Installing kmod-macvlan on CUDY 3000S

Installing and Using OpenWrt

24.10.1 installed

Hi all
I am trying to connect to my ISP using the wan port and am not having any success so far

My ISP uses pppoe and a vlan to connect and I have configured /etc/config/network as follows

config device
        option name 'eth0.xxx'  # VLAN ID 100 (replace with your ISP's VLAN)
        option type '8021q'
        option ifname 'eth0'

config interface 'wan'
        option device 'eth0.xxx'
        option proto 'pppoe'
        option username '123456@xxxxxonline'  # Replace with ISP credentials
        option password 'ppppppppppppp'
        option mtu '1492'
        option macaddr 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'  # Replace with ISP router MAC
        option ipv6 'auto'
        list dns '8.8.8.8'  # Set preferred DNS servers
        list dns '8.8.4.4'

root@OpenWrt:/tmp# opkg install /tmp/kmod*

This the error message:
Unknown package 'kmod-macvlan'.
Collected errors:
 * pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for kmod-macvlan found, but incompatible with the architectures configured
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-macvlan.

kmod-macvlan_6.6.86-r1_aarch64_generic.ipk is the package that I attempted to install

Any help will be greatly appreciated and while I'm at it....a very big thank you to all the developers and supporters for this great piece of software

What's the source of the package ?

I don't see and understand why you would need MACVLAN for your pppoe (with vlan or not) connection.

What MACVLAN does: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/10/22/introduction-to-linux-interfaces-for-virtual-networking#macvlan

My thinking is that the ISP is checking MAC address on wan i/f when allocating a dhcp public address

5

Then just set the Mac address on the wan interface... But MACVLAN Kernel module is not needed for that.

Well this is odd. I downloaded that .ipk package from the Openwrt repository just last night and noticed that it was for 24.10.1 (kernel 6.6.86) and so then installed snapshot to upgrade from 24.10. I now cannot find this ,ipk package in the repo's ???

Well, you don't need it, so :slight_smile:

Why it's not there, I have no idea ..

Thank you for that _bernd. Given that the module did not install, I am back to my original config in my op and this fails to connect. Is the syntax correct for assigning the ISP's MAC address (on their supplied router) to the wan i/f on the CUDY 3000S?
