iKoolCore R2 Max has an OpenWrt fork ... anyone know if the source is public?

Hardware Questions and Recommendations

Seems like the R2 Max would be a nice 4-port 2.5 GbE/10 GbE fanless (N150) option. They have a fork of OpenWrt. I could not find a public facing git repo. Does anyone know of one? There is KoolCore on github but no OW fork.

Also wondering which kernel module is needed for the pair of Marvell AQC113C-B1-C 10Gbps NICs it comes with. Searching suggests kmod-atlantic which is consistent with the config they are showing for their OW images. Can anyone confirm?

EDIT: they have a nice detailed wiki on the hardware too.

In theory, you could buy their product and request a copy of the source code, although in modern times that would mean an online repo, easier for everyone. But don't count on it. Most of these companies just surf on OpenWrt's brand recognition to curry your favour.

Marvell acquired Aquantia, and AQC113 is well supported AFAIK.

Thanks for the reply. I emailed their general support address asking but figured someone reading this may know as well.

Atlantic driver seems the right pick:

Agreed. I could also be making a flawed assumption that they forked/modified the project. They could simply be providing a pre-built image with the needed drivers baked in.

They provide an OpenWrt buildroot config for download, so you can fairly easily find out if it's vanilla or not.

Here is their fork:

I am away from PC now but just scrolling through commits on mobile shows that they merged the 6.12 series of kernels.
