I finally made some efforts to patch the MT7628 mediatek code myself. How many clients you have connected for the driver to crash??
Are you making patches to the mt76 open-source driver of the proprietary MT7628 driver?
If your changes are on the mt76 open-source driver, would you mind sharing? I'm struggling with stability on the mt76 drivers as well.
What is the absolute latest kernel you can have running with proprietary mt76 drivers that runs stable?
@barhom, time will tell 
. Sofar, OpenWRT/LEDE is using kernel 4.9.77 and the proprietary drivers can be patched to run on that without problem. As long as you are happy to configure via the .DAT file or the plugin that was created. Once it runs, for most people its "set-it-and-forget-it".
@nossiac, did you ever get CFG80211 support to compile? It seems the source code should be "enough" as a base to get it working. There is even WPA_Supplicant and HOSTAPD support in the source, but it seems to me, never used.
@drbrains
Are there any instructions on how to get the drivers running on 4.9.77 for mt7603/mt7612?
I dont mind configuring via .DAT file or via any plugin.

Hello guys, I have tp link wr841n v13 with mt7628 and unuseable wifi, so I tried to include and compile @nossiac's driver. I believe I have done everything correctly, because I can now see mtk properties - drivers - and check mt7628 in make menuconfig, but once I flash the image, the router fails to boot. I have the router in warranty, so I have not tried to solder serial console to see what's going on, but I believe it must be kernel panic or something happening very soon, because power led does not even start to blink after reboot. When I uncheck @nossiac's driver and recompile, it boots fine. Is there something I can do to make it work? Btw. I tried both ways - via tftp and via sysupgrade, both with the same result.
Is there a way to install the MT76 driver with out compiling? I.e. through opkg?
@nossiac
hey,I got failed on my Xiaomi Mi WiFi Mini
here are my steps,please help me
Packages selected:
........................................
mt7620 mt7612 drivers in MTK properties
mtk-luci-plugin
Packages removed:
........................................
rt2x00
mt76
cfg80211
mac80211
wpad
supplicant
mtk-luci-plugin
.......................................................
To bring it up manually:
modprobe mt7620.ko
ifconfig ra0 up
( I also tried modprobe mt7612.ko ,ifconfig ra0i up,but neither work)
where is the problem?
thank you
found in firmware OEM for ZBTLINK Z100A ( wifi ax ) , CUDY X6 & also VICTURE RX1800 this:

Hi sorry for bringing this post back, I just don't know where to ask about this. Before I give up with this openwrt with proprietary driver firmware, I'm just wondering if is it possible to bridge the WIFI into let see VLAN22? I tried it on my side but I cannot seem to make it to work. Anyone who already tried bridging the WIFI to VLAN? All lan ports are working, just the wifi is not working with the bridge to vlan even on vlan 1.
By the way I am using Openwrt 22.03.3.
