@Cezane just to say, not sure but I think I've read somewhere that propriety driver does not support ad-hoc mode. Is that true?

I am still getting kernel call traces with the latest driver and batman-adv.. so not stable yet

I've tested it more and I can say - yes, there is a significant improve in stability on open source driver. I still have some problems but it is a good step in the right direction. Will test it more and then report here.

@luz I've got it up and running but still not even close to stable wifi... i cant connect it in STA mode, only in AP mode
it works but when I do:

iw wlan0 scan

I'm getting MCU errors and then module crashes:

so... not stable

hm, am I doing something wrong?
I have cloned https://github.com/noblepepper/mtk-wifi to feeds/mtk-wifi:

lede@bender:~/dev/lede-project/lede$ ./scripts/feeds update -i mtk-wifi
lede@bender:~/dev/lede-project/lede$ ./scripts/feeds install kmod-mtk-wifi
WARNING: No feed for package 'kmod-mtk-wifi' found, maybe it's already part of the standard packages?

it didnt show in make menuconfig menu..

Sorry but I'm not (yet) familiar with the openwrt/lede build process

@luz can you plase tell us how exactly you did compile that module
When I add that url to feeds.conf (src-git mtkwifi https://github.com/noblepepper/mtk-wifi) I am getting the following error:

Create index file './feeds/mtkwifi.index'
grep: feeds/mtkwifi/Makefile:$(eval: No such file or directory
grep: $(call: No such file or directory
grep: BuildPackage,mtk-wifi))/Makefile: No such file or directory
/home/geroy/dev/lede-project/lede/feeds/mtkwifi.tmp/info/.files-packageinfo.mk:1: *** target pattern contains no '%'. Stop.
Collecting target info: done

I am interested too for building my own images of LEDE with wireless support.

Hello,

How can I install batman-adv kernel module on Omega2+? It seems that there is no such package. Is there a way to compile just that module for that kernel?
