I’m trying to get Wifi6 working on @danpawlik Build not Wifi7.
Am I confused or missing something?
Two posts above is an answer. It is on the openwrt forum.
trace above is caused by
and it seems interface is in state NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC
if (WARN_ON(types & BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC) &&
c->beacon_int_min_gcd)) {
return -EINVAL;
}
not sure why only 1 phy is affected here (the other 2 are probed completely).
added a revert in my 6.11-rc tree and of course reported back to submitter.
Also got info that mainline patches/firmware for be14 (233) and others are prepared by mtk

You got info that they are working on the mainline patches for the BE14? That’s great news
Did you got info about what kernel they are working for? Public repo indicates that they are still working/developing for 5.4 …
Yes they talked about mainline support…downstream support (5.4) is already there.

5.4? That’s that old firmware they put out isn’t it? It’ll be great when something 6.1 or newer comes out, but it’s great they are working on it. Also thanks for all you’ve done as well.
WiFi 7 board doesn’t work for me both in MTK MP3.1 and MTK MP4.0 official builds. Radio devices always stay inactive (didn’t do anything else beside restarting devices in LuCi). I’ve got it partially working (2.4 GHz only) in a custom build by @danpawlik, so the board is at least somewhat functional. Does anyone have an idea how to get it working in Sinovoip’s OpenWrt?
Kernel log of the MTK MP3.1 build attached.
kernlog.txt (125.3 KB)
I believe you have to activate the wifi through the MTK menu instead of the network->wireless menu…
Is it just me or are the SnapShot Builds on OpenWrt faulty.
Using their link - https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=SNAPSHOT&target=mediatek%2Ffilogic&id=bananapi_bpi-r4
and downloading the SNAPSHOT (r27283-85f0128851) build to SDCard.
I can’t get any combination of enabling 2.4GHz and/or 5GHz Wifi working at all.
longterm 5.4 support ends in Dec 25 hopefully will be quicker their upgrade to 6.1 (not 5.10 nor 5.15 
)
I am using latest openwrt/main and

On your log, there is no traffic recorded. It cannot say the 6GHz band is working. If it is working, should expect some log like this:
so far just checked beacons contain EHT - stations will be next step

Could you share the image of the SD?

Thanks, all three APs work that way. Although, I can only join them so long as encryption is off…
