Maybe the chinese WDR7500 v2.0 already uses 0x75000002?
Seems possible.

How do you add a kmod to a device profile?
Just add "kmod-ath10k" to the end of
PACKAGES:=kmod-usb-core kmod-usb2 kmod-ledtrig-usbdev

Wouldn't that affect the v1 as well though? Since we aren't actually creating a new profile....

Also, I found the 7500v2 firmware on a russian website, and it does, indeed, make use of that code.

You are right, of course. On second thought, it is better to make a new profile like you originally suggested, since ath10k would just waste space on v1. Then it is enough to add just

$(eval $(call SingleProfile,TPLINK-LZMA,64kraw,ARCHERC7v2,archer-c7-v2,ARCHER-C7,ttyS0,115200,0xc7000002,1,16Mlzma))

to the Makefile, and it is not necessary to modify any other files AFAICS.

Ok, so here is what I have;
https://github.com/lbdroid/openwrt/comm … 69ccc346ca

UNTESTED

Now to figure out how to actually compile this....

So, it compiled. I have;
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v2-squashfs-factory.bin, length: 16252928
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin, length: 2883588

Anyone want to guess at how safe this might actually be to try?

Hmm interesting. It didn't build ath10k.
.config: # CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-ath10k is not set

If anybody here is in a HURRY to try this...

ARCHER C7 V2 with 16 MB flash and QCA9880-BR4A (rev 2)

Please note that I HAVE NOT YET EVEN RECEIVED MY HARDWARE FOR THIS, and so it is ENTIRELY UNTESTED and could BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN!!!!!

Binaries here;
https://github.com/lbdroid/openwrt-binaries

It does have the ath10k package, after I manually enabled it in menuconfig.

Hi! I just tried the binary on a V2, which I ordered from Korea.

web is not accessible but ping and telnet are ok. Here are some quick system information. Tell me if you need more.

After installing luci packages contained in the ar71xx imagebuilder, the web interface show up.

On the web UI, Network -> Wifi -> Enable "Generic MAC80211 802.11abgn (radio0)"

Dada! 5Ghz 11AC works! I'm using a MBPR 2013 late as the 11ac client.

Yeah, I will certainly try my best. I've never submitted anything to openwrt before though.
Do you have any thoughts on why it didn't automatically build and install ath10k?

Your mail client mangled the patch (extra whitespace at the beginning of lines, wrapped lines). If you use Thunderbird, set mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed to false in the configuration editor. Or, better yet, use git send-email.

Great stuff, will fire up my dev env and compile .. tq so much. Opss, better yet, you've the binary .. will grab that one instead

Update: Up and running by patching the profile and makefile as per your patch. Rebuilt the image with luci and ath10k support in, great stuff.

so the Archer C7 if i get a V2, it can use OpenWRT does 450mbps wireless work for N on 5ghz and will i be able to use openvpn client on it too the reason is i am after a wifi router that can take openwrt & openvpn client but also have working ac support for when i get some ac devices to make use of it as i want to be able to establish a openvpn connection from my router to my server rather than having to use a client on each machine....

and also a quick hello to you all and for all your hardwork

Well, my "hard work" was mainly just about learning where things go in openwrt source. Frankly, my patch to support the v2 is trivial.

One very important thing you need to be aware of... is that encryption/decryption (for openvpn) is a cpu heavy operation. For a router, this has a pretty strong CPU, being 720 MHz, but its just a MIPS... so don't expect it to run your WAN at super high speed with the VPN going.

the server runs on a 100/100 dedicated server in a french noc os is centos 6.5
the client was my pc with a i7 3rd gen 3770k my connection speed is 50/15 there abouts

the best i got out of it is

useually though i see around half my connection speed via the vpn for the most part though
what i get out of it is more than enough anyway so really speed is not to much of an issue
i would just like a nice strong router that is future proof and can have a minimum of 450mbps wifi
with the potential for the ac spectrum... that is why i asked the question

Wait for 3 weeks or so, then send a friendly reminder to the mailing list. As there is a lot of traffic on the list, it might initially go unnoticed. And the core developers are also rather busy.

I bought a C7 to use as a WDS AP for my network. I'm unable to get the AC card working in WDS mode. I've looked at the device capabilities using the iw command and didn't see WDS mentioned on the AC card. Anyone have an idea if I need to patch in a newer ath10k driver, or something along those lines?

Oh and I do have a V2 device.

From what I see (in code / reference to it via google / etc.), it seems that it is supposed to work with the ath10k driver, but I haven't used it and am not entirely familiar with the details.

The closest thing I can find to a reference is this; https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=11849
Which actually says something about it being in "sta" mode....

Hmm... also this;
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/clien … ion.system
and
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/recipes/atheroswds

Frankly, I'm not sure that there is any need for iw to mention anything about wds mode in order for it to function.

Looks like configuration is pretty simple;
Match ssid, encryption, and key, add "option wds '1'", one in ap mode, other in sta mode.

Hmm... I think there are quite a number of ways that you could make wds fail to work - in particular, you don't want to be building two WDS bridges on your network between only two devices, i.e., pick one or the other for the data backhaul and set THAT ONE to WDS mode. I would say probably use the 5 GHz as the WDS, since it will yield a better throughput. So on your primary AP/router, you set your 2.4 GHz to ap and not-wds. You set your 5 GHz to ap and wds. On your slave device, you set your 5 GHz to STA and WDS, you set your 2.4 GHz to AP. Mind providing more details about the network you are trying to build?

** most of the above is based on a quick study of what wds does and a significant amount of guesswork, and is not based on any kind of experience with implementation.

Which ath10k firmware are you using (look in dmesg)? There is an option in menuconfig to use STA firmware instead of AP firmware. You could try it, AP firmware may not yet support WDS. STA firmware does support AP operation as well, it's just not optimized for it.

Instead of recompiling and installing, you can just download the other firmware from https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware and overwrite firmware-2.bin in /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/. Under main directory you find the STA firmware, under 10.1 you find the AP firmware (rename the file to firmware-2.bin).

I guess I arrived at the right time. The archer c7 v2 arrived Friday afternoon. With a patch and spare clue from definesinsanity (thanks!), I was up and running in no time. luci and lsof even showed up by Monday. I'm still learning openwrt, but this is great.
