ehi can't we push this patch to trunk?
Which patch?
sqm and wps buttom
sqm interface setting is router-specific, so it can't be pushed to trunk (master) in a way that would suit all routers. The package feed repo has eth1 as the default interface for SQM and that is right for some routers.
A bit similar for the WPS button changes.
Those kind of tweaks are part of the reasons, why these "community builds" are useful.
can't we change the dts file? so that is similat to the stock router?
Does anyone else have issues in that it takes an extremely long time for lede to boot on the r7800? It takes almost 5 min. Is that normal?
Does not sound normal to me. (if you are talking about a normal reboot)
Yes. I'm talking about just a normal reboot. Hmm.
@hnyman i build a custom image with this compilation flag
-O2 -pipe -mcpu=cortex-a15 -marm -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -ftree-vectorize
it keeps crashing after i try to enter luci any idea why ?
No.
And as that has nothing to do with my build, please either open an own thread about that, or discuss it in the R7800 exploration thread.
I made a test build with a possible fix for wifi performance problems with kernel 4.9:
lede-r5442-b0b289ea45-20171202-pcie-0071-fix-test
lede-r5448-deaf9597c6-20171206-pcie-0071-fix-test
The fix is being discussed in R7800 exploration thread:

actually it's not a possible... it's a fix... i use that patch from yesterday and no crash no problem... got max speed for my connection
Please see my iperf3 testing in 'Netgear R7800 Exploration' thread.
This fixed my speed issues as well.
What's up with the ping issues by the way? I've noticed that stock firmware has less ping spikes compared to LEDE. Not really too sure why this is. But this has been the case at least since r3560 (first flash of LEDE on my R7800).
I've posted images showing the difference.
- Test client is an ASUS PCE-AC88 WiFi adapter (Driver ver. 1.558.48.8)
- Test client is connected via the 5G band for both firmwares
- Power saving mode is disabled for the client
- Stock firmware V1.0.2.38 vs. LEDE firmware r3600-d77fe9219a
- Test period is approximately 4 minutes of pings to www.google.com using IPv6
- Both firmwares were flashed correctly and cleanly prior
Notice on the LEDE firmware the drastically increased ping times for all routes.

Openwrt/LEDE merge is apparently finally progressing and the LEDE source code has got OpenWrt branding during the last few days. Thus the newest LEDE build is branded as "OpenWrt".
Hello,
installed the new build r5486. It seems to be incompatible with the current strongswan-full package on the repo, even though the kernel version seems to match (uname -r: 4.9.67). When installing strongswan-full I get
Collected errors: satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for strongswan-full: kernel (= 4.9.67-1-ae0421b18b8b2c40290ad677901ace4d)
Also installing it with --force-depends doesn't work. Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks!
There is strict kernel version & options checksum logic for packages that require kernel features. In general, if you want to install kernel packages into private builds, you need to compile the modules into the firmware image itself.
(right now there may be also other fallout from the Openwrt/LEDE branchding changes, but this is likely not about that,)
on last 2 builds I cant get 5ghz wifi up
keep seeing these errors
