Hi
Is this PR progressing? Do you know if the vendor OpenWRT image use proprietary WiFi drivers?
thank you
I have found a problem with WIFI mac adress as with Tenbay T-MB5-EU-v01
if you build add lines in -> ramips/mt7621/base-files/etc/hotplug.d/ieee80211/10_fix_wifi_mac
just after **case "$board" in **
cudy,x6)
hw_mac_addr="$(mtd_get_mac_binary factory 0x4)"
[ "$PHYNBR" = "0" ] && macaddr_add $hw_mac_addr "2" > /sys${DEVPATH}/macaddress
[ "$PHYNBR" = "1" ] && macaddr_add $hw_mac_addr "3" > /sys${DEVPATH}/macaddress
;;
With the patch WIFI MacAdress are lan + 2 for 2.4GHz & lan + 3 for 5 Ghz
Many thanks solved by [blocktrron] Developer
i have found that OpenWrt snapshot not use a good dts file for a Tenbay T-MB5EU-v01 and I am having problems because the MAC addresses are not correct
in original:dts file for WIFI:
&pcie1 {
wifi@0,0 {
reg = <0x0 0 0 0 0>;
mediatek,mtd-eeprom = <&factory 0x000>;
};
};
but when i run i have not the good values for the wifi 2.4 Ghz & 5 Ghz
in factory firmware mtd3.bin
the good value is only to 0x8000 + 4 for the 2 * wifI bands
->00008000 : 00 00 00 00 E4 67 1E 29 BA 4C 00 00 00 00…

I am struggling with the vendor's image for OpenWrt, as I have recently documented . and I would love to see support for this device in the core project officially completed, with prebuilt images available for download.

Keep an eye on it, and start looking for snapshots once it's approved.
Do PRs such as the one pending generally get reviewed through a regular queue, or is it generally a more irregular process of those with approval permissions chancing to take an interest in a pending request?
