This also includes more repositories. Does this mean Intel is finally supporting the drivers?

paldier · 2019-12-01T11:47:59.863Z

new ax driver has supported wave500/wave600 and kernel3.10/4.9 and ar9/ar10/grx350/grx550/grx750/puma
and uclibc/musl,luci too(15.05)
new sdk can build openwrt firmware(cc or lede) with close source bins(dirvers and tools)

Smim0 · 2020-02-03T10:08:10.976Z

Hello,

I finally could compile openwrt with those intel source codes, for the moment it works with 18.06.5. I compiled an image for Orange Livebox 2.1 (Lantiq x200) with the following packages:

iwlwav-base-files
kmod-iwlwav-driver-uci
iwlwav-driver-uci
iwlwav-tools
iwlwav-iw
iwlwav-hostap-uci

For the moment the driver is not working.

Regards,

paldier · 2020-02-04T04:57:24.268Z

iwlwav,i think it is open source and only supports wave500/600

To @Mandrake-Lee and owners of the Orange Livebox 2.1, follow these instructions to get the driver working on your device.

you need to build openwrt from source to enable PCIE MSI which isn't enabled by default in the kernel config. In order to do this add these two lines to the file target/linux/lantiq/xrx200/config-4.14.

CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y
CONFIG_PCIE_LANTIQ_MSI=y

the kernel still would fail to compile untill you apply the next patch.

create the file target/linux/lantiq/patches-4.14/1000-xrx200-pcie-msi-fix.patch and paste the following code in it.

you also need to set pcie-reset = <&gpio 21 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; in the dts file target/linux/lantiq/files-4.14/arch/mips/boot/dts/ARV7519RW22.dts under the &pcie0 block. it should look like

&pcie0 {
        status = "okay";
        gpio-reset = <&gpio 21 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
        pcie-reset = <&gpio 21 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
};

compile openwrt and flash it to your device.
compile the wave300 driver with these options enabled.
- PCI Express bus
- Use interrupt polling
insert the driver with insmod and your wifi card should appear as wlan0.

Peace.

Could you explain this point a bit more? I don't know how to compile this driver, where are the sources?

Thank you so much!

Plonk34 · 2020-02-23T12:03:40.893Z

ahmar20/wave300-dev: Does not compile because drv_shared.h is missed.

vittorio88/wave300:
After some changes timer_setup() etc it will compile, but it ends up with:

What is the right/best way to compile and use the driver ?

ahmar16 · 2020-02-23T17:16:07.078Z

There have been some changes to the linux kernel in the meanwhile since I successfully built the driver from @pc2005 sources. I remember building it with v18.06.2 so maybe you can try that. It took him a great deal of time to make the driver useable at some level but still the driver needs a lot of work to be able to integrate properly with OpenWrt.

Smim0 · 2020-02-24T09:54:13.351Z

Hello Suleiman,

Is this patch needed for the 4.9.xxx kernel version also? I suppose that your instructions are for the latest openwrt version V19.07.1, does it mean the driver works fine for this version?

Thanks,

Smim0 · 2020-02-24T10:07:51.422Z

Hello ahmar16,

I have read the whole topic, thanks for the great work done along with others. Just to confirm the driver works but no encryption right?

Thanks,

ahmar16 · 2020-02-24T10:26:29.224Z

Yes the driver works without any encryption. This is because the WiFi is visible in LuCI after it gets initiated and you can only assign it to a network such as LAN but there is no entry for the WiFi in Wireless config so that is why no changes can be done after initialization and hence no encryption.

Smim0 · 2020-02-24T11:35:16.104Z

did you try to manually write a /etc/config/wireless file? From my understanding this file is automatically generated by the driver which for now is still not properly integrated with OpenWrt

ahmar16 · 2020-02-24T13:13:30.730Z

Yes I tried editing the wireless config but it didn't help because it needs some specific parameters that I don't know. So if someone would need to implement the config, they need to know those parameters to configure it.

lukasz92 · 2020-02-24T13:45:59.748Z

Could you share speed of upload/download on 19.07.1?

I remember that there was an option, to allow wifi interface to be bridged to br-lan:
iwpriv wlan0 sBridgeMode=1

@ahmar16 a script is needed to link /etc/config/wireless with wave300 driver, example can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/p/netiaspotwrt/trunk/38541/tree//branches/attitude_adjustment/target/linux/lantiq/base-files/lib/wifi/mtlk.sh , but it worked on OpenWRT 12.09 - not sure if any modifications are needed to 19.07.

ahmar16 · 2020-02-24T19:19:49.606Z

lukasz92:

Could you share speed of upload/download on 19.07.1

To be clear I'm not using WAVE300 driver at the moment. To compile the driver I'll need OpenWrt source and atm my laptop is not in a good shape to go for that.

I'll need a couple of weeks to get a new HDD for my laptop and then I'll possibly check the script myself. If I remember correctly, the WiFi speeds may have been provided above in the topic somewhere but they also were implemented with another set of patches from @pc2005.

Smim0 · 2020-02-25T08:41:11.320Z

I'm trying to compile pc2005 driver but I get the following error message after exitting "make menuconfig"

I don't know where does "../../../" come from but it is the source of the error I think

Do you remember what changes did you make?

BTW: vittorio88/wave300 compiles successfully even with v18.06.7 (kernel 4.14)

Thanks

Smim0 · 2020-02-25T12:09:52.532Z

here you have the sources

https://repo.or.cz/wave300.git

ahmar16 · 2020-02-25T19:01:53.450Z

You need to execute make distclean in wave300 sources directory. It will clear any errors and then set your OpenWrt source and make the modules.

Edit: I am having the same issue on v18.06.7. @pc2005 Can you please check the wave300 sources?

suleiman · 2020-02-25T20:31:56.415Z

I have some good news.

For the livebox users you don't need to recompile openwrt with MSI if you modify the driver to not use MSI which is pretty easy.
I back-ported the rflib version 3.5 to work with driver version 03.02.03.01.25 which has a working sta_upper.bin firmware and now wifi scanning works.
I managed to make the hostapd_08x patches compile with the latest hostapd package from openwrt 19.07.

I will post my sources and results soon.
