I built kmod-usb--serial-ch341 from the main branch but it is not compatible with Kong builds. In retrospect, it is not a surprise as the kernel version is different from the main branch. I saw that Kong had released a new version on Jul 24th, but this kernel module is still not in his repository. I don't know what else to do :worried:

Compile his build from source and include the kernel-module.

I just checked you can simply enable it under: kernel modules/USB

I am compiling now, next time I can include building that module :slight_smile:

597

Ah, I need a link to his source. Can you please post a link to it?

Thanks

A few minutes ago I updated my R7800 from the release 23.05/ipq806x-nss from May 2nd to the release from August 5th.

I would like to use my DDNS alias and the port shares internally as well. To do this, I wrote ifconfig br-lan promisc in rc.local a few years ago.

This no longer seems to be sufficient since the update. Do you have an idea why it doesn't work?

I'm having the same issue.

I finally got around to compiling the kernel module but I don't know which branch to target. git branch -a output:

  • master
    remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
    remotes/origin/armor-g5
    remotes/origin/kernel5.10-nss-qsdk11.0
    remotes/origin/kernel5.4-nss-qsdk10.0
    remotes/origin/lede-17.01
    remotes/origin/master
    remotes/origin/openwrt-18.06
    remotes/origin/openwrt-19.07
    remotes/origin/openwrt-21.02
    remotes/origin/openwrt-23.05-nss-qsdk11

I am on the 23.05 non-NSS build from Kong. I don't see the non-NSS build here.

I have the same problem. Homeserver is not reachable from inside the network with url.

@KONG Am I able to install 23.05 NSS build on top of non-NSS build I have currently installed (latest one on your website) and retain all configuration please? Is there a way how to do this properly?

I installed 23.05 non-NSS build from scratch few months back (reset and clean flash) and configured it - nothing complex, all fine but took 2 days for me. Guest network and wireguard/pbr one and few bits and pieces here and there (extender network), works wonderfully, thank you for the n-th time. I would like to retain all my current config on NSS build - but unsure if I have to start from scratch, or if some crucial firewall rules (few custom) or wireguard routing / pbr will 100% work as it is working now. Is reset recommended when going from non-NSS to NSS?

Please advise.

604

You should be able to flash it without a reset and use your existing config.
