Any suggestion?

cervenka,

How did you get your Netgear R6220 MediaTek MT7621 ver:1 eco:3, running on with OpenWrt 22.03.0 r19685-512e76967f?
Did you upgrade? From with version? Which error messages did you see?
Or did you do a clean install?

If the version was below 19.07, you should do a clean install, without 'keep settings', as stated in: https://openwrt.org/releases/22.03/notes-22.03.0#upgrading_to_22030

This error looks like a firewall of Wifi mismatch, as most of the linked modules are nft, ip or apd related.

DG,
router was upgraded from 22.03.0-rc6, keeping configuration and without error messages.
Cause before I was using it as a dumb AP, I did a clean install with 22.03.0-rc5.
Adding below a further hint, from this morning log:

Sat Sep 24 06:27:28 2022 kern.warn kernel: [40955.484769] Rekeying PTK for STA 66:e4:94:9f:5c:6b but driver can't safely do that.

I agree with you that seems related to wifi

I've got a wifi network with WPA2 Enterprise configuration. I replaced original "hostapd-basic-wolfssl" with "hostapd-openssl". It may be some correlation with the last log line?

cervenka,

Did you made your own OpenWrt build with openssl instead of wolfssl, or just

These options do work with underlaying kernel routines, so I don't think you just can replace these without more libraries, like: wpad-basic-wolfssl, libwolfssl5.4.0.ee39414e and perhaps more.

DG,
I installed the build available in firmware selector (I've no time nor available powerful Linux machine for a self-compilation). I'd check hostapd-openssl dependences and they are all installed: libc, libnl-tiny1, hostapd-common, libubus20210630, libopenssl1.1
May be a bug associated to MT7621 processor? ... I'm using R6220 as main rooter but it's plan B solution, before I was using a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X (again a MT76*) but become instable since 21.02.3 and I was forced to land on R6220... (I'm looking for a more reliable device, probably a X86 based) ... the error appears after some hours of operations, if there is no solution but daily reboot I will do.

A suggestion to developers:
If hostapd-basic-wolfssl it's now the standard build package (cause of WPA3) why not integrate also WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise capability and avoid the replacement needs (for instance, I'm using both WPA3 and WPA2 Enterprise in my network).

Today I replaced hostapd-openssl with hostapd-wolfssl... my fault I didn't realize before it exists... :roll_eyes:
I will check in next days if the kernel error still persists. If not, I'm going to close the post as solved.

p.s. the syslog it's representing the same error.

Sun Oct  2 10:14:58 2022 kern.info kernel: [  559.193243] do_page_fault(): sending SIGSEGV to uhttpd for invalid write access to 00000000

To have the package replaced with hostapd-wolfssl didn't solve and probably it was not the root cause.
I'd find this post https://www.reddit.com/r/openwrt/comments/wsm7ya/anything_to_explain_sudden_uhttpd_crash_loops/

cervenka,

libwolfssl.so.5.4.0.ee39414e is a too low version!
see: https://openwrt.org/advisory/2022-10-04-1

Thanks, I missed the notification.
