Hey everyone!
Is there anything I can do top help?
Veery interested in this.
I once saw the Marvell developer saying that the issue was with the hardware fast path on the 88W8964, whatever that means, don't know if it helps.
Thanks for your work!

Hello @all.
I would like to propose a new version of the driver.
=> next3 branch
Sorry if it takes a while, but the longest thing is to identify where the bugs are coming from.
With this version, I'm pretty sure of the job.
The fixes are mainly for the WRT1900X and WRT1200AC.
It contains:
- AMPDU Optimization of priority calculation.
- 8864/8897 fix wpa3
- Add cypher suite to driver capabilities
- Alignment of pcie_tx_ctrl*
- "feature" normalization for all chips
- Add modprobe parameters
- fix monitoring
- Code separation by chipset
- dump_prob decommissioning
- fix amsdu high ping latency
- drop debug info in hostcmd_get_hw_spec()
- Add wcb_base in debug info (8864)
- Rewrite AMSDU packets
- debug rewrite output mwl_debugfs_sta_read
- Improved encryption interoperability
- factorization encrypted packet test
- Change 88W8864 firmware to 7.2.9.27
- Fix the AMPDU session lifecycle
- Remove the tx done packets mechanism
I'm not going to detail all the commits, please read their content.
If you want to test, it's available in the testing/next3 branch.

I’ve got this latest driver from next3 branch running on my WRT3200 for a few hours now. Everything is running great so far with no issues.

Could you provide us with a step by step guide on how to install this on our routers, I can test it on my WRT3200ACM.
Hello @Andredpe,

Hello,
Good news, we're going to push the merge request, pesa1234 also validates on its side.

does it work with snapshot kernel 6.1?
Hello,
Normally, yes, but you have to compile in order to get the package.
Check with @pesa1234, I think he has one available.

great, is this the patch file ready to use?
https://github.com/jbsky/mwlwifi/raw/testing/next3/openwrt/patches_23.05/005-mac80211_update.patch
This is the patch for version 23.05.0, I don't know if this one is complete for the snapshot.
Yes, perfectly use patches for 6.1 to compile jbsky/mwlwifi next3 branch

Could you provide me with a build already compiled with these drivers? Don't be surprised, I don't have a PC to compile
Dear, I don't understand how do you have the 6.1 kernel on mvebu without compiling...
But anyway these are the package for kernel 6.1.62 chip 8864--> https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WEbOv6vf_pt_wkxk2_7FaDK94tD5IAun?usp=drive_link
It looks like the pull request was merged today.
I've been running this for over 5 days since v23.05.2 came out and it seems stable on my WRT32X. Does this need more testing? Since I've been compiling my own versions, I have a branch ready for a pull request for the 23.05 branch if it's ready.

when will the new merge will push into openwrt snapshot?
I can put in a pull request to put it into snapshot. I just made a branch with the commits and am running a test build now.
Hello @trinidude4,
Thank you for initiating the merge request.
But, your merge request is closed.
Is it deliberate not to finish the job?
Best regards,
Jbsky
