Dear all,

in the current ath9k driver there is no mention of tx beamforming, in
the qca open sourced hal there are placeholders for the
functionalities. While Vivek Natarajan posted a kernel patch in 2010
[1] still in 2013 it was not implemented [2].

Can you comment on the status on tx beamforming in ath9k?
Are there any plans to implement/release it in the future?

Best
Markus
