Currently running Brainslayer's latest, r33555, on my wrt3200. Folks are not reporting issues and it appears to me he has the latest firmware installed.  Has been running fine for me for 2 plus days. Here is a dump. MAC modified of course.

cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/mwlwifi/info

I've now reverted back to the previous mwlwifi firmware for the 3200acm.  Will run this for a few days and monitor the logs.

Essentially, the router ran for 24 hours before dropping 5Ghz wifi, along with high system load. I manually rebooted the system, and then the router ran for 48 hours before it rebooted on its own.

Maybe this is the process of elimination, where after reverting back to the old firmware wifi returns to normal. The only other thing I can think of is all of the hostapd changes due to the wpa2 vulnerability.

I can also confirm the last stable build of your's david before the hostapd/wpa2 fixes the newest firmware 9.3.8 did not have any of these problems either, unknown if it is the LEDE trunk fixes for wifi security or driver that is at fault for these current problems.

Does DD-WRT have the new hostapd/wpa2 fixes, I have not heard of them going on a new image as of late.

9.3.0.7 for those who would like to go back to the previous firmware.

forgive my ignorance with lede, as i am new to the system, but how to flash the 430kb bin file for firmware only...this isnt a full snapshot, so its not loading it the same as the 15mb full bin/img, right?

You have to log into your router with a program (such as WinSCP or similar) and directly replace the firmware file.

The location is:

/lib/firmware/mwlwifi/88W8964.bin

Therefore you need to simply copy the firmware file over top of that to overwrite it.  In order for the new firmware to take affect, you need to reboot the router.

To determine which firmware version (+ driver version and more) your router is running, run the command:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/mwlwifi/info

That command can be run from WinSCP or similar program.

If you get a chance, try the other firmware.

Indeed, I checked and I was on 9.3.0.7.  It's now on 9.3.0.8 and has been up for four hours.

Wait a second... that doesn't sound right.  The latest wifi drivers have 9.3.0.8 bundled in, and that's what should have been included to start with.

I'm on 5117 and it came with 9.3.0.7.  I used this guide when building:

The latest mwlwifi commit was not pushed by LEDE trunk, so to get the latest firmware in the build it required some adjustments prior to compiling.

Hello.

I want to flash the the 4.4 to my WRT1900ACv1 containing the WPA fix.

Can I do it through wireless?
Will the router WiFi be disabled after flashing?
The router is high up in the ceiling. it would be a pain to remove it and flash thru a cable and then put it back.

1. No, don't flash through wifi - too risky.

I flashed it thru wifi. then wifi wasnt enabled by default. went back to stock by OFF And ON 3x.

If you are flashing from stock you probably got the default openwrt SSIDs and not the one(s) you "expected".

This is one of the many reasons flashing through Ethernet is better.

I'm using 9.3.0.8 firmware without the KRACK patches (my routers are all AP's only) and never had any reboots.

No SSID was broadcasting. I assume it was disabled by default like OpenWRT.

Then I guess you could open the bin file with 7zip and include the uci commands to enable the wireless somewhere near the end of the process maybe in the rc.local script.

or

Use Ethernet.
