R7800: Wlan fails after attended sysupgrade

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi Together,
i upgradet from 22.x to

OpenWrt 23.05.5 r24106-10cc5fcd00 / LuCI openwrt-23.05 branch git-24.264.56413-c7a3562

everything seems to work okay - beside of the two wlan interfaces didnt come up. there is an errormessage in the log:

Install ucode rtnl module, probably wpad-mbedtls too

perhaps there is a mistake in the old config?

update: after a reboot it works - thanks!

Seems wifi support disappeared (like by default in x86 vm), if you dont have config backup make one now.
Install clean 23.05.5 and type config back via luci.

now it works. beside of the pppoe connection iam tuning just right now. i think i dont need a fresh / clean install. it seems that all settings where recovered corectly.

perhaps someone can point me in the right direction. actualy iam switching from my old isp (ftth) to my new isp (vodafone dsl). both are using pppoe.

i cannot get the pppoe connection to my new isp working on the r7800. thats realy strange since pppoe works with my old ftth provider.

i also have for testing puposes another openwrt router. there the pppoe connection works with my new provider. i also cloned the mac from the test-router but it didnt worked. could it be that the isp only accepts the router that i connected the first time to the new line?

I think "upgrade" to clean image, it has wifi and pppoe in place. network turned into DSA (ip link shows lan1@eth0 , not eth0.1) then all config/network needs to be re-done.

7

i installed a clean sysupgrade image. dsl line is now working. i think the problem was the vlan - the old provider was on vlan 37 / the new provider didnt accept that vlan ...

but also i made a clean sysupgrade without preserving config files, dsa is not present:

grep -sq DEVTYPE=dsa /sys/class/net/*/uevent;

gives not output.

should i install dsa manually or is it ok like it is?

thanks

DSA is kernel feature, likely to come in next release....
