Hi,
thanks to all who tested the various changes and reported back!
The changes are in main and I'll MFC them in 3-4 days to stable/14.
If you cannot get onto 11ac but 11a (and possibly 11an) work fine, then
check what
ifconifig -v wlan0 list regdomain
says. I got reminded that FCC (likely mostly) and ETSI are the
regdomains which have 11ac entries. I tried to sort TW out today[1]
for someone but I won't have the time to do it for every country.
It's a painful, long and error prone process.
We got one new firmware crash report [2].
What may be sorted:
- bapt's report for AX101 should get further now (combination of the
chnage he tested and the next item)
- What I thought was a firmware crash reported presumably when
switching bands or due to VHT on 2.4Ghz was in fact a crash due to
STA bandwidth > Channel Context channel width which got solved.
Please note: there was a follow-up chnage compared to the original
patch for testing to not provoke other problems with locking or
firmware. If you tested the origial version please update!
- The "BT Coex" crash may be solved now .. or not. I'll wait for
feedback.
Work in progress:
- Adjustments to 802.11-2020 for VHT160 -- I didn't get the logic
right for the fallback; I'll update that patch the next days.
- LinuxKPI alloc changes and dma sync; most in review; waiting for
at least one more to be accepted hopefully so half that batch can
go in.
Next open items:
- WEP, TKIP
- A panic on reboot due to inconsistent net80211 locking
If you think I need t pay special attention to anything for 14.3-RELEASE
please let me know sooner than later.
Have a blessed weekend,
Bjoern
