someone having the same? 
is it link to wrong package selection or mtk bug ?
you have a switch!

once i get something stable out of banana, it will feed that big boy
i picked up mainly banana because of the 2 sfp port to get optical feed in from isp and feed out to the switch 
same with you, seems each eth port are duplicated
did you build with or without mediatek?
Really good work, I'm trying to build a new image using your git hub repo (need to add some additional packages), but the first build seems to fail when running the script "./bpi-r4-openwrt-builder.sh", Any idea what is going wrong/what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
so answering to myself, this is the mtk patching that create this abomination 
with 24.10 branch, i get no issue
How is the bandwidth and noise from wifi? That is the only real reason why i started using the mediatek feed. Or did you just removed some patches. I'll see in a few minutes if i have the same troubles. Do you used the 24.10 snapshot branch? Maybe they have fixed/updated the things which made troubles at releases before. Hopefully, cause at least i want to use a stable OpenWRT version without any beta(before alpha) drivers and go back to stock openwrt if all goes fine.
I dont use any wifi. i started playing around with that in case my sfp modules wouldn't be recognized but this is not the case atm.
Concerning the weird lucci interface, it was openwrt -b 24.10 and mediatek feed and without the mediatek feed then no troubles...
i will most probably go to vanilla openwrt to be not stuck with futur update and hope that we get more and more being integrated out of the box.
Ok without wifi you are a lucky boy cause most problems come from the very new mediatek drivers - first release after alpha and beta is just a week old. However it is also my goal to get back more and more to vanilla openwrt
Noise, apparently, is not an issue also in current vanilla.
It gets reported around -75db due to iwinfo getting confused in reading it but is not actually that high. There's a patch for it (iwinfo) and I have the right noise floor around -90db.
But 24.10-SNAPSHOT or? Cause at 24.10.1 i also got problems with bandwith which is more important than noise problem(s). 
i think i should just give it a try
I'm building vanilla from openwrt-24.10 tot and a custom patch to read the correct noise level.
BW-wise, I'm now getting about 850mbs on the 5g 160mhz channel... across a floor, not exceptional but usable.
Cannot really demonstrate but I take that reading the correct noise floor allows the wifi to actually use a better speed? It also helps manage the AP reports as far as roaming is concerned (802.11r)?
is there any useful patch from mtk except wifi one?
i saw some post with guys getting all the right temperature (sfp/cpu/...) which i don't get at the moment 
Are you using the woziwrt's build script? Could you show me which MTK patch you removed?
Good evening @ titoum, those are my temperatures. The noise shouldn't bother you.
You'll obviously have the noise, but it's the only way I've found to get to them.
The temperatures with the original box, unmodified and sealed, are hell, especially if you want to use it 24/7/365, as I do.
Here's the link:

thx for the reply!
i wont use nvme or wifi so temperature should be pretty low compared to others
i was just wondering why i wasn't getting any temperature value into lucci.
it seems that i still need some mtk patch to get those.
i will probably hack a bit the banana case to put a 80mm fan on top and bring some fresh air in it so it will cool down fiber sfp and the reste of component and air will get out through antenna holes :D.
You need additional packages for Luci and my modified dtsi file

how do you apply those on openwrt? do i need to rebuild like mtk ?
sorry for the newcomer question 
Copy and paste, see to the script of Wozi
