@danpawlik @bluewavenet .. I got around to fixing the mac assignment (has been broke for sometime) I you don't mind testing and leaving some feedback for the pr that would be helpful.
qualcommax: ipq5018: glinet-gl-b3000: fix dts nvmem macs #20664
cheers
I read through this thread last night - thanks so much to @Hostle and the rest for managing to port OpenWRT to the B3000. I bought this to act as a wired backhaul AP to extend my home network to discover that stock gl.inet firmware doesn't really handle multiple SSIDs and VLAN capabilities so am tearing my hair out (want to broadcast a 2.4GHz and 5GHz main on VLAN1, IoT 2.4GHz on 20, guest 2.4GHz on 30)
I have tried using the FIrmware Selector tool to load a nightly build with the default suggested packages. I can't work out from the published Github repo whether the .img files there have say, Luci, or are barebones (e.g. the rc3 file).

and it returns a huge string of errors.

Does anyone have a prebuilt, ready to load .bin file for the 'average Joe' to flash?
I can build you one, what packages do you require ?
EDIT
Just checked the firmware selector and its working fine from here,
select factory ...
and a few seconds later ..
you may want to try it again 
Wow, that was incredibly stupid of me. What a great start to the forum!
I cliced customize installsed packaged and/or first boot script, saw all the options and assumed you had to then click 'request build' at that point to request a 'customized' build.
I'll download the Factor file and flash it now. Thanks.
So, following those instructions, downloaded the factory build....it doesn't have Luci or any of those packages, which is what I was looking for. I can SSH into the router but can't access any web interface.
Please can you build me one? I guess the only package I can think of that I need is Luci - I am not great with command-line work, but if you can suggest any other useful packages that an interested home user might need (plan is to use this as a dumb AP as described above) I would be grateful.
luci should be included ... but i can whip you one up and post a link.
That would be awesome - thank you.
Sorry for the delay ... some recent changes triggered a full rebuild of the toolchain .. to that point, has anyone else noticed the compile size has increased again by nearly 1mb ?? This exact same build 1 week ago weighed in at 18.25mb ... today's it weighs 19.5mb
Anyhow, here is the link to the img. The build sheet is included
openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-glinet_gl-b3000-squashfs-factory.img
Let me know if you have any problems or need help getting it flashed from cmd line
Cheers
