Openwrt trunk now officially supports the required 233 for Banana Pi BPI-R4 + BE14 Wifi module

Can confirm. Was building a new image using imagebuilder last night and was quite happy to see that the wifi interfaces are working out of the box.

I only got working wifi on the radio0 and radio1 interfaces, so 2.4GHz and 5GHz, but not on the radio2.

Adding a network to the radio2 results in this

Can anyone confirm what I am seeing?

… please read instructions on how to enable 6GHz radio in openWRT Forum:

totkeks · October 1, 2024, 6:00pm

Had those already. Issue was, that the default network created using luci/uci does not have a password set. This is not allowed for 6G. Found the error message in the hostapd log. Just in case anyone else comes across this.

EPinci · October 15, 2024, 9:46pm

Building from trunk with the MTK SDK I was able to get the 3 radios working. I have 6g with EHT160, anyone has been able to enable EHT320 on the 6g?

320mhz BW is not allowed in IT, might be regdb is not updated in MTK SDK image. Try to change to country like US, CA or JP. then check the results. Also recommends don’t depends on ACS to select the channel. try to select it manually by setting

option channel '5'

EPinci · October 16, 2024, 9:03pm

I’m building my own image from snapshot with the MTK SDK. Do you know how can update the regdb? I’m fairly certain 320mhz bw is allowed in IT (or, at the very least, I see a whole bunch of products that do allow it in here).

nezar_taima · October 16, 2024, 9:58pm

share their repo URL and let me check if could be done, if yes will send you a private message how to do it.

EPinci · October 17, 2024, 9:40pm

It’s the official MTK repo: openwrt/feeds/mtk-openwrt-feeds - Gitiles (mediatek.com) I build my images following the instructions for snapshot.

What does dmesg say about ethernet? Should be pretty early in the boot log.

SSIV · January 5, 2025, 1:11pm

Dmesg: OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc4 r28211-d55754ce0d_dmesg.txt (50.7 KB) Nothing too exciting. WAN simply got 1Gbps, whereas LAN 100Mbps. Cut the rest of the dmesg, it’s just expected, error-free, wireless module spam.

EDIT: Added dmesg inline, instead of pastebin, per @totkeks recommendation.

totkeks · January 5, 2025, 1:27pm

Mt7530 mmio is definitely the wrong driver for the lan ports. Those should use the same as eth0, which is mtk ethernet.

Also you can paste logs here in the forum. Use the code button to format them properly.
