Hi Imre, On the dgl5500 the mac in the eeprom is the same on all devices (and iirc it's the default mac the firmware also uses). Patching it to the right one in the firmware file is what happens in 82_patch_ath10k. I am not very familiar with ath10k, but why are you not patching the calibration data instead (like other devices do it in target/linux/ar71xx/base-files/lib/preinit/81_load_ath10k_board_bin)? ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel

[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH 0/2] mac80211: Update QCA9880 firmware (ath10k)
Current firmware version for QCA9880 is known to stall for some time when a station in power saving mode (e.g. mobile phone) leaves the AP range. This stall causes ath10k timeouts during station removal and subsequently firmware thinks station is still connected, causing Spurios quick kickout for STA -messages in kernel log. A fix is to use a newer firmware where this problem has been worked around by sending management frames via normal packet transport channel instead of the problematic management interface. These patches backport the new FW API v5 to ath10k (upstream commits 8348db2, 53513c3, and dc3632a) and change mac80211 to use the new firmware. Fixes https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/18794 (even though it is already marked as fixed).
