Has anyone gotten the Mediatek wifi to work reliably? If yes could you post your configuration?
I'm not even trying with 5G and I can only get it to work if I select a channel. And even then it will stop accepting connections after a while. I'm currently using a snapshot from May 5th.
Can I see your boot log? I've noticed a bug where EEPROM doesn't load correctly causing random wifi mac address + kernel panic
Of course, here it is:

I just made a patch and tested it on my r6220. Here is the build if you
want to give it a go.
http://serverside.host/LEDE/r6220/
when set wifi channel to auto the ssid will disappear
Can you post your patch ?
@realopty thanks for the patch but I still see the same errors in the log:

Yeah for some reason the offset of the EEPROM is fluctuating. I would take the patch above and modify the factory partition offset to fix the issue
@laktak
Your eeprom "emulation" partition is not found.
Please check with hexdump in the factory partition if
0x7662 or 0x7612 is found on 512 bytes boundaries.
Note about endianess, so you should see
0x62 0x76 in memory
in DTS of R6220
pcie0 {
mt76@0,0 {
reg = <0x0000 0 0 0 0>;
device_type = "pci";
mediatek,mtd-eeprom = <&factory 0x8000>;
ieee80211-freq-limit = <5000000 6000000>;
};
};
pcie1 {
mt76@1,0 {
reg = <0x0000 0 0 0 0>;
device_type = "pci";
mediatek,mtd-eeprom = <&factory 0x0000>;
ieee80211-freq-limit = <2400000 2500000>;
};
};
are the addresses for the eprom data.
Please dump these to check if this is valid.
Thanks but I don't really have an idea how to dump these.
The factory partition is /dev/mtd4? So I need to hexdump -x /dev/mtd4?
If yes, I see 6276 here:

Looks valid to me: at offset 0x0004 your MAC address is stored and at offert 0x8004 for the second wifi.
It starts with 50:6a:03 which is the OUI from Netgear.its a driver probleem, not something wrong with your flash.
I don't see address 00008000 when I hexdump -x /dev/mtd10:

The values at offset 0040000 looks valid for MT7603
Some other obstacle you have 22 partitions LEDE only 6 , why ??
Have you done a proper sysupgrade or only factoryupgrade ?
I was using the patch by @realopty, after going back to the snapshot release I'm back to 6 partitions (using sysupgrade).

mtd4: 00100000 00020000 "factory"
mtd5: 03c00000 00020000 "reserved"
But I still can't find the address in the hexdump of the factory partition, also it's rather short:
root@lede:~# hexdump -x /dev/mtd4
0000000 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff

Please try

I've change the offsets of /dev/mtd10
So now I'm curious, if I'm count correctly I see three different flash layouts.
I have two R6220 flash same fireware patched your patch but got diff result
one is

can got the right mac
second is

and the second one , I change dts file to
factory: partition@2e00000 {
label = "factory";
reg = <0x2e00000 0x100000>;
read-only;
};
to
can got the right mac
one model have two diff flash layouts ?
