Hi all,
I just got this module for my BananaPi R4. But I notice few things using Kernel 6.19.x on my Debian OS:
- From tine to time the module response with:
[84500.371631] mt7996e 0000:01:00.0: Message 001a0034 (seq 12) timeout
To get the module back I need to power off the router and then power on.
The firmware version is the one from Debian firmware-mediatek:
[84459.396429] mt7996e 0000:01:00.0: WM Firmware Version: ____000000, Build Time: 20251111003337
[84459.436183] mt7996e 0000:01:00.0: DSP Firmware Version: ____000000, Build Time: 20251111002821
[84459.455121] mt7996e 0000:01:00.0: WA Firmware Version: ____000000, Build Time: 20251111003249
- I’m getting only one Wireless interface with mt7996e:
wlan0. I was able to create 2 more interfaces with:
sudo iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan1 type __ap
sudo iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan2 type __ap
Change the MAC addresses and run hostapd for one frequency (2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz) on each interface:
sudo hostapd -B /etc/hostapd/hostapd-wlan0.conf
sudo hostapd -B /etc/hostapd/hostapd-wlan1.conf
sudo hostapd -B /etc/hostapd/hostapd-wlan2.conf
But is strange board shows only 2.4GHz LED on even the other AP are vizible on my phone.
Is normal bevavior or there is a bug in driver and/or Firmware?
