do you know if zigbee works? it's not mentioned on the wiki page...
<f00b4r0>
afaik it doesn't.
<f00b4r0>
back when I last checked there was no driver for the chip but a quick google search suggests this may have changed

What does that "congestion antenna" do?
<ryanrsrs>
it's for a dedicated 2.4/5 wifi radio
<sur5r>
As a fallback?
<ryanrsrs>
do stuff like continual band scanning, checking noise on other channels, without disrupting data transfer to clients
<sur5r>
Ah
<sur5r>
Fancy
<ryanrsrs>
common on enterprise APs
<sur5r>
TIL
<ryanrsrs>
for rogue AP detection I think

I guess the true purpose of the bootloader write-protect screw is to allow programming during manufacture, but lock it down during assembly, without adding an extra step.
<ryanrsrs>
Google was also big on signed firmware for this thing, so it probably relates to that.

Its kernel menuconfig contains "OpenWrt specific image command line hack": https://ibb.co/KwXFRTZ
<fda>
Is this options part of official kernel? Or uses AVM Openwrt patches in its latest fritzos 8?

Sadly AVM is to silly to provide kernel patches but instead they provide only patsched sources

Hi there, I would like to add a new ubus handler for hostapd that involves using a nested table like `ubus call hostapd foo '{"foo":1, "nested_table": {"bar": 2, "baz": "xyz"}}'`.
<ar7ch>
I am not sure how to implement "nested_table" using blobmsg_policy, though. There is a BLOBMSG_TYPE_TABLE, but how to specify policy within that table type? Could someone provide a snippet for this? Thanks

fda: that is the OEM firmware, based on the SOC vendor's SDK - it's not OpenWrt at all (there are remnants underneath, but heavily messed up and materially different from normal OpenWrt) and it won't get you much closer to running real OpenWrt on the device (nor can we help you with the details about it, it's just too different)

@slh i was just wondering avm uses openwrt things!
<fda>
i diffed it and it seems the lantic realted things are from openwrt
<slh>
aside from the kernel, its proprietary drivers, a different config backend and lots of binary-only/ closed source packages

yes, the drivers for dect or isdn are closed source kernel modules

Hello, is there anyone could have contact with odhcp6c's maintainer(Hans Dedecker, dedeckeh) these days? Seems odhcp6c haven't been maintained for over one year.

Could be that as well, its one of the bcm targets

I guess that is one way to force people to DTS finally

robimarko: the mac80211 ath9k patches basically use the platform_data struct for both mach files and OF based setups. Too convoluted for me to unravel.
<Mangix>
some of the patches in mac80211 are very strange.
<robimarko>
Indeed
<robimarko>
I am not sure why most of the ath9k patches are not upstreamed

Some of them look like outdated hacks,
<robimarko>
Plus, they are all just plain diffs so I have no idea what was the intention
<robimarko>
I hate those, their purpose just gets lost all of the time

ChatGPT says: The update to configure seems to be aimed at avoiding a fatal error when readline and flex compatibility issues arise, opting to silently allow the configuration to continue.
