Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with amprate and amptone on the QCA7500 adapter, using the command lines and MAC address shown in the issue. Compare the QCA7500 behavior with the reported QCA7420 use case; done means identifying the compatibility cause and documenting or implementing a verified way for amptone to measure signal quality.

Description

Hi,

I have been using amptone succesfully to measure signal quality with QCA7420 based adapters. I would like to make similar measurements with a QCA7500 based adapter, but amptone gives me an error:

$ amprate -i eth0 -rn
eth0 00:B0:52:00:00:01 Request Version Information
eth0 F4:06:8D:AD:2C:09 QCA7500 MAC-QCA7500-2.2.1.770-00-20160307-CS
eth0 F4:06:8D:AD:2C:09 F4:06:8D:AD:2B:48 TX 611 mbps Alternate
eth0 F4:06:8D:AD:2C:09 F4:06:8D:AD:2B:48 RX 741 mbps Alternate
$ amptone -i eth0 -s F4:06:8D:AD:2C:09 F4:06:8D:AD:2B:48
amptone: Too many carriers: Value too large for defined data type
$

Is there something that I could do to make amptone work with QCA7500 chipset?

Thanks!
