Kernel upgrade openwrt 19.07, how?

Installing and Using OpenWrt
#1

I’m trying to upgrade all the packages because even though I have 802.11w enabled, it isn’t preventing deauths packets, so I decided to to first try updating the drivers, but I got the following message on one of them:

The installed version of package kernel is not compatible, require 4.14.158-1-0f59e902… while 4.14.156-1-0f59e902… is installed.

I’m on: OpenWrt 19.07-SNAPSHOT r10774-cde70954ef

Also is the kernel number which is lower the newer the kernel?

It is a very poor idea to upgrade packages in Openwrt, especially form a snapshot.

Install a new snapshot instead.

I would try installing full wpad and not wpad basic.

  • I agree with @PolynomialDivision - that for 802.11w , you'll need wpad (full) installed
  • To upgrade Kernels though, I agree with @Pilot6 - you'll need to upgrade the firmware

I went ahead and updated my bthub to the latest snapshot from here:

Now it’s just showing a solid red light. Is there a way to revert?

As your device state is a result of another firmware maker... please seek their input re: what actually happened first ( which involves some time for them to respond )...

Please update us when you find out what the verdict is...
