You would need serial anyway. But to enable it you need ssh
EDITED cuz i was dumb
Anyways, what I did trying to get SSH to work was initially putting the enable_ssh script in scripts folder under default_uci and adding the relevant code to the cron file. But after that did not open up SSH, I decided to try and delete the other files in default_uci but keep cron and scripts folder. That made the router unusable but I recovered it. Do i need to change the 'hal' file in default_uci?
You could hard reset it. You should not delete anything, just merge in the archive
No luck with SSH being open; resaving the config from the device shows no default_uci folder. Unless I am missing something with regards to the config (I basically only added the SSH in cron and scripts), maybe it has to do with my version being older than the one of the default_uci folder.
Have you tested the connection from any 6GHz client?
@lytr I tested with 6E phone (oneplus 12), mediatek, and intel 6e cards - all worked fine. Other folks tested with some samsung tablet too.
@all: new rebased version - it seems to have solved that annoying (but benign) thread crash at startup

Of course, works like a charm. See Adding Support for Verizon CR1000A - #1117 by sumo
@a_guy @sumo Thanks for the confirmation.
For the MX8500, I was unable to fully get the 6GHz radio working: OpenWrt support for Linksys MX8500 - #189 by lytr
On CR1000a the 6ghz radio was actually working in 5ghz mode with default Linux BDF. Only the fixed BDF from OEM firmware actually alllowed it to work in 6ghz. I see the reference to 5ghz in the log you posed. Could be the same issue?
I'm using a modified BDF file from OEM firmware that allows me to run a 6GHz radio.
What references are you mentioning?
Well, looked at your logs closely. Seems like I was mistaken and it does try to start in 6GHz. I'm not an expert there to tell what's wrong though. Maybe ask @Ansuel ?
Can you send me a working hostapd configuration /var/run/hostapd-phy2.conf?

Well, my daily driver, a Framework Laptop 13 AMD Ryzen, runs Mediatek MT7922, but I really do have and regularly test any and all available vendor's chipsets be it Broadcom (now Infineon and Synaptics), Intel, Mediatek, NXP, Qualcomm or Realtek (;-p). So I also do have various Intel AX (or even BE for that matter) cards. What exactly is it that you would be looking for?
Thanks @sumo. Now I have progress. My 6G radio works, but my client (Intel AX210) was unable to find the network on channel 33. After switching to the PSC channel 37 (https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_8.9.0_Web_Help/Content/arubaos-solutions/6ghz-radio/6ghz-conf-para.htm#Vldchnlnumpsc) I managed to connect.
The same client on Windows 11 is unable to find the network.

Good.
Not sure what exactly Windows does. I stopped using M$ stuff more than 15 years ago. However, even on Linux that Intel AX card will only ever connect to 6 GHz if it receives a correctly configured beacon from an AP with correct country code and such on a frequency that is actually allowed. Maybe the Windows driver/firmware does have a different configuration in that respect.
Intel adapters use LAR feature: Intel AX200 on OpenWrt 21.02.1: no suitable firmware found - #6 by Malvineous
However, this does not prevent you from connecting to AP with a different country code.
Sure, that is not what I meant. I am just saying that if the Intel driver/firmware does not like something about country code and/or frequency whether that is from the configuration or the beacons it is listening in on, it might just not work. So it's basically perfect, perfect crap if you ask me. But then other vendors are not much better...
