Is there a list of Intel Wireless Adapters and their hardware support of these protocols?

It would be very helpful for Wireless Network Administrators!

Thank you, Aleki,

I am still not clear what need to done, i have noticed an issue where product brief says 11k is supported and i dont see any RRM capabilities bit set, which means the support for 11k is not there with Intel chip-7265. To get this solved what do you want me to do.

Appreciate if u can clarify me what to be done would be of grt help to me. I dont have any prior experience beyond me testing. I am sure you can guide me

Thanks Aleki,

In one of the test system system having Fedora-25 with intel 7265, i was trying to create mutiple virtual wireless in managed mode, i was able to sucessfully create it using command "iw dev interface add type managed.

I could see the newly created virtual interface using iwconfig command

I can also able to connect using these virtual interface with AP.

But, only one remains active at any point of time,

Ex: i created three multi-vif (Vir-Sta1 , Vir-Sta2, Vir-Sta3)

I cannot conect all three virtual interface to some AP, at any point only one can be connected, and before connecting other i shut the link of first then only second will work)

Does that mean multi-vif with intel chipset is not supported or is it limited to one STA ?

Hi Aleki,

I had already used the driver from provided link, thts how the Adapter came up and Linux was able to detect it,

My question is very specific to the intel chipset, which has nothing to do With Linux support.

Linux task was to create multiple subinterface he did it correctly, his task of connecting to AP he is doing correcltly

Now only one interface is connecting at any point is relevant with the chipset, I think the technical Word is mutiple - Vif support

Could u confirm me whether the intel chipset has the capability, can we have mutiple Wirless virtual STA and all are connected.

I dont think it has anything to do Linux, if it is then could u help me to get more info on this.
