Hello all, i have a question regarding MX8500. I make my builds based on qosmio repos, and on snapshot there’s a temp sensor for 5Gb port. But on 24.10 stable builds, it’s not there anymore. Does anyone know how to make it appear on stable builds ? Maybe @qosmio will know ?
Hi @wolfxr and many others,
A few minutes ago, I pushed all the packages that the CI hadn't uploaded to the repo (The CI will be fixed in the next build)
Since APK doesn't give us the option to prioritize one repository over another, we have to use this to install the packages that exist in both repositories.
apk add package --repository https://openwrtdata.agustinls.com/nss-wifi-unified/20251114/packages/packages.adb
The other option is to modify the file: /etc/apk/repositories.d/distfeeds.list and leave only
https://openwrtdata.agustinls.com/nss-wifi-unified/20251114/packages/packages.adb
This option requires running this last: apk update
Regards, Agustin

802.11s and BATMAN (not used in speed test) are now working on the main-nss branch for GL.iNet Slate AX.
Had to manually add qca-nss-drv for PPPoE and others to work.
1Gbit PPPoE at 0% CPU including Wi-Fi mesh traffic at 400Mbit simultaneously.
Testing packets per second throughput over Wi-Fi from a wired LAN using iperf3 -M 88 -R... increased from 60Mbit (stock and mainline) to a whopping 220Mbit (!).

Adding the extra mesh options are important, using LuCI was not enough:
option mesh_gate_announcements '1'
option mesh_hwmp_rootmode '4'
option mesh_max_peer_links '5'
option mesh_ttl '5'
option mesh_element_ttl '3'
option mesh_hwmp_max_preq_retries '2'
option mesh_rssi_threshold '-70'
Both Wi-Fi adapters may crash in an infinite loop after restarting one of them for some reason, had to reboot after applying config.
Disconnecting an ethernet port physically can lead to crash. (only on 2.05)

The previous Wi-Fi crash (Oops#1) was on WLAN.HK.2.05, currently testing 2.12 by replacing /lib/firmware/IPQ6018 content (link):
[ 12.771451] ath11k c000000.wifi: fw_version 0x2c058558 fw_build_timestamp 2024-07-11 16:18 fw_build_id WLAN.HK.2.12-01368-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
Edit 1: 802.11r doesn't work on either firmware. 802.11k is enforced regardless of configuration.
Edit 2: WLAN.HK.2.12 is stable, but some clients (AC) have very low egress <1Mbit regardless of TX rate. Fixed by power cycle after Wi-Fi config change.
Edit 3: All connected clients dropped after 2 days with no errors from hostapd or kernel, resumed working after few minutes. Clients report disconnections and repeated association attempts.
Back to OpenWrt mainline for now.
Thanks for all the efforts. This project can save on upgrades.
It’s worth mentioning that B.A.T.M.A.N doesn’t utilise NSS. Whilst you’re free to use batman-adv as part of your mesh solution, it will never take advantage of NSS offloading, effectively leading you with CPU throttling for any traffic over the mesh.

Correct, I'm not using it so far, didn't use it in the past test, but in previous builds it caused crash on wireless bridge bind.
Hello!
Over the past two days, I tested three WAX610 units running an NSS build at an event, and they performed really well!
(The only additional applications installed were usteer, luci-ttyd, and btop.)
The total number of simultaneous connections was about 120 STAs across the hall, with roughly 40–50 STAs per AP, and everything ran smoothly throughout the event without any crashes or reboots.
(Pulling out the PoE switch power cable and taking down the entire network was another story!)
I also brought about three old Aironet 3702E units as a backup plan, but never needed to use them.
Many thanks to @qosmio and all the developers involved!
Thank you so much!

you can look at the qosmio repo packages-extra . Instruction is there to add temperature package onto nss feed.confg or feed.config.default file to allow the feature. just follow the direction of the repo. I did that with qosmio nss-24.10 myself

Hello
Is there any way ro make nblwmon show traffic on a xiaomi ax3600 installed with latest qosmio nss build?
So far captured data is empty
Hi, what's the benefit of adding these options? Are these for the 802.11s mesh or the batman-adv mesh?
These aren't needed for batman-adv-mesh, 802.11s routing or HWMP didn't work without them unlike snapshot OpenWrt.

I changed the download location and did apk update like said by lorenzo, reinstalled but nothing helps.
check the readme
Cake wont work as its not supported by the nss driver. @qosmio can probably explain it better.

I have two test units (Buffalo 5950AX12), and for both, I flashed new firmware via TFTP and wiped all old settings. I tried both my own build (kernel version 6.12.57) and @AgustinLorenzo 's mesh build, but in both cases, the STA crashes immediately upon connecting to the AP.
The AP and STA each have very basic configurations as shown below:
AP
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option path 'platform/soc@0/c000000.wifi'
option band '5g'
option channel '36'
option htmode 'HE80'
option cell_density '0'
option disabled '0'
config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
option device 'radio0'
option mode 'ap'
option ssid 'a'
option encryption 'sae'
option wds '1'
option key 'aaaaaaaaaa'
option ocv '0'
option disabled '0'
STA
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option path 'platform/soc@0/c000000.wifi'
option band '5g'
option channel '36'
option htmode 'HE80'
option cell_density '0'
option disabled '0'
config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
option device 'radio0'
option mode 'sta'
option ssid 'a'
option encryption 'sae'
option wds '1'
option key 'aaaaaaaaaa'
option ocv '0'
option disabled '0'
I also tried AP/STA mode without WDS, but the STA still crashes in the same way.
The WDS STA running firmware from around May works perfectly, but have there been any recent changes to the ath11k driver or firmware?
Thank you!
Thinking about this again, if everything is limited to 1 hop and so we can't have dynamic routes and self healing and such, doesn't this mean on NSS there's no point to running 802.11s mesh instead of WDS? How does the Linksys firmware manage it?
There is a problem with the latest ath11k driver and firmware 2.9 in STA mode: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/20702

@qosmio also confirmed boot loop as soon as STA client interface is enabled, I guess that's a good reason to stick with 802.11s instead of WDS for me.
So the stable solution in my case where the internet gateway must be on the edge of a 2-hop mesh, seems to be to have two separate meshes, one between the GW and the central node, and another between the central node and the other edge node.
Seems pretty silly, at this point I yearn for the simplicity of the factory firmware - if only the MX4200s don't keep crashing on it due to running out of memory or something.
Thank you for the information. this was very helpful.
Based on my testing, the build from August 1 by Agustin, which uses the ath11k driver version 2.9.0.1, is currently the only one that works reliably in STA mode. For now, that build appears to be the stable option for STA use.
I'll keep an eye on the ath11k 2.12 issue.
Thanks again!

I haven’t tested mesh myself, so I don’t have much insight there, but if the goal is to extend Wi-Fi coverage, a wired setup combined with 802.11r roaming and usteer has been very stable for me. Of course, I assume you’re using mesh because running cables isn’t an option.
I’ve seen cases where some vendors implement tuning for reactive/proactive modes or custom scripts (not available in iw) to prevent mesh path flapping, so it seems like this is a challenge for everyone.
In any case, since WDS isn’t working at the moment, that approach does seem like the only viable option for now.
