I can force start up of the interface by adding some lines to driver/wireless/driver/linux/core.c

In particular, in function _mtlk_core_country_code_set_default
I added:

uint8 country_code = country_to_country_code("GB");

This sets a value for the country code.

And in function _mtlk_core_mbss_check_activation_params

char * test_essid = "test";
mtlk_pdb_set_string(mtlk_vap_get_param_db(nic->vap_handle), PARAM_DB_CORE_ESSID, test_essid);

This sets a default value for ESSID.

Once I run ifconfig wlan1 up I get the following dmesg output:

However, the router reboots a few seconds later

Hi Blackadder,
Maybe it's a longshot, but in the sources from Vittorio88, there's a folder /scripts that looks to me like a CLI to setup the wave300.
https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files … 46-GPL.zip
More in particular, there's a script called mtk_init_country.sh
https://pastebin.com/Ya25wQ2C
I believe this can be of some help.
Good luck!

Does anyone know how to set the country code?

Thanks Mandrake. Will take a look at this next

I have to find files of my source code - I put them on some external HDD. I also had a list of more advanced settings, like 20/40MHz, isolation. Give me some days.

Anyway almost all (no WPA) things can be set with iwpriv - at least ESSID, channel. Do not write own 'test' to source code.
I forgot to tell you, that you should check the MAC address - in common cases driver fails with that.

I told about rflib, because GPLed 3.1 has a rflib binary bloob instead - to not use 3.1. 3.1 has a serious stability problems too.

On LEDE you should install wireless tools. mtlk driver has no support of linux cfg80211.

@blackadder1000 try to decrease the debug level (OOM?) and set essid with iwpriv, revert your patch. And try again

Hello

I've stuck on "insmod" drivers (kernel panic). I'm using "TP-LINK TD-W8980" profile to compile drivers. I tried lede-17.01 branch (kernel 4.4.87) and with tag 17.01.1 (kernel 4.4.61). What's funny that drivers compiled on 4.4.87 showing at least :

[58956.672810] ap_upper.bin: @@@ VERSION INFO @@@ version number: FW_3.2.1_r5437 MIPS:  Upper CPU(TMC AGG AP) interface: PCI  phy type: real phy on Mar 28 2012 at 11:00:01@@@ END @@@
[58956.672810] contr_lm.bin: @@@ VERSION INFO @@@ version number: FW_3.2.1_r5437 MIPS:  Lower MAC  interface: --  phy type: real phy on Mar 28 2012 at 10:59:46@@@ END @@@

Under 4.4.61 I don't have those lines.

To be clear I'm using LEDE 17.01.1 firmware for W8980 on W9980. As I'm not so smart as YOU (I don't know where you get such huge knowledge), I'm stuck and waiting for your action.

Cheers wyatt_

@lpm11 Thanks for the advice.

I can get the correct settings using the following commands:

iwpriv wlan1 sCountry GB
iwconfig wlan1 essid test
iwconfig wlan1 channel 52

I can then bring the interface up

Still finding the router crashes after a few seconds. Will keep looking at it. I'm not running with any explicit debugging i.e. I'm loading the modules with no debug switches.

Looks like kernel panic. Without crash dump it is hard to say what is happening You have to connect to UART

I found only some very old staff for mips - uploaded it here https://ufile.io/rczdo
Try to extract content to rootfs, reboot router and check for /etc/config/wireless if it could be configured from here.

Please also provide and set macaddr in wireless config file, or it will not work.

I have to check if I have something newer, but I am afraid that it is lost.

Hello,

I have wiped everything, and started again using latest code for LEDE and OpenWRT.
I have submitted, and had merged into LEDE trunk the patch to enable the GPIO for resetting PCI to enable the WAVE300 on the VR200v platform.

I have not submitted the slightly different patch to enable PCI for OpenWRT. I believe from some mailing list discussions that the main OpenWRT buildsystem repository was going to get replaced by the LEDE buildsystem, and it seems they haven't been taking in that many pulls.

Using LEDE, I have been able to get past multiple issues.
The first issue I had, my built .ko modules were not printing anything upon insmod.
The second issue I had, (also wyatt_, it seems), was a kernel panic shorty after firmware was loaded

Both these issues are fixed, however I am not sure if it was fixed by removing and recreating the entire environment and building the the latest LEDE trunk or by using blackadder1000's method for insmodding the the driver:

insmod mtlkroot.ko cdebug=2
insmod mtlk.ko ap=1 debug=2

Anyway, now the driver loads (finally!), and I am at the point where blackadder1000 was.
I have not yet tried to set the country.
Here is my LEDE trunk log:

Hi,

@Developers. I do not have UART in my platform. Instead of it, I have compiled my LEDE image with kernel option ->General Setup->Crash Logging

The image must be flashed afterwards to your router.

The benefit is that after any kernel panic and following reboot, the last log file will be stored at:

/sys/kernel/debug/crashlog

@Vittorio88. No disrespect to Openwrt, we are borrowing their forum in fact, but we should focus on the working platform and the many issues with the driver. However, you can look into linux sources for error code -16. It must be an IRQ issue.

Hello,

I originally used LEDE, however I fell back to OpenWRT when I couldn't get LEDE to work with my build. Since it is older, it is "closer" to the driver, so it may actually work where LEDE would not.

Now that I have started from scratch, I am testing with both, trying to see where each gets me.

I followed blackadder1000's steps to bring up the interface. I got the same result, it started up, then crashed.
I was connected through a serial connection, so I managed to get the output.

The only difference is that my WAV300 is BGN instead of AN, so the firmware were not included in the firmware zip provided by lpm11.

For reference: After digging through various GPL dumps, I noticed the latest one I posted actually has most firmwares for various chips each with various versions under the path: package\lantiq-wave300\files\root\mtlk\images\progmodels\wave300\

A few WAVE400 firmwares are also there in case anybody cares.

After erroring out on ifconfig wlan0 up the driver would ask for a missing firmware in dmesg.
To fix it, I placed the following in /lib/firmware:

ProgModel_BG_CB.bin

ProgModel_BG_CB_38_RevB.bin

ProgModel_BG_nCB.bin

ProgModel_BG_nCB_38_RevB.bin

NOTE: the files had a "_wav300" at the end of their names. I had to rename each of the files to strip this so the driver would find them.

Anyway here is the log:

To me, now the culprit seems to be around the mtlk_nl_send_brd_msg() function. Interestingly, the OpenWRT build I had tried previously errored out at the same function, however during the insmod not ifconfig up command..

Also, I wrote some script for the wireless config file. Does it look ok?

config wifi-device 'radio1'
    option type 'mtlk'
    option macaddr '00:09:86:00:00:00'
    option channel '52'
    option hwmode '11a
    option txpower '15'
    option country 'GB'

config wifi-iface
    option device 'radio1'
    option mode 'ap'
    option ssid 'test'
    option network 'lan'
    option encryption 'psk2'
    option key 'test5g'

With this code in place, at the moment, my router won't bring up wifi (i.e. radio0 doesn't come up) on a reboot. I guess because radio1 isn't present until I load the kernel modules for mtlk.

@blackadder1000 - it looks ok

@vittorio88 @blackadder1000 problem is the same.
Could you try to swap the option in menuconfig MTCFG_USE_GENL (enable it if it was not set, or disable if it was set), recompile and check again.
I am afraid I have no idea about netlink sockets.

@lpm11 That change seems to have done it. No crashes so far.
My CONFIG_USE_GENL was enabled. It is now disabled.

To achieve this I enabled the option 'Don't use generic netlink socket' in make menuconfig -> Features

Now looking at config. With my wireless config setup including the radio1 code from my previous post (as well as my regular radio0 code) I get no interfaces (wlan0 - 2.4GHz or wlan1 - 5GHz). Not seeing any dmesg errors and I don't know where openwrt puts errors associated with config files.

Separately, I tried scanning with "iwlist wlan1 scan" but I get the error "Interface doesn't support scanning : Resource busy".
dmesg shows the following error:

 mtlk4(_mtlk_core_async_clb:376): Requested ability 0x1000007 is disabled or never was registered

Thats great, congratulations!!

I think that scanning just doesn't work in ap mode. Driver internally does scans, but it is not possible to get the results.

I'm making some progress but not quite there.

I can't get mtlk-ap and mtlk-sta to work at all. If I run "sh mtlk-ap", just to test it, it errors:

mtlk-ap: line 1: syntax error: unexpected "("

But I don't think I need it(?)

@lpm11 I can get v. close using your mtlk.sh script. I've had to modify it a bit, firstly to change "mtlk0" to "wlan1".
And to get around the fact that mtlk-ap isn't working I'm using iwconfig to set up the ssid, which would otherwise be set with mtlk-ap.

So I added, to mtlk.sh, the line:

[ "$ssid" ] && iwconfig "$iface" essid "$ssid"

As I've mentioned a few times I've also set up /etc/config/wireless, as mentioned in previous posts

Placing mtlk.sh in /lib/wifi and the kernel modules in /lib/modules/4.4.14 means that on reboot openwrt configures the interface with channel, ssid etc. and I can simply bring it up with "ifconfig wlan1 up".

My final piece is getting the interface to pass traffic. I can connect to the test network ssid with a static ip address but can't get traffic going.

The mtlk.sh configures the interface on a bridge with brctl addif br-"$network" "$iface"
which I can confirm with "brctl show" but no traffic so far.

So bad It seems that these binaries are incompatible with LEDE.
They was prepared to work with OpenWRT AA.

Actually mtlk-ap is just hostapd with support for mtlk driver.

You have to compile hostapd with the mtlk driver from github (https://github.com/benjaminlevine/WAVE3 … ver_mtlk.c), probably do a manual merge. After that, please rename hostapd to mtlk-ap - script mtlk.sh should launch it.
Do not add official LEDE/OpenWRT patches for wpad/hostapd to this compilation.

The similar thing is with wpa_supplicant, but this case wext driver works - no need for patching.

I've cross compiled hostapd-2.6 with the manual merge of the mtlk driver.

hostapd (renamed to mtlk-ap) runs on my hardware and is placed in /sbin. The script mtlk.sh, together with mtlk-ap configures the WAVE300 hardware (i.e. it sets as SSID which I was previously having to do with iwconfig).

However, I still have no network traffic, no dhcp etc.
Are there further ways I can test mtlk-ap?

Hi,

@blackadder1000, is the SSID visible from other devices?

I tried disabling CONFIG_USE_GENL as well, however I have a new issue upon insmodding.

Any ideas?

I did successfully compile hostapd but not wpa_supplicant. I get undefined reference errors as follows:

/root/WAVE300/hostap08/hostapd/../src/wps/wps_registrar.c:3080: undefined reference to `upnp_wps_device_send_wlan_event'
/root/WAVE300/hostap08/hostapd/../src/crypto/tls_internal.c:50: undefined reference to `tlsv1_server_global_init'

@vittorio88 Yes the SSID is visible from other devices and I can connect successfully if I set a static ip address.

Sorry about your further problems.

Regarding hostapd: you can try a newer version of hostapd with the patch here:

Cool, if you can connect, then I believe that means hostapd is working to an extent.
Do pings pass?

Good work with the hostapd-devel-mtlk repo.

I am still having driver issues unfortunately. I am testing with the following commands before throwing hostapd into the mix:

iwpriv wlan0 sCountry IT
iwconfig wlan0 essid test-vitto
iwconfig wlan0 channel 1
ifconfig wlan0 up

No, unfortunately pings don't pass.

Does your hardware support channel 1?
What does "iwlist wlan0 channel" report?

My hardware only supports channel 36 and above.

As I remember, mtlk.sh script should add mtlk0 interface to bridge lan interface, set parameter with iwpriw and in hostapd config.

After that it should work, but I do not remember exact names of these params - look at the mtlk.sh.
If it does not, maybe older hostapd is needed.

I'm trying hostapd 0.8 - the one included with the WAVE300 sources. It should work. right? I mean it comes with the driver sources!

All compiles fine.

Here's my hostapd config (generated by mtlk.sh, with an addition to specify hw_mode):

driver=mtlk
interface=wlan1
channel=40
bridge=br-lan
ssid=testing5g
hw_mode=a

Here's the hostapd/mtlk-ap error log:

Something like this:

IEEE 802.1X: Ignore STA - 802.1X not enabled or forced for WPS

is probably a problem. No idea at this moment (maybe inspecting into a source code is needed), but is WPS disabled? All my tests were on disabled WPS.

Hi Blackadder1000,

This sounds more to me like a hostapd configuration problem.

The frequency of 0 MHz in your log is fishy, isn't it?

Mode: IEEE 802.11a  Channel: 40  Frequency: 0 MHz

I'd suggest you add to your file:

ieee80211n=1
ht_capab=[HT40-]

Thanks for your efforts and good luck,
Mandrake
