i recall i had the same issue.
once you do the initial flash, do a sysupgrade (to the same build, yes) from within openwrt. you can do sysupgrade -n just to be extra sure.
i think this was a necessary step.
Thanks, I can confirm that with an extra "sysupgrade -n", the config/settings is saved!
Excellent, you followed the proper advice. I've used that one too the first time I installed OpenWrt on 301W.
I've added that info in the Wiki too.
It's a real pleasure to be able to use cutting edge technologies like WireGuard on our routers. I have five WG interfaces now and still counting.
Actually I have this in rc.local too. Otherwise it doesn't work. For example if I remove even the last line it stops counting data. But I think it doesn't count properly IPv6 traffic at least on my NSS build.

Is it with NSS possible to have on SSID and multiple VLAN's?
E. g. like:
1.) _Individual per-passphrase Wifi VLANs using wpa_psk_file (no RADIUS required) - #21 by zekica resp.: _One SSID, multiple VLANs
2.) _https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/5aa2ddd0d6b9759c62bbb7bb11b72a7f4269c16b
Trying the first approach using hostapd.wpa_psk resp. hostapd.vlan approach is ending with an assignment of the phy's to one vlan only. No matter what I do.
Trying the 2nd approach is crashing mac80211 completley as soon wifi is restarted.
I didn't try vanilla OpenWrt yet. I'm just investigating right now. It might be that I do thing wrong.
Is this try doomed to fail esp. for NSS or can this be achieved?
I guess Buffalo WXR-2533DHP can be added

Hi. Im trying to build the firmware for ax6 from your branch 24.10-nss. make menuconfig check enable kmod-qca-nss-drv-bridge-mgr and kmod-qca-nss-drv-vlan-mgr. But after compile firmware in config.buildinfo i dont see the line kmod-qca-nss-drv-bridge-mgr=y kmod-qca-nss-drv-vlan-mgr=y. It`s a normal?
config.buildinfo is not a "full list of what is enabled"
to see if certain kmod(s) is built into the firmware, you can check in the shell with the nss_diag script
What needs to be done to set WiFi IPQ8074 802.11ac/ax/n on 160mhz? I could not find it by using search functionality.
AP boots correctly on channel 36 and 160mhz. However, the clients (macbook m1) always connect to 80mhz and never switches to the 160mhz one.
What country code and channel setting should be used? Does the BDF or regfile need patching? (using @AgustinLorenzo's build, with ax3600)

Hi @qosmio, I was only able to get nlbwmon to work back in 6.50 and ever since it hasn't worked. Can you help me fix it? I always do fresh installs.

Hi, rx-gro-list must be turned on or off?
AFAIK, the m1 mac does not support 160mhz,
Apple has a spec listed here:

I am testing upload/download rate limit.
If I use nft-qos package, the policy is set as below.
table inet nft-qos-static {
chain upload {
type filter hook postrouting priority mangle; policy accept;
ip saddr 192.168.1.163 limit rate over 2 mbytes/second drop
}
chain download {
type filter hook prerouting priority mangle; policy accept;
ip daddr 192.168.1.163 limit rate over 2 mbytes/second drop
}
}
If I enable software flow offloading in firewall,
I can confirm that upload rate limit is applied, but download rate limit is not applied. I think it is due to NSS. Could you explain how to solve it?

having flow offloading enabled defeats the purpose of NSS that does hardware flow offloading separate to the way openwrt implements it.

For those of you using my nss-supported builds for the nbg7815 with LED and fan support, I've compiled a new version based on the 24.10.0-rc1 branch.

Hi,
The RAX120v2 FW is not correct. It's for SXS80 (hexdump it to check)
Comming back to my attempt to implement vlan for wifi directly. I've tinkered around a while now and found out it is not working for nss.
While this approach (https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/17145) in connection with sae and the vlan patch for ath11k is working on vanilla. It is not working for nss builds.
As soon a device is trying to connect the mac80211 driver is constantly crashing with the output below (as long a device is trying to connect). Sometimes the connection goes through but the CPU is maxed out and the whole device/system is becomming unresponsive. If the device gets connected it is assigned to the first lan always but never to the desired vlan and after a while the device get dropped out.
Is it desired to open an issue or discussing this elsewhere or is this not within the scope off nss builds?

Looks like a bug on image creation. But I'm not sure if the devices share common things regarding flashing the device via manufacturer web gui. Maybe it's worth to open an issue on OpenWrt/Github.
Th ath11k driver doesn't support AP-VLAN functions, so dynamic VLAN isn't possible unless the draft patch is applied. Unfortunately, after it was drafted, it was sent back for some revisions and porting to a more recent base, but that was in 2022 and it's been stale since then.
There is a fork of the Linksys MX4300 non-NSS branch available here:
https://github.com/gtxaspec/openwrt-mx4300/blob/mx4300-dev/package/kernel/mac80211/patches/ath11k/906-ath11k-add-support-for-dynamic-vlan.patch
If someone were so inclined, it could be brought up to speed with the drivers used here, but as is it doesn't work here. It does, however, work with the main openwrt repo which is where I've been messing with it, trying to iron out my own hypothetical setup (thanks to practically free MX4300s, everyone can have a qa environment lol).

1.) Thank you for your answer.
2.) I'm trying to adopt this approach to get rid of SSID pollution. I tried FreeRadius in the past (some years ago). But this is a software full of bugs trying to be feature rich (IMO). It's crap.
3.) As I've started investigating this topic I've realized very fast that VLAN is not supported by ath11k. But I've found out that the NSS repo is including VLAN patches (207-ath11k-Add-support-for-dynamic-vlan.patch (1 for subsys and 1 for ath11k)). That was the reason why I've tried NSS in first instance. So I assumed (maybe I'm completley wrong here) that it should work out of the box.
4.) Yesterday I've made a vanilla build including the SAE patch (PR from above) and the VLAN patch (written for plain ath11k; https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/1641786090-10232-1-git-send-email-quic_seevalam@quicinc.com/#24727646). It is working on vanialla.
To me (I don't have really a clue) it looks like that the NSS vlan patches are doing different things resp. are meant for other things but not dealing with vlans directly.
Next step I would try is to integrate the vlan patch into NSS. But I don't know if this is doomed for the NSS because it is so different. Maybe someone else could say sth. about. The patch I've used is dated 10 Jan 2022 09:11:30. There are several revisions flying around. So I do not really know what is the proper to use.
EDIT: I see you have used the same patch as I did.
EDIT2: Parts of the original patch are indeed within 207-ath11k-Add-support-for-dynamic-vlan.patch files (it is named "ath11k: Add support for dynamic vlan" also). It looks to me it is a more recent version of the original patch. So basically my assumption that this should work on NSS is not so wrong. To me it looks like it is just not enabled by default bc. the lines ".supports_ap_vlan = true," for the devices are missing within core.c. I'll try to enable it as a last effort.
EDIT3: Trying to use supports_ap_vlan does not work. It seems to be outdated resp. not suitable/useable for NSS.
