It's running pretty smoothly for me, and actually getting zero build warnings. Also a lot fewer exceptions reported from NSS IFB (/sys/kernel/debug/qca-nss-drv/stats/igs).

yes all working fine on the qnap

sppmaster · 2024-05-04T07:30:57.326Z

All seems OK on my QNAP too. I've applied latest GRO commits from OpenWrt main and kernel 6.6.30. I didn't use the patch from @zxlhhyccc because I compiled yesterday.
One interesting finding for nlbwmon.
I've found out that for the last several days it started working but it was counting only the traffic for the new month. The previous month stats was empty. I don't know the reason for this but looks to me that it started working when the new month had started. Now after a new flash and reboot it doesn't count traffic for the current month again.

Does this log prompt have any impact?

This is already part of the patch I posted in my gist.

I have these installed after applying the SSDK-12.5.r2.patch.
Date 2024.04.17 for SSDK switch driver seems OK.

Also, it looks like we may have to revisit re-enabling the 'disable_offloads' options of ECM. We're technically supposed to keep GRO and GSO off. But I've found disabling GSO actually negatively impacted wifi performance.

What does the WiFi speed regression look like in your case?
I think that I cannot get max wifi speeds now too. Usual tests that I perform after every update. I used to get 1Gbps and now I reach ~700-800Mbps max but will do more tests to see if it is temporary.
Still unable to run wg-bench test though. Same error.

From WIFI to LAN

IMG_05961290×1944 131 KB

actually, disabling just GRO should be sufficient. If I recall, GSO was only disabled on the physical WAN and LAN port in QSDK's boost_performance.sh.

For reference I'm able to max out my line speed over WiFi.

NSS OPENWRT BRANCH

I've opened a PR for SSDK 12.5, hopefully it's merged upstream. But in anticipation I've pushed it to my branch.

Just pushed QSDK 12.5 updates to NSS packages.

	CONFIG_NSS_FIRMWARE_VERSION_11_4 \
	CONFIG_NSS_FIRMWARE_VERSION_12_1 \
	CONFIG_NSS_FIRMWARE_VERSION_12_2

Which one should choose? 11_4, 12_1 or 12_2?

rmandrad · 2024-05-05T06:39:04.607Z

as i recall ... 11_4 is the only version with mesh ...12.1 is working (but not with mesh) ... i am unsure about 12.2 (the repo repo.ate.cx doesn't seem to be reachable on my end)

zxlhhyccc · 2024-05-05T06:49:49.312Z

QSDK 12.5 just deleted.

@rmandrad Pushed local branch by mistake.

Is it time to use 12.5? Now 12.5 Is It Required instead of 11.4?

qosmio · 2024-05-05T07:35:54.124Z

11.4 is only required if you want offloaded wifi mesh. However, it only affects nss-drv, and nss-clients because it's dependent on specific NSS firmware. Even on the latest 12.5, if you choose firmware 11.4 for mesh, it won't affect the other NSS packages (ecm, mcs, etc.)

12.5 will be default to follow changes from QSDK.

zxlhhyccc · 2024-05-05T08:37:35.669Z

If want offloaded wifi mesh network there will be a time when the route is started when the connection is disconnected and you cannot log in to the route. My AX6 is not an official partition.

JuliusBairaktaris · 2024-05-05T10:29:21.704Z

@qosmio Great job! Everything works flawlessly on my ax3600.

Build

What I noticed though is that uci show ecm does not show ecm.general.disable_gro='0', is this on purpose?

Have offloaded wifi mesh network?
