Unless there is a bug in my build procedure, each package I announce here corresponds to a commit in kaloz's repo, using the same identifier; the packages at https://github.com/eduperez/mwlwifi_LEDE/releases/tag/c2f82f1 should contain the code from the commit you mentioned.
Executing "iw phy" on my router, I see that "mesh point" is mentioned as a "supported interface mode"; and that leads me to believe that the package is correct. However, if you suspect that something is wrong, please let me know.
Thanks for your prompt reply. However when using the same mesh config on WRT3200ACM with the updated driver as I did on an ipq40x device (both are on 18.06-rc1), the radio used in mesh interface fails to start. If anyone has better experience starting the mesh interface on WRT models, please post away.
Thank you for all your hard work and time in providing this for us. Are you still providing builds for 17.1? I did not see a link for it in the latest d9daa1d commit. Thanks
Yes, I intend to keep building packages for 17, but the latest changes are not compatible with the older kernels, and I still have to figure out how to build the packages properly.
Stay tuned, I will probably announce the packages soon.
I believe these are the same commits as the last, but in addition, he has included a version that is supported by 17.04 branch which was left out previously due to kernel incompatibility.
Rather easily visible from mwlwifi repo that d9daa1d is newer than c2f82f1: https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/commits/master
(yuhhaurlin changes the upstream version date rarely, I guess that only when they feel that the upstream repo is at stable status and some new feature has been completed.)
The names for the ipk files contain the driver version, as stated on the upstream repo (10.3.8.0-20180615), and the commit identifier (d9daa1d). The driver version does not change often, so it's normal to have several commits for the same version. But commit identifier are meaningless, so you have to check them on the upstream repo (https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/commits/master) or in the releases (https://github.com/eduperez/mwlwifi_LEDE/releases) to be sure which one is the last one.
This commit contains mostly and updated firmware (and the needed support code) for the 88W8997 chipset that none of us owns... so it is probably interesting only to check that everything is still working as expected.
Sorry, but I am not sure... I have read the WRT32X is (almost) the same hardware as the WRT3200ACM, but I am not following the development on that device. You could ask at https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/issues, and based on their answer I can try to make specific packages.
Despite the version bump, this release adds absolutely nothing new; unless I really messed with the packaging, you should expect no difference at all with respect to latest release. However, I cannot test all these packages myself, so I have added a poll below, so people can vote "it works for me", and others can be confident when downloading and installing these packages:
@eduperez Thank you for these latest packages. So far I've got the latest "20180716" build of the driver, released today, running on the WRT3200ACM and it's working fantastic thus far.
