docs: update chipset status; track CLAUDE.md#47
Merged
Conversation
README.md and CLAUDE.md were both stale on the supported-chipsets
front. Updating both:
- Lead paragraph: drops "8811 WIP / 8814 RX-only / 8821 not supported"
framing.
- Hardware landscape table: 8811AU now "Supported" (rides 8812 code
path with RFType=1T1R via REG_SYS_CFG bit 27); 8814AU now "RX +
flaky TX" — TX validated on fresh-chip single-cell runs but
degrades to LIBUSB_ERROR_IO after virsh USB passthrough cycles;
8821AU now "Supported" — proper 8821-specific init flow on master,
Android hotplug confirmed end-to-end.
- Demo env vars: adds DEVOURER_VID and DEVOURER_USB_QUIET (common to
both demos); adds the WiFiDriverTxDemo-only radiotap-encoding knobs
DEVOURER_TX_{MCS,LDPC,STBC,BW,VHT,VHT_MCS,VHT_NSS}.
- New "Testing" subsection: brief pointer to tests/regress.py with
the three matrix modes and the kernel-TX LDPC/STBC strip caveat.
- CLAUDE.md: same lead-para fix; updates the "8814AU TX broken"
gotcha to reflect the post-passthrough degradation pattern; adds
the specialised --full-matrix / --encoding-matrix / --sniffer-iface
modes to the regression-testing section; adds the txdemo env-var
knobs to the env-vars section.
CLAUDE.md was previously untracked — committing it now so future
contributors and Claude Code sessions inherit the same project
understanding.
