Hey @lifo,
RE: Chuwi Larkbox X 2023
Did you ever get the wifi working? I'm on OpenWRT 23.05.3, installed the iwlwifi drivers but still cant see the wifi adapter using hwinfo or lspci. wifi config does nothing.
any advice would be appreciated
I'm hoping to use this and Docker to process images from a POE camera and need to connect to a WiFi AP
Cheers
You will need to explicitly install the required kmod- and firmware- packages for your included WLAN card, as well as wpad-basic-mbedtls (or better). Be aware, the card will be dual-band, but not concurrent dual-band - and Intel WLAN cards are useless in AP mode (2.4 GHz only, with some more quirks).
I can try but I only see iwlwifi-firmware-ax200 and iwlwifi-firmware-ax210 packages available.
So which driver did you installed?
Cheers for the replies.
This is the first time I've messed with OpenWRT so I am a bit clueless 
I installed PopOS on a live CD to expand the root partition and to get info about the WiFi card details. I can confirm that I could connect to WiFi this way and the PopOS driver works. Below is the output with the WiFi card lshw.
I've installed wpad-basic-mbedtls as mentioned above (cheers) and then tried both the ax200 and ax210 drivers seperately
when I type hwinfo in opwnWRT terminal I have these few lines re wifi
<6>[ 4.752188] Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux
<6>[ 4.754562] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
<3>[ 4.758568] iwlwifi: No config found for PCI dev 54f0/0244, rev=0x370, rfid=0x10c000
<4>[ 4.761654] iwlwifi: probe of 0000:00:14.3 failed with error -22
Not sure what to try next
Cheers again
I see it only in the master branch https://pkgs.staging.openwrt.org/packages?name=iwlwifi-firmware-ax101&branch=master&repo=&arch=x86_64&origin=&maintainer=
My guess is you will need to wait the next minor release (?)
should be available in the snapshots.
Your're all legends. Will give the snapshot version a go and let ye know how I go. Cheers
UPDATE:
It looks like its detecting the card now. Will try to set it up again properly in the coming days. Cheers again
I can confirm that using the snapshot got everything as expected. I had to install the following to:
opkg install nas wpa-supplicant fuse-overlayfs iwlwifi-firmware-ax101 luci luci-ssl dockerd docker-compose luci-app-dockerman kmod-macvlan pciutils hwinfo resize2fs fdisk kmod-iwlwifi parted lsblk wipefs nano block-mount e2fsprogs
Cheers again for the advice.
How's the wifi performance ?
Can't get it to work. I thought it was the settings but I managed to find an old wifi-n dongle with supported drivers and that worked straight away. I'm getting the following errors in iwlwifi through DMESG

I have the following in the wifi settings
but for love not money I can't get it to connect. Ive tried:
The ax101 card can detect nearby wifi networks and tries to connect then defines an associated station, which disappears after 2seconds. I then get the error messages above.
With the realtek card the associated station remains and I can connect to the internet with no issues and no LAN connection to the main router.
Any ideas?
Sadly there's (normally) no point of trying to shoehorn WLAN cards on x86_64 at all, not because it's not possible, but for many reasons:
Yes, there may be reasons to do this nevertheless (e.g. for development purposes), but it's not cheap.
…the situation for client-mode WLAN is obviously different (cards a much cheaper - and you only need a single one).
I appreciate all the advice.
Luckily I only need wifi in client mode and am going to try the following USB wifi device for now
At the end of the day what I'm hoping to achieve is:
I have this already working using a Raspberry Pi but I figured that OpenWRT on an x86 Alder Lake N100 would:
it might work as a wirless client, but probably not as an AP.
Saw that Panda device yesterday but couldn't find one for sale in Australia :(. Amazon could send from the US but it would take 2wks and with import duties etc I can't justify the expense 
.
Looks like a great device
you should probably read the whole thread 
oops
No, don't please skip Realtek chipset, OpenWrt current release uses 5.15 LTS which has no support with all those Realtek WiFi at all, I have plenty of them at home, with desktop linux distro of course you can play with DKMS to install driver for your kernel but this is not the case of OpenWrt, from what I know some of them only in kernel after v6.2
RPi can boot from USB so USB flash drive/SSD are commonly used, for router speed doesn't really matter. If it does matter then Samsung FitPlus, Lexar JumpDrive S47 are your good friend (my SBC desktop using them as boot drive, small footprint but very fast)
Storage/RAM probably doesn't matter when you use it as router?
RPi has all-in-one metal case which is really great (but yes no dual LAN).
Not sure what security settings you are talking about here, both are OpenWrt and they should be the same?
