No problem with the installation 18.06.1.
However... no wireless. Neither in LuCI, nor via ssh.
Doing ssh, first thing that surprised me was the root prompt,
root@OpenWrt while the two other recent routers I upgraded (same version) have
root@LEDE.
uname -a gives the correct Linux OpenWrt 4.14.63 #0 SMP Thu Aug 16 07:51:15 2018 mips GNU/Linux though.
List of
/etc/config doesn't include wireless.
lsmod of modules didn't show any of the mediatek drivers.
So, installed kmod-mt76 (+ reboot).
Now I see only one radio,
ls -l /sys/devices/pci0000:00 shows only 0000:00:00.0/ (no 0000:00:01.0/)
This brings a few remarks / questions, if you don't mind [ provided the problem is not on my side, either something I should have done, or something I shouldn't have... ]
Should this router be in the supported list as is
Is there any way to get the radios x 2 working or ...
would it be better to simply compile a fresh version?
@musashino Thank you for your hard work on this new router, that will certainly help future developments.
(the 4 pins (right side, top photo) are likely serial connectors).
However, was surprised to see that router included in the supported list while it does not have a single wifi function working. Sure it can act as a switch, a router, a firewall etc... but...
Anyway, that's on me, jumped to quickly on the first affordable and quickly available router in the list without reading the table headers (unsupported stuff). Learned something!
[ and learned something else trying to restore the original fw via mtd since it's bricked now... next time I'll check the file 32 bytes header first.... that's the reason I'm interested in the 4 pins likely-UART... (if I find my ftdi serial-usb interface hidden somewhere in the closet!). for the time being, a tcpdump on the LAN side doesn't show anything, even pressing a button, reset ... completely dead it seems ]
Yes, they are serial pins and orderd Vcc, GND, TX and RX from ethernet port side.
IMO, OpenWrt is based on wlan routers, but not only for it. Wired routers and others are also supported in this project.
In WRC-1167GHBK2-S, it's supported as "OpenWrt" system including Linux Kernel and each packages. It's just we cannot use the wlan of a number of functions.
However, it is certainly better to have a mechanism to make it easy to know that wireless can not be used despite being a wireless router.
Hello!
Thanks for your excellent work!
May I ask a question? It seems like this driver [https://github.com/hanwckf/mt7615] works with Phicomm K2P, which has MT7615DN too. So now I am wondering if it is possible to port this driver in the future, because I just got a wrc-1167ghbk2-s.
