Would this be of use to me then?
This topic is to discuss community builds (not supported by Openwrt) for target Qualcommax that include the QCA QSDK software - https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/qsdk + Openwrt.
If you want to know more about NSS, how to build, configure a build or just download a pre-build image for your device please head to (please note that the README is being updated at the moment)
I'm searching through the thread, and found this post in particular intriguing:
It's worth a shot. I made some significant changes to the way NSS firmware is handled, so as to account ipq807x, ipq6018, and ipq5018.
Do note, some patches will need to be update because they assume IPQ807x, when in fact IPQ60xx would be supported. I don't have any boards to test it on, so any help is appreciated.
Because of its mention of the IPQ5018, which is basically what is in my MX5500:
And later on, this one from Brainslayer:
i havent published by new wifi drivers yet. they will have full support for ipq5018 (kernel patches required too) and fix alot of bugs for roaming and also wifi firmware crashes for mbssid configurations. since i'm not working on openwrt codebase for me its best if i just give my patches on top of @qosmio 's work to him, so he can do a peer review since this patch is not that small. it also will fix signal chain report and signal reporting at all for all chipsets i tested.

roo…
In fact, moving through that thread, I see direct mention of the IPQ5018, and even posts by George, who got hte MX5500 code working, so ... this might be the way to go.
Just a lot of research I gotta do lol.
