In one command:
$ git clone https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git -b openwrt-18.06
On the latest 18.06 still unable to get both wifi radios working. I can get the 2.4GHz to work using the below config, but 5GHz, while showing up as a radio, will not broadcast, only produces the error when I go to enable it:
Invalid sysfs path read for net/tmp.radio1
In my .dts file I have the following
&pcie {
status = "okay";
pcie0 {
mt76@2,0 {
reg = <0x0000 0 0 0 0>;
device_type = "pci";
mediatek,mtd-eeprom = <&factory 0x8000>;
ieee80211-freq-limit = <2400000 2500000>;
};
};
pcie1 {
mt76@0,0 {
reg = <0x0800 0 0 0 0>;
device_type = "pci";
mediatek,mtd-eeprom = <&factory 0x0000>;
ieee80211-freq-limit = <5000000 6000000>;
};
};
};
Open to suggestions. Still not sure about the recent changes to the .dtsi files, or PCI driver. Does anyone know which part of this config specifies the sysfs path?
18.06 has no pci or DTS changes
Thanks @neheb, I have looked at the branches and seen the difference. Testing again on master. Does that mean I really don't need to have reg = <nnn>; in the .dts, since it is already specified in the .dtsi?
It's needed. That faulty patch removing all the reg entries was reverted.
Interesting. Then should it match up to what is in the .dtsi file? For example reg = <0x0000 0 0 0 0>; for pcie0, and reg = <0x0800 0 0 0 0>; for pcie1?
no i douibt it
Could I catch you on IRC sometime to ask you some questions about this?
I'm always on IRC
running 1806 on zbt-we1326 here and both wifi radio work, though 2.4Ghz performance is very very weak(sometimes 1Mbps?), 5G is better(40+Mbps), still far from what 11ac can provide, at least both radios are up, need do more performance testing
using stock firmware 2.4Ghz is much better(6x better), it runs an older version of openwrt(BB), mt76 still has lots of catch up to do at the moment as far as performance and stability goes(new mt76 loses connection sometimes too)
Hi,
compiled 18.06 late last week on my WE1326 with 7603/7612 wireless.
OpenWrt 18.06-SNAPSHOT r7108-dba362772e / LuCI openwrt-18.06 branch (git-18.163.60998-c379f00)
Comment: seems to run reasonably reliably. The router is used in a domestic situation, running off an Australian NBN Wireless modem. Not a very highly stressed usage, but everything appears to be working well.
I will re-compile when the source gets updated again, then load my other router, a 3526.
Thanks to the developers,
regards, Doug
Can you post /proc/interrupts output?
Hi,
sorry for the delay. Hope this is what you want:

running zbt1326 + 1806rc1 here with a few PCs, 2.4Ghz is pretty bad and disconnection happens a few times a day(I had to buy a tplink C7 today so we can at least have a reasonable good 2.4G network). have you stress tested your 2.4Ghz? I'm losing confidence on mt76/2.4Ghz with mt7603e chip at least, which this router, and xiaomi mifi 3G both use.
What's a good method to stress test the wireless?
I've tried the openwrt-18.06-rc2 image on a TP-Link RE350 today and noticed that the 5Ghz interface is missing.
Dmesg output: https://pastebin.com/5Lms2esB
Any ideas?

I pulled the main repository down yesterday, & got an error during compile. Not sure if that is related.
(pulled down from github).
My current WG3526 has Lede 18.06 that I compiled about a week ago. Everything runs, but for some reason the throughput is really slow. (Hence I was thinking of moving back to 17.01.5)
I am not an expert at this & just bumble along.....
regards, Doug

Can you comment on current state of WE1326. Did you ever got the 5ghz radio to work on it after?
I raised an issue on github
