2021-01 TP-Link Archer C7 v5 firmware has incompatible kernel modules #151

Closed jkhsjdhjs closed 3 years ago

It seems that the kernel modules of the new release packaged for the TP Link Archer C7 v5 are incompatible with the firmware.

I just upgraded my router's firmware to the January 2021 release, using the sysupgrade file from this directory: https://github.com/gwlim/openwrt-sfe-flowoffload-ath79/tree/master/2021-01/openwrt-sfe-flowoffload-normal/mips74k/TP-Link%20Archer%20C7v5-mips74k-ath10k

Then I tried to install the kmod-iptunnel6 kernel module from the kmod-package.tar.gz archive, which I was unable to do because of the following error:

root@OpenWrt:/tmp# opkg install kmod-iptunnel6_5.4.91-1_mips_24kc.ipk 
Unknown package 'kmod-iptunnel6'.
Collected errors:
 * pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for kmod-iptunnel6 found, but incompatible with the architectures configured
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-iptunnel6.

The file is actually located in the /tmp directory, so this is not an issue. It also worked fine for previously releases.

It should be opkg install /tmp/kmod-iptunnel6_5.4.91-1_mips_24kc.ipk

Thanks for your reply, this was actually the first way I tried it. I only changed directory to /tmp, after it didn't work. So unfortunately this doesn't work either. I just downgraded to the July 2020, there it also worked by changing to the /tmp directory and specifing the filenames in opkg install without a directory.

Did you use tab to autocomplete? I verified the packages and checksum pretty sure I didn't copy wrongly.

jkhsjdhjs commented 3 years ago

Yes, I used tab completion. But I'll try upgrading and installing the kernel modules again tomorrow, just to be sure I didn't mess up somewhere. I will report back here.

I don't know what the hell I did wrong yesterday, but it worked now. Thanks and sorry for the noise.
