which other openwrt forum ?

  1. apply this commit to your repo
    https://github.com/rmandrad/openwrt/commit/34988a2bb2b87ad58cdec828c6ea8389c3bca331

it includes Daniel's (dangowrt) patch to support 233 variant - https://github.com/rmandrad/mt76/commit/90e457b04357318cf347562c487881a4833f0d52
but also enable 11BE support on hostapd

  1. wget https://git01.mediatek.com/plugins/gitiles/openwrt/feeds/mtk-openwrt-feeds/+archive/refs/heads/master/autobuild/autobuild_5.4_mac80211_release/package/kernel/mt76/src/firmware/mt7996.tar.gz

  2. extract and copy to /lib/firmware/mediatek/mt7996 the files below

mt7996_wa_233.bin
mt7996_wm_233.bin|
mt7996_rom_patch_233.bin
mt7996_eeprom_233.bin
mt7996_dsp.bin

  1. reboot

note I just enabled 11be ... the gui doesn't support it ... and trying it now manually using hostapd

edit - the netfid / mac80211 scripts don't support iee80211be - does anyone know if there is ongoing work to update these ?
