been only tested with the hardware/software specified below.
• WARNING: Check local regulations before using.

Hardware/Software Requirements

• Jetson AGX/NX
• SX-PCEAC2-M2-SP Wifi Chip
• Kernel 4.9

How to Use

1. Modify hostapd.conf file to your liking (SSID, password, etc)
2. Copy modified hostapd.conf to /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf (Will switch you to AP mode)
3. Add static IP for wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces (To switch from being a client to hostspot)

   auto wlan0
   iface wlan0 inet static
     address 10.10.0.1
     netmask 255.255.255.0
   

4. Ensure hostapd and dnsmasq services are enabled
5. Run sudo ./run.sh to patch and build kernel modules ATH + ATH10k (This will put the domain to US. Modify the run.sh to change)
6. Reboot and check sudo iw list to make sure all the NO-IR on the 5GHZ frequencies are gone!
