Hi guys!,

Still running old 18.06 because its rock solid. Do you recommend switching to 19.07.03?.

Best! and Thanks Edu for your drivers.

564

I'm currently using 19.07.3 on a WRT3200ACM, and it's rock solid, I do not see any reason to hold the upgrade.

Thanks for the thanks... but I just package the drivers, I do not develop them myself.

Yeah i know! thanks for the packaging :slight_smile:

My main router is a wrt1900acs so i think i'll prepare an upgrade window in the coming weeks.

@eduperez There is a recent pull request over on Github (https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/pull/388) which suggests stability improvements for Intel wireless cards.

I'm assuming that it could be forever until that pull request gets merged for mwlwifi.

Would you be willing to compile this into your driver package?
Or, if you can any concerns, put out a test driver initially?

Thank you.

Thanks for the heads up! That looks interesting, give me a couple of days, and I will prepare the packages.

Does not work for me - no connection to the wifi of my wrt1900acs v2 any more ...

I knew that this was meant for v1, but i did not expect this one to brick my v2 wifi:

10.3.8.0-thagabe-93c3d8d works well on my WRT32X.

573

It is working well on my WRT3200acm as well. Although I have not yet had a chance to put my old Intel wireless card back into my ultrabook to see whether or not the changes are enough to fix the major issues with Intel chips that have affected mwlwifi. I will respond when I get a chance to test that chip.

574

Unfortunately, if the packages install and the device boots, there is little to nothing I can do to improve the packages...

If this experimental version does not work for you, I suggest adding a comment at thagabe's pull request:

575

@eduperez, please build mwlwifi driver version 10.3.8.0-thagabe commit 93c3d8d for 19.07.4. I will be using it on my WRT3200acm.

Thanks!

576

Yes, sure, just give me a couple of days!

How about drivers built for OpenWRT 19.07.4 too? :slight_smile:

@eduperez

I am having issues as stated in forum post: WRT3200ACM on 19.07.4 DFS not Working

Will a 19.07.4 package of yours potentially fix my issue?

Your support in keeping the rest of us updated with mwlwifi drivers is greatly appreciated.
