Does OpenWRT 23.05.5 on TP-Link EAP245 v3 Support fq-pie?

For Developers

Hello,

I’m using OpenWRT 23.05.5 (r24106-10cc5fcd00) on a TP-Link EAP245 v3 router, and I’m interested in using the fq-pie queue discipline for traffic management. However, I’m unable to get it working.

Details:

  • Router Model: TP-Link EAP245 v3 (also EAP265 HD v1)
  • Architecture: Qualcomm Atheros QCA956X v1 (ath79/generic)
  • Firmware: OpenWRT 23.05.5 r24106-10cc5fcd00
  • Kernel Version: 5.15.167
  • LuCI Version: LuCI openwrt-23.05 branch (git-24.264.56413-c7a3562)

When I try to add fq-pie as a queue discipline using tc, I get the error:
Error: Specified qdisc kind is unknown.

I’ve tried checking if the module is available with modprobe, but it seems that the sch_fq_pie module is not found.

Can someone confirm if fq-pie is supported in the current OpenWRT kernel for this router model? If not, are there any plans to support it, or would I need to rebuild OpenWRT with it enabled?

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response.

One more question: I did follow up on the following page, and before installing kmod-sched-fq-pie I didn't see "pie" in the queue discipline tab. After installing it, it does appear in that tab, but I was confused about which queue setup script I need to use; all the scripts provided seem to be meant for codel and cake. Is there any additional package I need to download from opkg containing the setup script for fq_pie?

You want a script? The fq-pie support is optional. Act like a man, read the manual and start typing commands...

I didn't asked for one. Just trying to know whether the script exist or not.

Well FYI, I already did that.

Thanks for your support :slight_smile:
