- [cherrypick] #14044: mwlwifi: update to version 10.4.10-20231120
huge mwlwifi update thanks to @jbsky
fixes amsdu and wpa3 (on 1900/1200) + many other improvements - drops amsdu patch
Been running for a few hours and happy with it 
wpa3 works without having sae_pwe in wireless config

Brings some improvements for 3200 too?
Check jbsky's changelog, you can see a few fixes for "all chips". But yea most of the fixes are for 1200/1900 series since that's where the problems were with amsdu, etc.
edit: he only fixed WPA3 for 1200/1900 as per the changelog, it's not fixed for 3200acm/32x as per his commit info: "Only 8964 left with broken WPA3."

Guess I could bring the 1900 out of storage and try it. Is it worth it? Or stick with the 3200 and wireless AP?
The only difference is WPA3 is fixed for the 1900. Other than connecting to WiFi in a slightly more secure way than WPA2, the 3200 is faster or on par in every other way.
Most networks still can't use WPA3 exclusively so it's moot anyway, since many devices still rely on WPA2 so you end up leaving both protocols enabled (on my U6+ I have both on).
My AP is a WAX620 and I have WPA3/WPA2 enabled. Only device uses WPA3 is my phone.
OK I'll stick with the 3200.
Thanks much!
Is disabling AMSDU still recommended for WRT32x/3200, or has this been fixed at some point along the way? Thanks
Disabling AMSDU has never been recommended for 32x/3200acm. It was only a latency issue on 1200/1900.
It's discussed here: [https://openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt_ac_series#latency_with_88w8864]

Don't need anymore echo 0 > ..... on 8864 from my test.
Just wanted to say "Thank you so much!" for helping keep this old hardware alive and useful. 
I just installed your latest 20231204-00 build on my previously-retired AC1900v2 so that I can get a better 2.4GHz wireless signal than my Belkin RT3200, which will now switch from being my main router into being a 5GHz access point instead.

@SkewedZeppelin,
Thanks for this and agree. Just got up and running this AM and its been a real nice improvement. I was stuck pretty far back in time due to some config conflicts that I could never resolve in builds after around April. Either something got fixed since or I cleaned something else up in my config and I'm running just fine on latest release.
Would you consider adding wget-ssl to your included packages? They dumbed down the standard wget package while back to shrink its size, but they tossed ssl/ssh functionality in the process.
I know I can (and do )just opkg install it, but I pull my auto config scripts to the router from a local lan server with wget/ssh. I have to manually install wget-ssl first before I can do any of that. And since its manual... I forget it often.
@joekane101
the "wget" included is uclient-fetch with openssl support
I just tested it enforcing correctly:
wget "https://sha256.badssl.com/"
Downloading 'https://sha256.badssl.com/'
Connecting to 104.154.89.105:443
Writing to 'index.html'
index.html 100% |*******************************| 498 0:00:00 ETA
wget "https://expired.badssl.com/"
Downloading 'https://expired.badssl.com/'
Connecting to 104.154.89.105:443
Connection error: Invalid SSL certificate
I'm not opposed to adding it, but is there something else missing that makes full wget needed?
hmm. Do you have a success case though for an ssl connection (not a fail case like )?
My scripts ran fine until the refactor of wget package on opwnwrt. Saw many references to the fact that you needed to add wget-ssl post refactor to get back the ssl support.
like here:
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/11534
or here:
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/ssl-support-in-openwrt-opkg-wget/99351
I suppose it may have been something else removed that broke me but once I do opkg install wget-ssl, everything works again.
I did not try on this fresh install though with the latest release to see if things works without wget-ssl (in event something has again changed in wget package).
