@Jackdaw said in Any way to combine Omega WiFi with LEDE builds?:

Better go for the updated open MT76 driver. Like Luz recommended. At the time the MT76 driver didnt work so I used the mt76x8 one. I used the default kernel version from original LEDE source.

The latest MT76 driver pulled by the Lede Master branch appears to work great at first, but then the data stops after a few minutes. The client must then disassociate and re-associate with the access point to get data to flow again, so something is going on.

I will try the Mt76x8 driver now, I assume you mean the one from the WRTnode repository...

Edit: I can't get the mt76x8 driver fromt he WRTnode repository to show up in my make menuconfig (the ralink category shows up now, but it's empty).

@Marcin-Debowski Don't send PoE through that han run mag jack, the resistors inside will burn. Or, you can use a PoE injector/splitter, so you remove the DC power from the cat5 before it gets to the magjack.

jackdaw and luz,

what is the concensus? should we use the proprietary driver on the WRTnode repository, or the updated open MT76 driver?

I just need this to work as a reliable access point with WPA2 encryption, i do NOT need any station mode. (a separate radio is best for that in my opinion)

please share what kernel version you are running too, thanks!

thanks,
Mike
