Thank You! Hope they will fix this soon and we will have finaly our dreamrouter.
Thank you, great to see all 3 WIFI radios working.
The 2 and 6GHz are working great, though the 5GHz performance is not performing well.
any numbers to share?
Here is a screenshot from my setup to give a quick impression.
(don't get confused by the WiFi7 label - adapter is instead capable to work in WiFi6 mode only right now)

try with my hostapd repo (that uses the latest hostpad from their main repo - v2.12-devel)

Hi,
issue is not on compiling clean hostapd, problem is on applying some patches from OpenWRT like patch or patch .
For example, even when I change in package/network/services/hostapd/Makefile to yours repo, more patches will fail. Only one that is close to OpenWRT to apply patches is from xback, but two of them are failing. I was trying to fix them, but not enough knowledge to do that.
I don't want to ping nbd, but he is an author of those patches and I think he is very busy right now, so maybe let's be patient.
you need to use the patches that are on xback repo and everything else including the Makefile. after this edit the Makefile and point it to my repo
do a make target/linux/clean package/cleanup before starting to build

note that as I said previously /lib/netifd/mac80211.sh will need to change to add 11be to the hostpad conf alongside other be parameters & files ... and luci finally ...
hm, compilation works locally. Good job!
Triggered clean build, just with luci and newer hostapd - https://github.com/danpawlik/openwrt-builder/actions . What change in /lib/netifd/mac80211.sh you are talking about?

currently it doesn't support adding things like this
# IEEE 802.11be (WiFi 7) configuration
ieee80211be=1
# eht_su_beamformer: EHT single user beamformer support
#eht_su_beamformer=1
# eht_su_beamformee: EHT single user beamformee support
#eht_su_beamformee=1
# eht_mu_beamformer: EHT multiple user beamformer support
eht_mu_beamformer=1
nor supports capabilities like 320 MHz ...
the mac80211.sh generates the hostapd.conf that luci runs with

Aha, now I get it.
TBH I'm on the holidays and I also want to rest my head.
I will watch the thread, but don't want to make more changes (right now).
Edit: new build with be14 233 firmware + luci + hostapd from @xback and @rmandrad is available here

Thanks one more time and have a nice time

I just flashed the SD Card image as well and have luci. It's HTTP instead of HTTPS, but that was my only issue.
I'm not at home, I can not check current build now, but according to config.buildinfo, luci is there. This is very minimalist build, you need to customize package later or just create your own GitHub workflows.

Great Job @danpawlik & @rmandrad
you are heroes ... 
I will test this build on my board which is using 4G/5G modems ,,,,,,
thanks for the work;
the newest release luci + hostapd - be14-and-hostapd - 2024-08-30 i believe breaks wifi 5Ghz (at least stock/on default tested)
(working in previous release)
2.4G works fine.
The problem was samsung sd card, can't write to it, delete partitions etc... Had one sandisk spare, works like a charm, but how to write to emmc flash on the board?
note you will be able to use the phy2 (radio2) using the standalone hostapd for 11be
1.disable the radio2 (on luci or manually)
2. iw phy phy2 interface add wlan2 type station
3. hostapd ./
you can use this config file as a starting point

@danpawlik can you please tell me what changes I need to do on the Openwrt master to make a build with support for the BE14 card?
I want to build my own image instead of relying on the one you are supplying as I need to add some custom stuff to it.
many thanks.
