Documentation
What is the MCS index for Wi-Fi?
MCS stands for Modulation Coding Scheme and is an industry metric index based on Wi-Fi connection parameters between a client and wireless access point. These parameters include modulation type, coding rate, spatial streams, channel width, and guard interval.
How will Laird handle the FRAG attack announced by Wi-Fi Alliance in 2021 May?
Please refer this blog as below. Laird are currently investigating these issues internally and investigating with the chipset vendors and our internal QA team to establish test scenarios to evaluate the impacted devices.

How do I find out which clients are connected to the soft AP I created using my Laird Wifi module with Linux
Once you have created the soft AP on your Linux system and have successfully connected clients to the soft AP you can issue the command # iw wlan0 station dump to get a list of connected clients. Note: the interface name (here: wlan0) might be different in your system.
How do I set up an open hotspot using Network Manager?
You can use the Network Manager command line interface to create an open hotspot using this command:
nmcli con add con-name open_hotspot ifname wlan0 type wifi ssid yourSSID mode ap wifi.band bg wifi.channel 6 ipv4.method shared
How do I disable the changing of the MAC address after each reboot for the IG60 and 60-SOM DVK running off an SD card with Laird Linux
You need to boot into Linux and after Login log in issue the command
fw_setenv ethaddr <desired MAC address> for example: fw_setenv ethaddr AABBCCDDEEFF and reboot You can read out the address previously set with: fw_printenv ethaddr
