Build for Linksys EA9500

Hello Everyone!

After long days of testing the assembly from Hurrian, I found that the brcmfmac driver for all Linux distributions is limited, and many things that work in the original firmware cannot be run in open source projects.

Now to the point!

I managed to create a Three-Band Wifi network! YES!

Spending my hours looking for a solution to the problem of how to create one SSID for all three (radio0,1,2) channels, I came across a forum here on Raspberry 3 B+, where I also found a problem when I turned on 802.11r

It turned out that the brcmfmac driver is not able (yet) to work with the WPA2 PSK ONLY + 802.1r, it wants mixed mode!

For 802.1r to work, you need to change Encryption to mixed WPA / WPA2 PSK, then everything starts working! You can also enable 802.1w.

After that, I created 3 AP with the same SSID + the same Encryption + the same password + and two ticks 802.1r and 802.1w.

And it works!

I hope this will help everyone!
