<blocktrron>
it's onboard on the SoC
<blocktrron>
the BB is external, it was a 2x2 dbdc mtk one.
<blocktrron>
i didn't yet have a lot of time, WiFi support is currently absent in mt76 also
<\x>
robimarko: fw mode 1 is no go currently on 60xx, technically it does boot and shows me that 128 max stations limit, but when I boot with wifi enabled, I am greeted by this https://pastebin.com/raw/hWywFAiP doesnt matter if q6 region is 0x03700000 or 0x05500000.
<\x>
blocktrron: yeah, theres a cheap kinda hot-seeling device with that, so I gues its the same 7976
<\x>
robimarko: yeah so for now, it really is a no-go.
<\x>
maybe theres a combo thatll work but I really dont have that much time to iterate on those. What I tried so far is vendor FCC bdwlan + ath11k-2.7 firmware
<\x>
can still try 2.5 and like boardfile from the quic repo but those are sluggish so mehhh
<blocktrron>
\x: this one is heavily subsidized
<\x>
blocktrron: yup, it is for china telecom.
<blocktrron>
Not sure if they still use their own nand mapping bs with their reference designs
<\x>
branded by qihoo. He had to do a bootloader mod for it it seems, but It seems thats kinda optional. But yeah not bad. 8.5k on coremark multi thread
<robimarko>
blocktrron: I would be shocked if they did not
<blocktrron>
The UniFi one has 4GB of Flash (eMMC), so it's not mush of a concern with that board
<\x>
blocktrron: hanwckf explained it, theres a post for that, he even published his modded uboot source
<blocktrron>
robimarko: any idea why they still go with that BS
<robimarko>
\x: Honestly, no time to think about everything that is broken on IPQ60xx, that thing has basic stuff broken or using QCA hacks
<robimarko>
So WLAN is fairly low on the list
<robimarko>
blocktrron: No idea, they just seem to like using that
<robimarko>
I hope they got rid of that
<\x>
it does work anyway but yeah maan, I feel like I shouldve just waited. Well I already have this so I just have to find things that werks
<blocktrron>
If it involves reflashing bootloader on NAND, where you have to temporarily store the caldata in RAM, this is not a viable option for me
<\x>
well
<\x>
mtd write ...
<\x>
so its not for ya hehe
<blocktrron>
I admire the work daniel put into the Linksys / Belkin project to push mt7622 mainline, but keeping this this way is not suitable
<blocktrron>
For me (personally) this is fine.
<blocktrron>
But I do this for our wireless network project where i don't feel right to recommend to people not familiar with the consequences to rewrite their bootloader
<robimarko>
Has the SPI NAND support on 7622 ever been sorted out?
<robimarko>
Cause, I know they had some kind of engine for that that
<blocktrron>
This adds an additional entry barrier, and on the level we operate at, voring with our purchase power is the only thing we have left
<\x>
heh, the mt7981 users are complaining with memory. with 256MB they only get 80MB free to run their tunnels. so I guess 512MB really is what you want for these unless all you want to do is AP

<Borromini>
i saw Gl.iNet selling one (Brume 2) and it comes with 1 GB apparently
<\x>
that one is kinda wtf on ports. 255GbE + 1GbE like why
<robimarko>
Why not?
<\x>
and sell it like Glinet Brume2/MT2500A, though I guess in technicalities theyre right.
<Borromini>
\x: the number is always the speeds afaik, at least with their wifi stuff it tends to be
<Borromini>
AC750, MT750, ...

<f00b4r0>
I seem to vaguely remember that MT7603 is a problem child best avoided, am I mistaken?
<Borromini>
as a 2,4 GHz radio?
<Borromini>
i thought the signal/range issues were mostly fixed by now
<Borromini>
MT7615 does 2,4 GHz as well if you need it to be MediaTek
<Znevna>
since i'm done playing with RB750Gr3 for now, I can do some tests later with the two C6U I have around, those have a MT7603E for 2.4GHz
<\x>
they kinda suck, 40MHz is also pointless on them. I have two units with those, a Newifi 3 D2 and WR1200JS. they suck for reals, but maybe its unfair comparing it to ipq4019's 2.4GHz radio.
<robimarko>
\x: Why does TP-Link have so much better stuff for CN only
<robimarko>
That 2x 10G SFP+ is so nice
<\x>
no idea, some though will eventually end up on international but yeah not all
<robimarko>
But they had to sh*t that one up with IPQ8070A instead of the full models
<\x>
robimarko: im not really familiar with sfp and things but it costs 1199 CNY/167.5 USD on jd, same on taobao
<robimarko>
Thats not bad for a router like that
<\x>
is that reasonable for 2x SFP+ w/ 4x GbE erj45
<robimarko>
Yes, there is no competition really
<\x>
installation of custom firmware requires bootloader replacement atleast on the first topic ive seen about it
<robimarko>
\x: Did TP-Link modify the U-boot completely?
<\x>
no idea tbh
<robimarko>
Cause, I have seen a lot of CN forums advertise replacing the bootloader when in 99% of the cases its not required
<robimarko>
From the small snippet, that looks like standard QCA U-boot
<robimarko>
So, no need to replace iot
<robimarko>
Even if secure boot is enabled, you can just replace the default bootcmd
<robimarko>
We are doing that on Qnap and Dynalink and they work great
<\x>
bootm hackery like the dynalink heh?
<robimarko>
Yeah, just replace the default bootcmd to do it manually instead of calling bootipq which will check the image
<robimarko>
You got me intrigued with this one
<robimarko>
Any non Taobao/Asia only markets?
<\x>
nope
<\x>
youll have to go with an agent
<robimarko>
Yeah, not that interested
<\x>
I dont think this has wifi so itll be safe to just ship it as "network switch"
<\x>
thats what I do
<robimarko>
It having or not having WiFi doesnt matter for importing for yourself
<robimarko>
At least not in my Country
<\x>
ah, well here that has issues
<robimarko>
But shipping and then VAT on top get quite expensive
<\x>
so when I buy these from chinese markets, taobao wont ship them directly if they have wifi. so I go to through an agent and then yeah "network switch"
<\x>
I dont get VAT since theres that asean-china trade deal, but it would really suck for like europeans heh.
<\x>
well, if youre really interested maybe you can get in touch with like ptp52, pussazuki, aiamadeus etc etc. maybe they can handle it for you
<\x>
theyre regulars there on github on these things
<robimarko>
Damn, TP-Link has some cool CN only stuff
<robimarko>
I am not that interested as then it will get extreme pricy
<robimarko>
I have spent too much on development routers anyway
<\x>
maybe itll hit international markets, who knows.
<\x>
hah, I guess you dont get that treatment here where people literally send stuff to a dev/porter to do stuff with it. ofourse people that sent them over do expect something that runs on it after that ;)
<robimarko>
You can get that only for the cheap stuff
<robimarko>
There were some donations in the beggining but that was enough for one device
<robimarko>
Also, I am quite clear on the no promises, this is what I do in my free time
<f00b4r0>
yeah donations are clearly less frequent than they used to be :)
<\x>
maybe if enough people inquire on tp link on other markets about it, maybe theyll consider but yeah idk.
<f00b4r0>
my two mac laptops won't ping each other anymore and I can't see why :/

hmm so it looks like my AP is preventing client-to-client comms despite "isolate clients" not being enabled. /me scratches head
cbeznea has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
<PaulFertser>
f00b4r0: by default OpenWrt enables hostapd client isolations and communication happens via the bridge device iirc.
<PaulFertser>
That's supposed to help when multicast traffic is used, and multicast to unicast auto conversion is enabled or something.
<f00b4r0>
i'm talking about option "isolate" in config wireless
<PaulFertser>
Yes, even with it not enabled ap_isolate=1 is still set in hostapd config.
<PaulFertser>
(and bridge is put in hairpin mode or something)
<f00b4r0>
maybe I should rephrase
<f00b4r0>
everything was working just fine, and now it doesn't. Configuration unchanged.
<PaulFertser>
Yes, my point is that probably Linux software bridge got in a weird state.
<f00b4r0>
hmm

Hello! I'm attempting to convert the whw01 to DSA and I honestly don't have any idea as to what I'm doing. Could anyone point me to an example of a device that was converted to DSA successfully so I might be able to glean some ideas as to how to do it?

I think that was the same guy i told earlier on the forum to run git blame on the ipq40xx image Makefile

plenty of DSA converted devices in there I'd say
