@blackadder1000, have you used the original firmware files (.bin) for your TD-W8980 router? I was wondering if, in order to have this "CHI magic" coming, we need to upload the specific firmware for the chipset. In this case yours is PSB8224
@Mandrake
I'm using the original firmware files from the 8980 firmware dated 14/05/2015 (I believe the last one issued). Extracted the files using binwalk from /lib/firmware
Here's a listing of the files there (ignore the permissions):

Hi all,
I'm trying to enable 5 GHz wireless on my TP-LINK 9980 (it use WAVE 300 too) for a while.
From this I read this topic, I don't sure if WAVE 300 5 GHz work on openWrt now or not ?
I've download from Mandrake-Lee and vittorio88 's github.
and unrar it, I don't know how to install it. Can you guide me how to install it on openWrt ? what command to execute ?
for my information
I've use flash version 8970 and I can now bring up 2.4 GHz.

You are overwriting the LDFLAGS variable instead of adding to it.
In my environment, the first variable is correct, and you shouldn't point to the TOOLCHAIN path, yet the target-mips path for -L of LDFLAGS.
Good luck!

Nobody has gotten it to work yet, however it seems good progress is being made.
You need to download the OpenWRT SDK first.
You can then follow the instructions in INSTRUCTIONS.txt to compile the driver.
If you are not familiar with cross-compiling, then you should wait until someone gets the driver to work unless you intend to spend hundreds of hours on it.
thanks vittorio88,
I'll try follow your instruction, don't care what time it takes.
If I can help this chip work, there will be new things to do with this device a lot more.
I'll update you if I go any further.
fight on!!!

Hello everyone,
I have merged all changes from Vittorio88 into the branch "Dual-license"
Also I have made some fixes and updated the instructions.txt in order to show a workaround for the "-lnl" issue. I will explain here at the end
Please all testers, download the sources from https://github.com/Mandrake-Lee/WAVE300 … se-BSD_GPL.
Our goal is to make everything self-explanatory but cross-compiling is not an out-of-the-box thing. You need to invest some time reading and learning
Also you can check the wiki https://github.com/Mandrake-Lee/WAVE300/wiki and support it. I will try to do updates whenever it is significant
Regarding the -lnl issue, bear in mind this only happens if MTTOOLS are to be built. Basically the original code was designed to use libnl package. For our purposes, libnl-tiny is good enough and this is also the default package in openwrt/LEDE. Therefore the code is searching for a library named "libnl.so" whereas we have a "libnl-tiny.so".
If this is your case, just rename the file to "libnl.so" and you will have it. At least that worked for me 
Regards!
Hello everybody!
Thanks Mandrake for taking the time to bring in my code.
I advise everybody to work off of Mandrake's branch now.
I am still stuck at the driver not printing anything.
In order to further troubleshoot, I would be grateful if one (Mandrake or blackadder1000) of you shared your built kernel modules with me. (I have shared my contact info on this thread already)
I am working with the following specs:
Mandrake's latest sources on branch Dual-License-BSD_GPL
target: UGW5.1 for VRX288
package: libnl-tiny
distro: lede-sdk-17.01.2-lantiq-xrx200_gcc-5.4.0_musl-1.1.16.Linux-x86_64
It doesn't have to match all the specs, but I believe VRX288 and lede 17.x.y are hard-requirements for the kernel module to load on my target.
Thanks,
Vittorio
GPL Dumps! We have fresh GPL Dumps! Get 'em while they're hot!
https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files … 46-GPL.zip
Note: there is also a 1.0.0.50 version, however, it appears Netgear has pulled it because I get an invalid link error...
In here I found:
D6100_V1.0.0.46_0.0.46_src_GPL/package/lantiq-wave300/src-3.4.1.0.22_Custom.00.09.71efed499d43
Before you get too excited, I checked, and it appears the driver source files have been omitted 
There are, however, interesting release notes, and a bucket-load of firmware images.
I hope this can help, possibly those that are stuck "waiting for CHI magic".
Hello guys.
I've got a question. Where I can find bin files for driver?
I was able to compile driver for my TD-W9980 and I'd like to test it.
Cheers wyatt_
Hi Wyatt_,
I'd suggest you get the ones in the post of Vittorio88, the bins with "wave300" in the name.
You have to dig a bit in the tarball but it's not complicated.
I'd say that firmware it's the best bet we can make today.
You will have to rename some files though.
https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files … 46-GPL.zip
Mandrake
Thanks Mandrake
There are lot's of files. How do you know which files are required? I was following INSTRUCTIONS.txt and bin files have different than in netgear zip.
I'm aware that you're still working on it.

This new driver source is useless
1)
Only usable sources are from 3.2 branch, from https://github.com/Mandrake-Lee/WAVE300, even GPLed 3.1 is useless (missing sources for RF). And radio fw should match to this version - so you should try firmware from 3.2.
I think the newest you can find is TD-W8980_V1_131012.zip , please extract them with 7zip or download from here
https://ufile.io/yha8i
You should modprobe mtlk driver with parameter ap=1 - this is necessary to set an access point!
This should be sufficient to boot radio chip (fw sends CHI Magic packet to driver and unusable mtlk0 interface appears).
Next stages:
2) you should copy 4 ProgModel files, to be able to do scanning (it is necessary to bring interface up, as mtlk driver verifies for possible bandwidth 40/20 MHz)
3) verify with ifconfig mtlk0 up - it will take start scanning and finally brings interface up (you will see a new wireless network)
...
4) For WPA, an old version for hostapd is needed (1.1 works, I don't remeber if 2.1 too). wpad from LEDE will not work - mtlk driver for hostapd conflicts with LEDE patches, and after compiling it just doesn't work.
I can find a binary blob, customized to work with OpenWRT AA (in both AP and sta mode). Atheros/Qualcomm driver should use standard wpad from LEDE.
5) I have the driver for OpenWRT to work with mtlk driver, it needs LuCI patches and library patching to get statistics (IOCTL) about connected clients. It should work with LEDE

Wow Lpm11!
This seems like the last piece of the jigsaw in order to bring up the driver. Greatly appreciated.
Gents (Vittorio, Wyatt_, Apirak, Blackadder), if you can confirm points 1 to 3, I will update the sources with these instructions and the link with the only useable firmware files.
Unfortunately, my platform utilizes PCIe and the lantiq driver is broken. I need first to repair that before testing anything.
@Lpm11, is there a kind of checking between the loaded firmware and rflib? If so, it could be removed from the sources and be more flexible.
Regarding point 4; it would be great if you could share what you made and we will figure out how to overcome the wpa issue.
Little by little guys,
Mandrake

[58958.195039] ---[ end trace 36e978c98dada3d6 ]---Hi all,
Sad to say but I'm quite used now to not progress as far as we want.
Nonetheless, this a big leap forward!
I have updated the documentation in the git in order to reflect the latest findings regarding the firmware.
In particular I have created a README_FW inside /lantiq_fw. Here we can find the link to the working binaries.
https://github.com/Mandrake-Lee/WAVE300 … se-BSD_GPL
Take care,
Mandrake
I am pleased to report that lpm11's firmware loads correctly on my hardware.
Please see the OTT dmesg log here:
https://pastebin.com/wkQ7yNjm
I loaded the kernel modules as follows:
insmod mtlkroot.ko cdebug=2
insmod mtlk.ko ap=1 debug=2
(note that mtlk.ko uses debug and mtlkroot.ko uses cdebug)
I copied lpm11's ProgModel files to /lib/firmware
However, I can't currently bring the interface up. I have a new interface wlan1 but the command:
ifconfig wlan1 up
errors "ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable"
I'll keep working this problem
Thanks all!
when I try to bring the interface up dmesg reports:
[0000182056] mtlk3(_mtlk_core_ap_set_initial_channel:3319): CID-0000: Failed to open - Country not specified
[ 482.178127] [0000182064] mtlk3(_mtlk_core_activate:3384): Cannot set initial channel (-14)
Does anyone know how to set the country code?
Hi Blackadder,
Maybe it's a longshot, but in the sources from Vittorio88, there's a folder /scripts that looks to me like a CLI to setup the wave300.
https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files … 46-GPL.zip
More in particular, there's a script called mtk_init_country.sh
https://pastebin.com/Ya25wQ2C
I believe this can be of some help.
Good luck!
Mandrake
