Adding OpenWrt support for Xiaomi AX3600 (Part 1)

robimarko · 2022-05-31T08:48:51.924Z

Even if you dont use IPv6, there is really no point in disabling support for it.

JuliusBairaktaris · 2022-05-31T09:10:28.241Z

Thx for the advice! I included the option to make my build as lean as possible with just the things I use.
Edit: Removing the line has fixed my problems

Just installed your latest version from yesterday

Are we sure it's not just a placebo? Looking at the source i didn't notice anything related to peer handling.

thorsten97 · 2022-05-31T10:53:31.056Z

I just checked the config I used before. Only thing I changed this time is encryption set to forced aes.
Maybe that’s the reason?

LOS · 2022-05-31T12:11:15.355Z

Nope, it was buttery smooth!
On first device was used serial on second enabled serial access just in case and force flashed initramfs image. The result was same on both of them so far so happy!
Sysupgraded yesterday both of them as robi rebased his repo and I have applied your commits from increased repo on top of it. It worked like charm!

Installed * 4a73ee4 yesterday and still got those messages

@Ansuel I still have it on the latest update:

Ansuel · 2022-05-31T12:42:12.561Z

Thing is I know where they come from but I'm thinking of a reason...
For some reason the driver try to add an already added peer... Like the device doesn't sent deauth request...

My current solution would be to ignore the request if the peer is already there but I wonder if it would be a correct solution. It's strange that this think happen in the first place.

This mostly happens with my phone (AX), and it finds itself on 2.4G after an event like this. Both radios are on the same SSID, maybe that plays a part in this?

MOD: by the way there were some additions to wlan-open 14 days ago:

Maybe you can find something interesting (like NAPI for example)?

robimarko · 2022-05-31T16:23:53.757Z

The fun stuff is in the next branch, but nothing useful to us as they are reusing everything from QSDK, from the kernel to all of the packages

Ansuel · 2022-05-31T16:28:45.018Z

I also have the same said with same pass for both 2.4 and 5ghz

rossini · 2022-05-31T16:46:09.691Z

i am also using the same ssid/password on both bands.

Ansuel · 2022-05-31T17:39:30.008Z

I still need to check if the peer table is shared across the different vdev...

dchard · 2022-06-01T08:20:36.108Z

Kinda expected that you are monitoring it already

Though that some of it is generic enough to reuse/rework, like the NAPI related patches.

@Ansuel

I also have the same said with same pass for both 2.4 and 5ghz

And you also experience the same issue as we do?

robimarko · 2022-06-01T08:32:20.277Z

We are already using NAPI threading for ath11k, I tried using it for wired but its only got one queue and it doesn't work there.
They are using it via the dummy netdev that NSS-DRV creates

Ansuel · 2022-06-01T09:25:50.413Z

If you mean the occasional failed to add peer yes. Are we for real finding a correlation and an actual cause for this?

thorsten97 · 2022-06-01T09:43:43.100Z

they are also back on my side. It took 24h and the messages appeared again...
