Description

Greetings.

As far as I know, the MT7615 family of chips are advertised as having 802.11ac Wave2 capabilities (aka MU-MIMO). What is their support status or any future plans for that in the mt76 driver?

iw phy output does not show anything related, but I don't know, maybe it's all handled transparently in the firmware or something.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the mt76 driver’s MT7615 support and the iw phy output described in the issue. Compare the advertised 802.11ac Wave2 and MU-MIMO capabilities with the driver and firmware behavior, then establish whether support is present, transparent, or requires a defined implementation plan.
