Almost dead
Hello @garlet
Here is the latest acheiving from my side.
I was able to compile this source driver for openwrt v18.06.6 (in openwrt v19 it failed) following these instructions from @suleiman.
To launch the driver you need the firmware files https://ufile.io/f/4bbft but not all of them, it depends on the hardware you are working what I did was to launch the driver at first with nothing and then check the logs everytime it crashes it asks for a specific one so I kept adding them till the driver launched correctly.
About hostapd, I managed to compile the one provided by @vittorio88 in the begining of the thread and launch it manually but I believe the one that comes with openwrt could be used if patched but as I have no idea about coding I didn't do it.
About the firmware files, the ones that worked are from version 3.4.2 and they worked fine but unfortunately the don't have the file sta_upper_wave300.bin which gives the option to have sta mode, @suleiman has done something here to make it work.
I hope this helps.
Cheers

Thanks, do you have the 39_RevA files?
ProgModel_BG_nCB_39_RevA_wave300.bin and ProgModel_BG_nCB_wave300.bin
I found some more firmware files that contain this one and more

Hi, after reading this topic, and before start working on the code, I will recap what happened, so I can be in the correct path and new people can understand what is going on.
First @ vittorio88, @pc2005, @ Mandrake-Lee and @ ahmar16 made the driver connect but without encryption. For this it is required:
- Kernel 4.9 (OpenWrt 18.06.x) compiled with debug options (or it crashes the router after: insmod mtlkroot.ko cdebug=3; insmod mtlk.ko ap=1);
- Build the driver and copy the firmware files to /lib/firmware.
Then @pc2005 posted a new source that @Smim0 was able to build and connect with encryption enabled. For this it is required:
- Kernel compiled with PCIE-MSI and some patches applied;
- Additional firmware files ProgModel_BG_nCB_39_RevA_wave300.bin and ProgModel_BG_nCB_wave300.bin;
- Compile hostapd source and wpa_supplicant with: changing CONFIG_TLS to internal, disabling all CONFIG_EAP* in hostapd/.config, removing all flags of -ltommat, and hostapd config file should have the line driver=mtlk;
Meanwhile @suleiman made the driver work with a back-port of rflib, pci express interrupt polling and hostapd_08x patches, on a standard OpenWrt image, but did not posted the patches yet.
Then I forked ahmar20 and made scripts that compiles openWrt v19.07.6 and wave300 with @suleiman instructions, being able to get a DHCP IP, but did not manage to access the internet and set encryption.
Thank you all for this hard work done.
Hi,
Successfully build OpenWrt 19.07.7, wave300 and hostapd+wpa_supplicant(new script).
I included some kernel modules (kmod-cfg80211 kmod-lib80211 kmod-mac80211 kmod-mac80211-hwsim [script is not doing this] ) on the image, because opkg complains about kernel version, even after setting the repository to my local nginx folder.
I can connect to the router, enter password and receive DHCP IP, but still not have access to internet or LAN. I am using the following commands:
insmod mtlkroot.ko cdebug=3
insmod mtlk.ko ap=1
iwpriv wlan0 sCountry ____
iwpriv wlan0 sMAC ____
iwpriv wlan0 sBridgeMode 1 # ?
iwpriv wlan0 gBridgeMode 1 # ?
iwconfig wlan0 essid ____
iwconfig wlan0 key _____
./mtlk-ap config.conf
Does anyone had those issues? ( connectivity and opkg kernel version )
Thx
are you able to reach other devices in lan?
Hi,
@targa, you can build it with: scripts remember to include kernel modules (kmod-cfg80211 kmod-lib80211 kmod-mac80211 kmod-mac80211-hwsim [script is not doing this] ), do you like me to upload the binaries?
@Smim0, with and without encryption, It does not access: internet, lan or the router.
Now LuCI is showing wireless tabs, but the configs seems to do nothing.
I didn't found anything strange on the following output and files:

for me it sounds like it is not bridged,
can you try manually
iwpriv wlan0 sBridgeMode=1
or
iwpriv wlan0 gBridgeMode=1
Hi, still but no connectivity yet, tried:
- iwpriv wlan0 sBridgeMode=1; iwpriv wlan0 gBridgeMode=1
Made another script for loading and coping drivers and firmware.
I uploaded the firm-wares that I have, but I lost "ap_upper_wave300" from your set( smim0 folder).
I believe that compiling without selecting the modem, keeps opkg magic number compatible,
because it installed local packages.
The module kmod-mac80211-hwsim is a simulator, that was giving some fake functionality.
Now "wifi config" don't work, probably because "iw list" returns: nl80211 not found.
Thx
Hi,
Got connection to lan/internet without encryption with the command:
brctl addif "br-lan" "wlan0"
ifconfig wlan0 up
When I try to establish encryption with hostapd and the wlan0 added to the bridge, it reject the connection with wrong password.
The hostapd(mtlk-ap) at the benjamin repo, is a modified version of hostapd 2.7, that can accept the wave300 driver. Probably this patch may be applied to the current 2.9 version.
The command "wifi config" will not work because the driver does not provide the newer mac80211 API, it uses the WEXT API (old and only receiving bug updates).
This also means that LuCI will not interact with it, but I believe that the script mltk.sh could do that, hostapd, bridge and /etc/config/wireless.
Sorry @garlet , I missed your answer, will try.
EDIT: Maybe you can upload the binaries, please. I have no current development system ready, and haven't done a build for quite a while. Thanks a lot.
Hi, good news!!
Connection with WPA2. Speed with google test is ~ 5.5 Mbps. Did not test iperf3 yet.
Before succeed, there was a client disconnection error that vanished. hostapd error head file.
I believe I was missing a reboot, brctl command and bridge=br-lan hostapd config.
@vittorio88, @Mandrake-Lee do you remember at what point the new cfg80211 API implementation was? and do you know if the following is correct:
The hostapd(mtlk-ap) at the benjamin repo, is a modified version of hostapd 2.7, that can accept the wave300 driver. Probably this patch may be applied to the current 2.9 version.
@targa can you first test my compile script? (its built to do everything automatic)
THX
Sorry, I have too many projects running at the same time.
@garlet: I running Ubuntu 18.04 and needed to prepare some things:
- place a softlink from libncurses.so to libncursesw.so
- softlink from openwrt git folder to /home/cross/openwrt5
- install a couple of libs
but apparently some of the required libs my system has installed already, but they're not recognized, seems I need some more preparations.
Check the build_openwrt.sh script, run and it will do everything, unless some bug appears. After that, build_wave300, then build_hostapd. I got the same OS.
Yeah, you're right, something went wrong, I started over (actually on another Bionic machine for no specific reason) and I come into ncurses menues without any "disturbance" now.
But now I see that ATH79 is configured as target architecture, I would have expected this to be Lantiq ?
Still getting the lib dep warnings (see below):

i got rid of the missing .config by calling the script from wave300 directory, but the other error hints me, I'm lacking the crosscompiler, right ?
Yes, it's not ATH, the code: (build_openwrt)
if [[ $branch > "v19.07.0" ]] || [[ $branch == "v19.07.0" ]]
then
wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/${branch:1}/targets/lantiq/xrx200/config.buildinfo -O .config

Should download the official configuration for the wave300 routers, it compiles all of them. You can set for only your router, but I believe that doing it, changes the opkg magic check.
If the official config are set, the openwrt make menuconfig, will display the lantiq architecture.
I got some warning too, I think they are the same.
Good luck
