Hi, my compilation from @bitthief's repo ends with errors:
make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/patrik/Documents/AX6/NSS_02/openwrt/package/kernel/mac80211'
time: package/kernel/mac80211/regular/compile#119.67#11.50#92.90
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/patrik/Documents/AX6/NSS_02/openwrt'
make[1]: *** [package/Makefile:110: /home/patrik/Documents/AX6/NSS_02/openwrt/staging_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_musl/stamp/.package_compile] Error 2

make: *** [/home/patrik/Documents/AX6/NSS_02/openwrt/include/toplevel.mk:231: world] Error 2
Does anyone know what could be the problem? Or does anyone have a compiled AX6 firmware with the nss and ath11k patch for 160MHz?
Thanks
those errors don't actually explain anything ... the true error will be before ... maybe look at the logs when the mac80211 compile starts ... you will see that patch applied or not (maybe the error is due to this patch)
dimfish builds versions from time to time, if you want you can grab it here: https://openwrt.admincomps.ru/nss/

Thanks a lot, yeah, I tried to figure out from the whole log with GPT-4 (quite an amazing tool when used for "auditing" and coding!), but I was just getting deeper and deeper into the errors instead of really solving it.
Anyway, thanks!
In the end, I think I will not be able to use AX6 for my purpose anyway (wlan relay). AX6 simply does not connect to the AP. I suppose it is the unresolved issue with the kernel version when AX6 is not compatible with the new kernel (or ath11k or regulations).
Well, still not able to use the 5G radio in a client mode, only the 2.4G one.
When I try to ping the main router, I mostly get 5/5 packets lost, sometimes 30% lost, other times something like this:
PING 192.168.15.1 (192.168.15.1): 56 data bytes

5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 14.558/1967.617/3956.082 ms
When I have a main OpenWrt router and my AX6 is connected to the main one via client mode. It seems connected, the secondary router shows connection with
Signal / Noise
-78/-108 dBm
Tx / Rx Rate
48.0 Mbit/s, 20 MHz / 2594.2 Mbit/s, 160 MHz, HE-MCS 6, HE-NSS 4
Which is already suspicious (why is Tx not on 160 MHz (HE160) as well?).
The main router shows this at AX6
Signal / Noise
-78/-92 dBm
Tx / Rx Rate
6.0 Mbit/s, 20 MHz / 6.0 Mbit/s, 20 MHz
There is something really weird with the 5GHz radio on the AX6 (btw, it is OpenWrt - stock fw works alright)
Even when I scan channels, I get this on the main router:
and this on the Redmi AX6
If HE160 worked again after the patch, I would expect it to show the whole width on the scan like the main router did. Or am I missing something?
Not sure why, but I'm experiencing lots of partial transfers for SSL connections after flashing the 20230329 @dimfish build. Is anyone experiencing something similar?
Hello,
I have a AX3600 and want to try NSS.

But there is no nssifb device.
root@ap1:~# ip link set up nssifb
ip: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
What's wrong here?
Is nss useable with AX3600?

you need to modprobe the nssifb module first before you you bring the link up
root@ap1:~# modprobe nssifb
failed to find a module named nssifb
root@ap1:~#
the module name is nss_ifb
It seems that there are no modules named like ifb:

Same here, doing git clone of big repo or similar long running transfer over HTTPS drops connection now and then. I have 1Gbit optical connection, so this should not be issue.
also i got some issues with ssl connections(cloning repos, fetching files via curl or wget got some troubles)
but problem only appears to me with ethernet connection it works fine with wireless
for example wget or curl can't finish this download link https://downloads.sourceforge.net/lzmautils/xz-5.4.2.tar.bz2
@rmandrad I'm about to move from ax3600 to qnap 301w. I don't know how the components of the 301w are different from the ax3600. Could you please share the config file you used for compiling?
so, there are not many differences
replace CONFIG_TARGET_ipq807x_generic_DEVICE_xiaomi_ax3600=y with CONFIG_TARGET_ipq807x_generic_DEVICE_qnap_301w=y
replace CONFIG_PACKAGE_ipq-wifi-xiaomi_ax3600 with CONFIG_PACKAGE_ipq-wifi-qnap_301w=y
select CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-phy-aquantia=y
you don't need ath10k with the qnap (as i remember the ax3600 has it)
