Yeah, I'm not touching ECM for a while at least until more pressing stuff like voltage adjustments work.
Cause, currently, voltages are hardcoded in the DTS which is fine for IPQ8071A but not so much for IPQ8072A and higher parts cause they are all binned and can be unstable with the current voltages.
There are authorship issues with his branch that he has not responded about so far, so I ain't touching that and its really down on the priorities. @Ansuel is sorting the QCA DMA hacks for NSS-DRV currently.
@dchard my crazy idea is to make wifi offload work without ecm so i'm working on that...
i honestly think we should trash the patch and work on our own... that way we can solve the authorship problem...
Currently nss-drv compiles correctly on 5.15 without any special patch. There is a branch in nss-packages to start experiment.
I did not see the question above but maybe I missed it, but if you mean the actual hosted firmware, I have been thinking about that and could just as easily pull it from their repo which is easy enough to do from the build action. I do not own that you are correct and that could be better handled. I will rewrite that later today because the only thing I actually own are the scripts I wrote which I can host without issue.
As for the proper way to handle it, I do know that you have much more experience at this and I was just putting out something that worked for me and hoped it would help others in the long run.
If I missed something or did something wrong I would be very happy to revisit it so it can be correct.
This repo only contains the old 5.10 kernel based code from robi markos repo. Those guys just grabbing commits from robis repo, removing the commit messages and merging the code into their repo.
With kernel 5.10 nss accelleration etc. was already working, this is nothing new.
The point is, we need kernel 5.15 support to have even a chance to get the ipq807x merged into openwrt.
So there's is really no point in maintaining the kernel 5.10 based code.
Hmm, that looks interesting, let me convert that C45 address and see what its actually setting.
Ok, so it's just messing with MMD7, reg 0 which is Autonegotiation Standard Control and setting BIT(9) which forces the autoneg to be restarted.
This doesn't really make sense to me as autoneg completes fine.
And the 0x4004c441 setting just sets 0x8 which is already set, funnily this reg is missing from the datasheet completely.
so with 5.10 nss works also with pppoe ?
I finally have time to see about the performance and with static ip I get mixed results, original firmware, sometimes DL is ~5Gb/s but UL is always ~9Gb/s
with pppoe it's only 1Gb/s, for the moment I don't know exactly if the issue is not from my pppoe-server, maybe kernel mode is not working, but also the cpu is only ~25% (all 6cores)
I woud like to test this with openwrt, I guess that first from initramfs and see how it behaves, the wifi stability concerns me the most, or this board is not like the xiaomi device ?

reply to myself..
it seems that the limitation is pppoe-server it self, with pfsense I can get at least 2.6-3 Gb/s, I'll try to see about other pppoe-server implementations
LE:
ok used vyos (don't know why I didn't try openwrt as the pppoe-server ), so the hardware can do it!
), so the hardware can do it!
