Omega 2S+: No WiFi Support with OpenWRT 21.02
-
Hi,
I would like to support WiFi in our onion image.
I'm using openwrt 21.02 and I've added support of wifi-warp-core module(https://github.com/OnionIoT/OpenWRT-Packages/tree/openwrt-18.06/wifi-warp-core) into the feeds packages. After booting, I got these issues.
[ 11.419625] mt_wifi: Unknown symbol warn_slowpath_null (err -2)
[ 11.425781] mt_wifi: Unknown symbol dma_alloc_from_dev_coherent (err -2)

[ 11.438608] mt_wifi: Unknown symbol dma_release_from_dev_coherent (err -2)
[ 11.473355] xt_time: kernel timezone is -0000
[ 11.533534] mt_wifi: Unknown symbol warn_slowpath_null (err -2)
[ 11.539699] mt_wifi: Unknown symbol dma_alloc_from_dev_coherent (err -2)
[ 11.546595] mt_wifi: Unknown symbol mips_dma_map_ops (err -2)
[ 11.552552] mt_wifi: Unknown symbol dma_release_from_dev_coherent (err -2)Is this module compatible with openwrt 21.02? Do I need to use another module for supporting the wifi with openwrt 21.02 please?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and best regards

@IBH I'm not aware that Warp Core has been ported to OWRT2x, instead take look at this post where I shared a functional configuration for OWRT22

-
@IBH Yep, @crispyoz is correct: the wifi-warp-core is only compatible with openwrt 18.06
You will need to use an alternative wifi driver for any later openwrt releases.
-
@Lazar-Demin Hi, Could you please give me an example of an alternative wifi driver which be compatible with openwrt21.02?
Thanks
-
@crispyoz Thank you for you comment , Which wifi driver did you enabled for making this configuration working?
-
Target System: MediaTek Ralink MIPS
Subtarget: MT76x8 based boards
Target Profile: Onion Omega2+
-
@crispyoz said in Omega 2S+: No WiFi Support with OpenWRT 21.02:
@IBH
Target System: MediaTek Ralink MIPS
Subtarget: MT76x8 based boards
Target Profile: Onion Omega2+Thank you so much for your reply and help. Does this module work with OpenWRT21.02 or only for 22 please?
-
@IBH I believe @crispyoz is saying if you select the Omega2+ target profile, it will automatically select the open-source mt76 wifi driver
-
@Lazar-Demin the Omega2+ target profile is selected , it doesn't select the open-source mt76 wifi driver. I cannot see any wifi driver which has been selected. Do you know the exact name of the wifi driver please?
CONFIG_TARGET_ramips_mt76x8_DEVICE_onion_omega2p=y
CONFIG_TARGET_PROFILE="DEVICE_onion_omega2p"
-
@IBH it should be called
mt76orkmod-mt76
You can find the package makefile here: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/openwrt-21.02/package/kernel/mt76/Makefile
-
@IBH By following my initial instructions the build will include kmod-mt76-core as you can see from the extract of the .config file here:
CONFIG_TARGET_ramips_mt76x8=y CONFIG_TARGET_ramips_mt76x8_DEVICE_onion_omega2p=y CONFIG_TARGET_SUBTARGET="mt76x8" CONFIG_DEFAULT_kmod-mt7603=y CONFIG_DEFAULT_kmod-sdhci-mt7620=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-sdhci-mt7620=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-mt76-core=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-mt7603=y
-
@crispyoz Thank you so much , I did the same you have done for enabling the module and i have applied the settings as they are posted on the forum but it doesn't work.

@IBH Vanilla OpenWRT isn't configured for easy networking right out of the box, you'll have to make network, firewall, and wireless configuration changes.
Take a look at our UCI-defaults network configuration script for an idea of what we do:
For an idea of how we configure the beta OpenWRT 22.03 firmware, take a look at UCI-defaults network configuration script:https://github.com/OnionIoT/OpenWRT-Packages/blob/openwrt-22.03/omega2-base/files/etc/uci-defaults/15_networkAlternatively, you can use our beta OpenWRT 22.03 firmware. It supports wifi networking right out of the box. More info in this thread: https://community.onion.io/topic/4963/beta-openwrt-22-03-firmware-available-your-feedback-is-needed
EDIT: specified UCI defaults are for OpenWRT 22.03
-
@Lazar-Demin Hi Lazar, I'm using the OpenWRT 21.02 release and not the onion openwrt. I did the configuration shared by @crispyoz in the forum :
https://community.onion.io/topic/4940/original-image-openwrt-22-03-3-ramips/2?_=1680610145788
And I got an issue related to the interface radio0 doesn't exist. Maybe I missed something and for this reason I would like to check with you both.
-
@IBH Ah my mistake, I didn't specify the uci defaults configuration is for our new beta firmware that's based on OpenWRT 22.03. This should apply to your situation since this firmware also uses the mt76 wifi driver.
-
@IBH Here is my OpenWrt 21 config:

@crispyoz Thank you , I did a ' wifi up' but the status says it is not up. Any help please ? How do you run those configs ?

@IBH Your configuration is using my dummy wifi ssid and key so that isn't going to work on your wifi. You need to update the configuration to utilise your wifi.
"ssid": "MYSSID", "encryption": "psk2", "key": "*********************************",To search for available wifi, use this command iw dev apcli0 scan | grep -i ssid
To update the ssid and key you can either edit the file /etc/config/wireless or use these commands:
uci set wireless.sta.ssid='<ENTER YOUR SSID HERE>'
uci set wireless.sta.key='<ENTER YOUR WIFI PASSWORD HERE>'
uci commit wireless
service network restart

@crispyoz
I got this:
root@OpenWrt:/# iw dev apcli0 scan | grep -i ssid
command failed: No such device (-19)
Do I miss something?
I do not need it to connect to a network. I need it to provide one.
When I did wifi up the radio0 doesn't be up and I cannot see the ssid on my phone.
