I was able to gain ssh access using the exploit on #251 (global version). Use #179 if you have chinese version.

IPQ807x-5.10-backports

446

Hi @trourance
I can return a favour:)
The situation with branches is a bit complicated ... IPQ807x-5.10-backports is kind of working for most of the things, and kernel 5.10.x is used for this branch with wifi drivers only backported from kernel 5.15.
But with the things that didn't work, robimarko hit a kind of dead-end and started his work afresh with a newer kernel 5.15.
So while branch IPQ807x-5.10-backports is ahead at the moment (so today's recommendation from Gingernut is correct for today), I think the situation will change in favour of ipq807x-5.15 soon ... :slight_smile:

Is the main 5Ghz radio working yet? Only thing stopping me from using OpenWrt. I miss it lol

448

Nope, ath11k is a pain that just keeps on giving.
Its got a stupid bug in which PCI card works if you dont load the AHB module

449

Do you think kernel 5.15.x has this bug fixed?

450

Its an ath11k bug

451

hmmm that's not promising when it comes to supporting AX9000
is kvalo aware?

452

I am sure that QCA is aware, and they will fix it as soon as some of their users require it.
Otherwise, good luck

I finally used that exploit to free my early Chinese model. Only thing I needed was a translator for their Chinese only UI. Otherwise, it worked without requiring anything else. Not even an Internet connection was required.

454

Dang that doesn't sound good. Hopefully its fixed sometime. The router isn't very good without the main 5Ghz radio. Please let us know when its working/fixed :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi!

I tested the 5.15 branch on a ax9000 and have several problems.

  1. Network does not respond, somehow I get a loop!?
  2. SOC wireless does not initialize as before with 5.10-restart.

Here are some logs:
tcpdump on eth0 shows an incoming packet multiple times.

It may be the the soc wifi caldata has been borked by the javascript root method.
Does somebody has a caldata for test?

456

5.15 branch is pretty much wip. There is a problem with the firewall3 and on the ax9000 ath11k has a problem if ath11k_ahb and ath11k_pci loaded at the same time.
Thats why wifi isn't working.
If you just want to use the ax9000, it's better to use the backports-5.10 branch.

457

Hi!

I tried that 5.10-restart hours before but I get a similar error with wireless there. That's why I wanted to give 5.15 a try. I think my caldata is broken somehow. Could you give me your's for a try?

458

I doubt its the caldata, this warning should only happen when doing regulatory things.

459

But it seems I'm the only one with this problem. And I can remember that the javascript unlock method wanted a Country code and changed things on the flash, including radio. Perhaps something went wrong.
Am I correct that the caldata is the only "radio" information stored on the flash?
Thanks!

460

I kind of doubt it as even if you changed the regulatory domain in the caldata that is ignored completely.
The rest of regulatory is inside of the FW and BDF.

Can you try just changing the regulatory domain with iw reg set ALPHA2
Obviously replace the ALPHA2 with your country 2 letter code

461

iw reg set DE makes no problems. BTW, a wifi config gives this result:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option path 'soc/10000000.pci/pci0001:00/0001:00:00.0/0001:01:00.0'
        option channel '36'
        option band '5g'
        option htmode 'VHT80'
        option disabled '1'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
        option device 'radio0'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'OpenWrt'
        option encryption 'none'

config wifi-device 'radio1'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option path 'platform/soc/c000000.wifi'
        option disabled '1'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio1'
        option device 'radio1'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'OpenWrt'
        option encryption 'none'

config wifi-device 'radio2'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option path 'platform/soc/c000000.wifi+1'
        option channel '1'
        option band '2g'
        option htmode 'HE20'
        option disabled '1'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio2'
        option device 'radio2'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'OpenWrt'
        option encryption 'none'

So by default it is somehow wrongly configured.

Even if I beginn with no wifi config, then iw reg set DE, configure default wifi , it starts and than gives me that again:

462

Perhaps try another BDF?

463

This makes no sense, the default config is sane
