The only openwrt release can boot from sd-card that I can find. mptcp must be disable to use as a common router.

great to hear it
I have two problems:
first I set WAN1 to dhcp and I can browse internet through LAN cable connection, but I cannot do opkg update on router, seems no internet on router,
and second:
do my WLAN card will work? it’s similar to your, Sparklan WPEA-352ACN - Qualcomm Atheros QCA9880-BR4A chipset (probably have to use ath10k driver which needs to be installed by opkg)
seems internet is working on the router, but I cannot fetch some updates:

Wget error code 8 is defined as server error…
https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/Exit-Status.html
I guess package you try to fetch does not exist…try downloading manually. Maybe ping server address, try wget on top domain (get index page).
you’re right - those packages don’t exist on server (probably build was some kind minimal)
You can modify /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf like this:

I installed:
ath10k-firmware-qca988x
kmod-ath10k
and I can see wlan0 card in console when I run “ip a”
but there’s no “wireless” tab in Luci GUI.
Do you know how to install it? (which package/s)
Sorry tu disturb, after restart I can see wireless tab in Luci
and wifi is working perfectly on both Sparklan WPEA-352ACN - Qualcomm Atheros QCA9880-BR4A and USB 2.0 Asus USB-N14 - Ralink RT5372

Are you the person which can I tell bug I found?
I have low ethernet speed (between WAN and LAN) - few KB/s
Between WAN and WLAN1 or WLAN2 is perfect.
What to check?
(i did not try tu put image from yesterday:
openmptcprouter-v0.55beta4-r0+13235-eb17ee294c-mediatek-mt7623-bpi_bananapi-r2-ext4-sdcard)
You can check if you have trgmii active on gmac 1, gmac2 is not available on default (and mine 5.4)…and look if trgmii-patches are in:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mediatek/list/?series=266293
i’m using ready to use build (not compiling by myself). Can you tell me how exactly to do it?
(besides that everything is OK in this build - except that, i have faster wifi than lan)
I made iperf3 test between bpir2 and bananapipro on lan and I can see retries:

For checking patches you need sourcecode…trgmii can be checked by sysfs
SOC-side:
cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ethernet\@1b100000/mac\@0/phy-mode
and switch-side:
cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ethernet\@1b100000/mdio-bus/switch\@0/ports/port\@6/phy-moderoot@OpenMPTCProuter:~# cat
/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ethernet@1b100000/mac@0/phy-mode
trgmiiroot@OpenMPTCProuter:~#
root@OpenMPTCProuter:~# cat
/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ethernet@1b100000/mdio-bus/switch@1
f/ports/port@6/phy-mode
trgmiiroot@OpenMPTCProuter:~#
seems both are empty
No it’s trgmii without linebreak (before username root in your prompt). But we need info that the 2 Patches above are in fixing trgmii issues. Maybe you can replace kernel with one of mine for testing?
I missed that.
Kernel - if it’s already compiled - yes
If not the procedure is the same as in linux to compile?
but at first I will upgrade beta3 to beta4 this evening - and then if it does not help I will repleace the kernel (the procedure is the same as on linux?)
I don’t know how in your image kernel is loaded.
My 5.4-main contains these patches, https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/commit/0cb5221062b693463d1725bc6c3ef124b012c741 and this https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/commit/1ff0732cf8055131050fa0c26c49429d6e725505
Compiled kernel is on github releases
I’m also experiencing a slowness issue on OpenWRT using latest 5.4.39 kernel. I have the OpenWRT fork https://github.com/cioby23/openwrt using patches gathered by @smaller09 and using kernel 5.4.31 released over one month ago which works fine without issues.
Recently I tried again to apply the same patches on the latest trunk, it compiled successfully but I can barely load a web page and it times out. I guess something has changed between kernel releases 5.4.31 and 5.4.39.
I do not see any errors only slowness when my PC is connected on the LAN ports of the BPI-R2
