Did anyone manage to get wed working? I added the firmware and dts but I think mt76 needs some changes too.

Edit: I got it to load the firmware eventually with some dts changes but still getting some errors during test.

try Releases · danpawlik/openwrt-builder · GitHub - it’s openwrt snapshot with mediatek BE14 firmware/drivers

From what I quickly check it only includes the basic stuff, not WED. I tried to add WED support in this commit but there are some warnings/errors when running some speed tests.

Are you sure you have the right firmware for be14 (from sdk)? Can you make an extra topic for wed support for easier tracking with the errors/warnings you see?

you can refer to below patch to enable WED support.

Can MediaTek release those firmware files under the usual redistributable license and push them to linux-firmware repo?

Ok, we’ll send fw files to linux-firmware repo. After upstreaming is complete, Could you help add it as formal package in Openwrt trunk?

Sure, I’ll do that as soon as the files have arrived in linux-firmware.
