install the most recent snapshot, or switch to stable.

i'm using

git checkout v22.03.3
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
make menuconfig

so how would I define "stable"

Stable means the official image downloaded from the OpenWrt website - not an image you compiled yourself. You cannot install kmods on self-built images unless you build them yourself. Just select the necessary modules in make menuconfig and you won't have to download the packages from the feed.

I tried selecting the modules from make menuconfig but had the same issue, or do i need to do feeds update/install again first?

After selecting the modules in menuconfig, you need to compile the modules at the same time as the firmware (kernel itself).

7

If you select them during make menuconfig, they are included in the image (make sure it reads "*" not "M"). No need to install anything separately.

8

Or just use the online image builder to add the packages you need, without compiling the whole thing.

Adding the ipk you mean?

Yeah, that's what I meant.
