I dont... I used to do it on my orangpi5plus 16GB RAM, Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

SuperKali · November 26, 2024, 4:28pm

You've to use x86 VM for compiling openwrt

anon_openwrt · November 26, 2024, 5:14pm

Why not?

DroZDi · November 26, 2024, 5:41pm

Really? Im doing that since the begining

Never knew self-hosting was possible this is a great link thanks. Seems like a PR to fix those couple minor items to make OpenWrt ready for self-hosting would be good. Maybe there are bigger reasons to not change but just a thought, e.g.:

"OpenWrt doesn't put execute permissions on the scripts for the automake , autoconf , and libtool packages. This prevents a lot of build systems (including OpenWrt's own) from working correctly. To fix..."
"OpenWrt needs one small utility (rev), and three bandaid libs to cover for GNU extensions to GLIBC. That makes OpenWrt about 99.9% self-hosting ready."

Ok please return to the main topic...

so I added support to jumbo frames - https://github.com/rmandrad/openwrt/commit/806306fd7b4a211f60c4121f183e5619fe717502

github.com/openwrt/openwrt

mediatek: mtk-eth-soc add initial support for jumbo frames on mt7988

Device Compatibility Check: Introduced is_mt7988_eth to determine compati…bility with the mediatek,mt7988-eth hardware. Includes logging messages for debugging compatibility during initialization. Enhanced MTU Configuration: Adjusted eth->netdev[id]->max_mtu to support jumbo frames if is_mt7988_eth is true. Default MTU remains the same for other device types. Dynamic RX Frame Size Handling: Modified logic in mtk_mac_config to accommodate jumbo frames and extended frame size configurations: For MTK_GDM_TYPE, jumbo frames are enabled when is_mt7988_eth is true. Added logic to handle extended frame sizes for MTK_XGDM_TYPE using the new MTK_XMAC_RX_CFG2. Initialization Updates: Extended device initialization to verify compatibility and set is_mt7988_eth accordingly. Enhanced Register Configuration: Modified MAC control register (MAC_MCR) handling: Configures RX frame sizes based on the new maximum frame size (MTK_MAX_RX_LENGTH_9K) if is_mt7988_eth is enabled. Configures the MTK_XMAC_RX_CFG2 register for MTK_XGDM_TYPE devices. tested on: filogic/bananapi4 Signed-off-by: Rudy Andram <rmandrad@gmail.com>

Any sd card images already reasy to use?

I already have a dhcp server on the network. So usually, i disable openwrt's own dhcp server and just bridge the wireless interfaces to br-lan, manually on the /etc/config/network file so clients can connect. But now it's not working. Actually the main ip stops working. Any ideas?

My config:


config interface 'loopback'
        option device 'lo'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
        option netmask '255.0.0.0'

config globals 'globals'

config device
        option name 'br-lan'
        option type 'bridge'
        list ports 'eth0'
        list ports 'eth1'
        list ports 'eth2'
        list ports 'lan1'
        list ports 'lan2'
        list ports 'lan3'
        list ports 'wan'
        list ports 'phy0.0-ap0'
        list ports 'phy0.1-ap0'
        list ports 'phy0.2-ap0'

config interface 'lan'
        option device 'br-lan'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '192.168.0.111'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option ip6assign '60'
        option gateway '192.168.0.1'
        list dns '192.168.0.1'

Even using a virgin install and configuring a simple wifi interface, my phone cannot connect. Times out. Tried from a laptop and showed a bad password error. I made sure i inserted the right one.

I tried 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands on radio0 and radio1 respectively. hostapd was running.

Not sure if this matters, but on logread, the log entries for dhcp requests were showing up a bit too late.

EDIT: I was using wpa3-sae for auth.

rmandrad · November 28, 2024, 6:08am

try sae-mixed for radio 0 & 1 .. you may also try to forget on your phone the password and re-enter the pw

frollic · November 28, 2024, 6:15am

mixed is something a lot of devices have issues with...

danpawlik · November 28, 2024, 9:28am

That commit from mediatek feed with title Update Filogic 880/860 MLO pre-release seems to be very interesting. It also include new firmware for mt7996.

rmandrad · November 28, 2024, 1:09pm

were you ever able to compile their branch ?

rmandrad · November 28, 2024, 1:27pm

first impressions are good (radio0,1,2)

however radio2 throughput still sucks whereas radio1

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but how can I use 320MHz @6GHz in Germany? Maybe adjust the hostapd file?

this seems to be related with DE not supporting 320MHz ... does it work if you set it to 160MHz ?

iw reg get

will tell you what is the support for DE after you set the reg to DE

iw reg set DE

marci227 · November 28, 2024, 3:27pm

yes it works with 160MHz.
But 320MHz should be allowed indoor:
