Hey!
How are you?
Don't you think, that the router actually is using the /rom/lib/firmware/mwlwifi/88W8964.bin firmware for the wifi?
What is werid is that I have overriden the LEDE package/kernel/mwlwifi/Makefile, still in the rom, there is a different wifi firmware, why is that?
I see it is there in /lib/firmware/mwlwifi/, but on booting, it uses the wifi firmware from the rom, not the storage. Don't you think?
I have is like overriden like here https://github.com/patrikx3/lede-insomnia/blob/master/patches/source/package/kernel/mwlwifi/Makefile
How come the rom and the storage is different firmware .bin file?

The 88W8964.bin is different.
I overridden the package package/kernel/mwlwifi/Makefile, and I create a LEDE image with the image builder. In the LEDE there is only one mwlwifi Makefile and that is correct and the ipk is correct and is installed with the kmod as well when I install the router firmware, still the rom and the storage is different, where is the different is coming??? Don't you know?
What is weird is that is not the wifi firmware from LEDE 17.01.4, still from the rom and the storage is different, or is it because the rom and the storage format (ext4 vs rom, that is why is different?)
