Welcome

This feed enable using MTK/Ralink official wifi driver for the latest linux kernel 4.14/openwrt. It should be much stable than current mt76 driver. I patch it for my production VoCore2.

Feel free to submit patch and bug or email me at support@vocore.io

This patch is only for study/personal usage, and only for VoCore2, it might burn your house, launch nuke, etc... please use it carefully and risk is on you. Source code of mt7628 is from internet.

Why use Linux 4.14

For faster speed and more security.

How to use it

add this feeds to your openwrt source.

cd ~/openwrt
cp feeds.conf.default feeds.conf
echo src-git vocore2 https://github.com/vonger/vocore2.git >> feeds.conf
./scripts/feeds update vocore2
cp -r ./feeds/vocore2/mt7628 ./package/kernel

FIXME: I have no idea why ./scripts/feeds install -a -p vocore2 not work...

patch your openwrt with necessary patches to use this driver.

cd ~/openwrt
patch -p1 < ./package/kernel/mt7628/openwrt/000-*.patch

mkdir ./package/network/utils/iwinfo/patches
cp ./package/kernel/mt7628/openwrt/080-*.patch ./package/network/utils/iwinfo/patches

config mt7628 in make menuconfig Kernel modules -> Wireless Drivers -> kmod-mt7628

Target System: MediaTek Ralink MIPS
Subtarget: MT76x8 based boards
Kernel modules -> Wireless Drivers -> unselect kmod-mt76 / select kmod-mt7628 -> select WiFi Operation Mode -> enable AP-Client support for AP+STA mode; enable SNIFFER for monitor mode.
Base System -> select wireless-tools (need its iwpriv)
Network(option): unselect wapd-mini/hostapd-common (mt7628.ko already have WPA support)
Global build settings(option): Kernel build options -> /dev/mem virtual device support(enable /dev/mem for easy debug)
Global build settings(option): unselect Cryptographically signed package lists (this will block compile)

compile and enjoy!

Option

enable luci setting up AP+STA mode, WPA/WPA2. default: disable

install luci feeds first.
