OpenWrt 19.07.7 service release

spaine · March 7, 2021, 4:24pm

5 Meraki MR24's all running smoothly for two weeks since upgrading to 19.07.7. Many thanks to devs!

Incidentally, to save a bit of time and avoid errors keeping this set of AP's upgraded, since 19.07.4 I've been following the scheme (thanks @cybermaus !) in

which works great to keep dnsmasq, firewall, and odhcpd disabled across upgrades. Looks like this on one of these AP's:

root@ap0:~# ls -l /etc/rc.d | grep disabled
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            18 Dec 31  1969 S19dnsmasq -> ../init.d/disabled
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            18 Dec 31  1969 S19firewall -> ../init.d/disabled
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            18 Dec 31  1969 S35odhcpd -> ../init.d/disabled
root@ap0:~# cat /etc/sysupgrade.conf 
## This file contains files and directories that should

# disabled across an upgrade:

/etc/rc.d/S19firewall
/etc/rc.d/S35odhcpd

Sysupgrade from 19.07.07 on TPLINK VR200
Everything good except wifi.
I run latest upgrades and
via opkg update; opkg install kmod-mt76x0e wpad-mini pciutils; reboot commands'
but There is no wifi settings under network. what I have to do additionally?

Upgraded TP-LINK Archer C2600 v1 from 18.06.8 to 19.07.7.

Backed up config from luci
Flashed openwrt-19.07.7-ipq806x-generic-tplink_c2600-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin in luci with [x] Save config after verifying checksum
Waited a few minutes until device came back online
Logged in as root by ssh
Updated package list with opkg update
Upgraded packages with opkg upgrade $(opkg list-upgradable | cut -d' ' -f1)
Installed packages with opkg install 6in4 acme acme-dnsapi ca-bundle ca-certificates ddns-scripts haproxy luci-app-acme luci-app-ddns luci-app-ntpc luci-app-uhttpd luci-ssl ntpclient openssl-util rsync wget
Rebooted with reboot
Waited for less than a minute
Watched web interface with luci tab using https:// with renewed ACME (Let's Encrypt) cert refreshed to give login prompt
Checked Status > Overview and saw all looked OK including my four Dynamic DNS services
Checked Network > Interfaces and saw my networks including HE.net IPv6 tunnel
Checked Network > Wireless and was prompted with

Wireless configuration migration
The existing wireless configuration needs to be changed for LuCI to function properly.
Upon pressing "Continue", anonymous "wifi-iface" sections will be assigned with a name in the form wifinet# and the network will be restarted to apply the updated configuration.

Pressed [Continue] and watched progress notification, then checked results
Reconnected my newer Android device, getting a 5 GHz link, and my older Android device, getting a 2.4 GHz link
Checked just about everything else including haproxy service and failed to find a single thing wrong

Yet again OpenWRT disappoints. A weekend of bricking, unbricking, reconfiguring from scratch, disconnecting myself and having to reset and start again is ruined. Now I will have to start messing with obscure and advanced settings in order to find something to break. First on the list: 802.11r.

AJCxZ0 · March 14, 2021, 12:19am

For a few moments I thought I had managed to break things with 802.11r on this and my Archer A7 v5, but it turned out that I had merely failed to read about the interfaces being briefly disabled for DFS / radar detection.

At first my sarcasm filter didn't kick in. Nicely done!

Nedaros · March 17, 2021, 10:53pm

Thanks @faruktezcan. This helped a lot.
Had to make some amendments as I had removed some base packages which caused an error plus spotted a typo (wahtdepends). Can post a diff file if you're interested.

faruktezcan · March 18, 2021, 12:57am

Please do so. Thanks.

Bobcat · March 18, 2021, 3:13am

Rather odd, moving from a very obsolete version and have such nasty comments about current version, as if trouble is business as usual...
Things that make you go Hummmmm !!!

Nedaros · March 18, 2021, 9:59am

Hope this helps. Apologies if format screwed (first time posting code!)

Perhaps you should open a thread specific to your script, this one is going to be old and outdated when a new release comes out, and it will be a shame to lose that information.

Just in general, the unified diff format (diff -u) is usually easier to read, especially longer term after other changes have introduced fuzz. diff -Nrup a/ b/ is usually the best set of options, quite similar to the git diff results.

hello, i have upgraded from 19.07.03 believe, im using r3g v1, im not able to update opkg, and right now im writing this comment from the device that i cant get opkg update (it says check your internet but its connected)

also, im able to download desired files trough links by copy paste to browser....

any help would be nice...

@faruktezcan im also turkish mr tezcan, as i can see you might be able to help me

Doppel-D · April 3, 2021, 6:45pm

Searching for the error message and some trial&error is a good start ;- )

runningwithcoffee · April 3, 2021, 8:04pm

edit:

there is a command in ssh which changes the ip range of the router:

uci set network.lan.ipaddr=192.168.2.1

then;

uci commit && service network restart

so i changed it as 192.168.1.2 instead of 2.1 i got no dns error somehow.
my brain got mixed when i was able to connect to internet on pc's but not able to get updated from ssh.

anyway, i fixed my issue for now, now im gonna set router as my main router since thats how its working in normal conditions

abi halettim, vaktini aldım kusura bakma, basit bir hataymış.

Are the security vulnerabilities exposed today in the wpa2/wpa3 spec and wifi chip implementations by security researcher Mathy Vanhoef on the website fragattacks.com going to be fixed?
