radios, we need that the radio works good with OpenWrt and that at least

"promiscuous-AP" mode for hostapd, of which I have presented some
preliminary work at last wireless community weekend.


Nice!


So far we started testing:

- MediaTek 7921k

- Wallys DR 7915


We don'e have conclusive results yet but we needed M.2 adapters for the
first model which we would prefer to avoid, and both seems to produce
too much heat to fit two of those into a router enclosure

I stress again on the fact that we need them to work good on OpenWrt,
the usage is mostly for medium to long range outdoor links, preferably
cheap.


You're not going to get decent mesh/AP mode support out of MT7921, since 
that chipset is primarily made for mobile devices.

Please stick with MT7915 (or MT7916 if you can get it).

Radios for LibreRouter 2

Any suggestions on what to test next?


Thanks for suggestions, and congrats for OpenWrt One advances :-)


Cheers!
