I'm still testing but I've run into another issue twice, the specific issue mentioned here:
You're actually correct. After updating to the latest firmware package, the BDF does seem to be larger than the previous ones and replacing the file manually is no longer necessary.
It does show up, but if you actually select it, it will fail to initialize. At least that's what happened to me.
Nice fix, especially now, that the temperatures start to go up.Is there a way to make it work at 12V instead of 5V and have it run at the fastest possible speed?
Apart from the above, I am curious about the package selection for AX9000. I see that there is ath10k-firmware-qca9887-ct installed which replaces ath10k-firmware-qca9887. When checking the description, it states that it Enables IBSS and other features. Can anyone show an example of this IBSS in real life? The QCA9887 is only Wi-Fi 5 enabled, which means no ODFMA. I, for one, don't use that antenna and prefer the other ones for the Wi-Fi 6 OFDMA, but I'm curious to see how that antenna can be used for this IBSS.
Can someone test a BDF for me? It's for the 5ghz qcn9074 card
Hi @Ansuel , I can test. Hit me up with a DM or just post it here.
i think it will be important to determine if this is before"Revert "ath11k-firmware: update to WLAN.HK.2.9.0.1-01713-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1" - https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=2f29ddf01eb861b57e511f9eac83e01ce7818327 or/and "Revert "WIP: ipq-wifi: use my fork temporarily until upstreamed""
Latest build r23298-598e058080 broke the BDF file again for the QCN9074 card. It's required that you replace the board-2.bin again after flashing.

Does not appear to be the case with my AX9000, I upgraded to OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r23298-598e058080 via attend sysupgrade and I'm able to connect to radio3 without replacing the board-2.bin file.
Yes same here for me. Still had to replace the BDF

I'm still able to connect to radio3 on both devices without having to replace the BDF

The fact that the timestamp is in 2022 for the board-2.bin means that the firmware package was probably not upgraded. The timestamp should have actually been 2023-06-07 instead (1 day before the build date).
Can you also try to join via Windows 11/10 with Intel Wi-Fi card?

I've struggled with 802.11r and never got it to work with/without replacing the BDF
Nice that 802.11s works for you.
Just waiting when someone to find a fix to stop the irritating led lights on the ax9000 router
What do you want to achieve with the LEDs?
I've been able to use the LEDs or turn them off as desired so maybe someone here can help out if you describe what you want.

junior is there any fix to run higher 5ghz like as of now i only get radio3 on 36.40,46 and 48 and no other channels work for me is that normal behaviour???
I think radio3 worked earlier at 100 (5500 Mhz) if the selected CC is US.
I'll try it out later to see if it still works.
