DFS won't work with WRT3200ACM-UK

cilix-lab commented 7 years ago

Hi! I've been trying to get DFS to work on my WRT3200ACM-UK with latest mwlwifi 10.3.4.0-20170606 with no success. I've read a lot about how DFS is supposed to work with mwlwifi, but it won't on my router. I'm thinking it might be a regulatory issue with the UK version of the router.

My hostapd config:

I've tried changing the country code, with no success whatsoever. Same config with no DFS will work.

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 (https://github.com/cilix-lab/ubuntu-wrt) with hostapd-2.6.

aqwserf commented 7 years ago

you're not alone, my FR version does not work either with 5GHz DFS on latest LEDE snapshot and 10.3.4.0.git-2017-05-26-1 mwlwifi driver

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

Please use https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3qLWtcWB9EdcHJvd2tIbHl3dnM to do test and get log for me.

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

BTW, you can't change country code if your device is programmed with device power table.

cilix-lab commented 7 years ago

Yes, I've noticed in the logs that it keeps using "country 98" which is what I see in "iw reg get", instead of an actual country. @aqwserf what do you get when you do "iw reg get"?

I'll try to test that image later today and share the results. I'm compiling my own kernel, though, since I'm running Ubuntu, so I won't be able to keep LEDE for long, just to test if it works and share the logs. Does this image's mwlwifi driver differ with the current commit?

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

It is the latest one. If you encounter problem, I can update related packages with debug messages to check it.

as @yuhhaurlin said, if "power table loaded from dts" is set to "no", no chance to modify the table on the fly (if I remeber well, it's in an EEPROM):

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

Please use "cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/mwlwifi/info" to check version.

aqwserf commented 7 years ago

Ok, I don't know where is the magic but with your build, everything works (almost) !! :)

Stock configuration with @yuhhaurlin build:

Channel 100 / Width 80MHz: OK
Channel 120 / Width 80MHz: OK
Channel 36 / Width 160MHz: OK
Channel 120 / Width 160MHz: OK
Channel auto / Width 80MHz: OK
Channel auto / Width 160MHz: KO (the only one that don't work)

Custom configuration (SSID, security, MAC filter, DNS...) with LEDE Snapshot:

Channel 100 / Width 80MHz: KO
Channel 120 / Width 80MHz: KO
Channel 36 / Width 160MHz: KO
Channel 120 / Width 160MHz: KO
Channel auto / Width 80MHz: KO
Channel auto / Width 160MHz: KO

I don't know where is the difference between the two builds, except the configuration (and obviously package version, kernel...)

The wifi driver seems to be the same:

Maybe in my wireless configuration...? I can post mine if you want and I also have all the "logread -f" log for every tests !

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

I get LEDE on 2017/5/21, I just build the image and replace mwlwifi with updated driver. The previous LEDE I got is around 2017/2/20. I did not encounter problem. If you also use LEDE, compatible mac80211 package uses static regulatory database, so I think you should have the same regulatory file as I have, you can use "iw reg get" to check it. Device with power table can't change region code. If the channel setting is allowable by your country, there should be no problem.

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

I close this one. You can still post here if needed. BTW, as I know, there are some pre-built LEDE images from community. Maybe you can try these images.

cilix-lab commented 7 years ago

OK... so I did try @yuhhaurlin 's LEDE image and it works perfectly. I noticed that when doing "iw reg get", I get "FR" now instead of "98" for the country. I see that the problem is not mwlwifi, evidently, but a regulatory issue... something I'm missing.

I'd rather keep compiling my own kernel and stick with Ubuntu, so the question is: what am I missing?

Could you point me in the right direction to solve this issue? Is it mac80211? I don't get why compiling the latest kernel available from Ubuntu and latest mwlwifi, DFS won't work. It seems that the same thing happens to @aqwserf with LEDE Snapshot. So, what could it be?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, though I understand it's not a mwlwifi issue. I'll start googling around and post if I find any solution for reference.

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

If you use mac80211 of kernel, I suggest that you use static regulatory database. After you configure your kernel with this option, you need to get db.txt from LEDE and put it to net/wireless. You can try it. If you have problem, I can give you more detail information next week when I come into office.

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

Sorry. Regulatory database is controlled by cfg80211, this is option for cfg80211: net/wireless: source code for cfg80211 net/mac80211: source code for mac80211

mac80211 Backport package used by LEDE/OpenWrt already uses static regulatory database and they will update db.txt if needed.

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

Otherwise the system must use CRDA to get regulatory database. I think maybe CRDA does not work on your image.

seragh commented 7 years ago

cilix-lab,

your hostapd.conf says country_code=US, wouldn't be surprised for this to be the cause.

I also use crda with in kernel wireless stack on an EU model and DFS works for me.

The canonical source for the regdb is https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sforshee/wireless-regdb.git/

cilix-lab commented 7 years ago

Thanks for the tip, but I've tried changing the country and it goes back to "98" since it is a WRT3200ACM and doesn't load power tables from DTS. I'm now compiling the kernel with static regulatory database from wireless-regdb. I'll report back if that ends up solving it. Thanks again!

As @cilix-lab said, with your build, I also have FR instead of 98 but I also have only 2 wifi interface and not 3. I didn't understand all you said about the mac80211 package/db.txt/CRDA but as I understand, we have to compile our build with latest sources and do some modifications to have a functionnal WIFI driver right? I know that some community builds are made, but I'd like to use "stock" LEDE's build as possible, cause of maintenance, evolutivity and packages compatibility.

In other words, is it possible to modify LEDE's snapshot that works like your's for the moment ? And do you think that an upgrade will be done in the future to LEDE's repos ?

And again, thanks a lot for your work !

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

Can you disable phy2?

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

Or set country code to FR. In fact mwlwifi will set country code based on the region code got from your device power table. If you don't touch country code, it should be all right. Your problem is that phy2 accepts the change of country but mwlwifi won't allow you to change it. Even though you hack mwlwifi to change country code, firmware of 88W8964 won't accept the change. It will still follow region code got from device power table. The better way is that you should not change country code and let mwlwifi set it for you.

cilix-lab commented 7 years ago

I tried compiling the kernel with cfg80211 static regulatory database (REGDB) replacing db.txt in net/wireless, but had no luck still. I'm getting country 98 again. Will keep trying to find the issue here.

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

If you don't change country code, maybe the problem is gone.

cilix-lab commented 7 years ago

After playing around with lots of different configurations, I realized I could make DFS work on my image by modifying /etc/default/crda and setting REGDOMAIN=GB, since my router is "UK".

I'm still getting "country 98" when doing "iw reg get", but I noticed that now it says "country 98: DFS-ETSI" instead of "DFS-UNSET", and then DFS will work properly.

I wish I would get "iw reg get" to display the country code properly, but I'm happy enough with DFS working.

Can you tell if there is another way ? And with "iw reg set FR" don't change naything as you said... Do you have any other ideas ? Maybe a PR to LEDE... ?

Modify via /etc/config/wireless，UCI, or GUI.

aqwserf commented 7 years ago

Ok, tried so set in /etc/config/wireless:

     config wifi-device 'radio2'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option channel '36'
        option hwmode '11a'
        option path 'platform/soc/soc:internal-regs/f10d8000.sdhci/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/mmc0:0001:1'
        option htmode 'VHT80'
        option disable '1'
        option country 'FR'

    config wifi-iface 'default_radio2'
        option device 'radio2'
        option network 'lan'
        option ssid 'DFS'
        option key 'iwIFGJKTAC26zEXHvDGD3NJ0IJAcj0N1tNbrRTYjJNd2teyhdizaYx4hzt921MV'
        option mode 'monitor'
        option disabled '1'

and the "iw reg get" is still the same. DFS still don't work, neither 160MHz...

Here is the log when change to channel 100 / width 80MHz:

I also tried with interface phy2 up in monitor and AP mode, nothing works... Do you see anything that could go wrong ? Any other lead ?

Thanks

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

What do you get via "iw reg get"?

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

Sorry. If you disable radio2, you should not get information of it.

yuhhaurlin commented 7 years ago

I can check my build tomorrow to see if I build in the support for phy2. I will reply you tomorrow.

cilix-lab commented 7 years ago

I haven't used LEDE in a while, but I understand that only with the config wifi-device 'radio2' section having the disabled option, radio2 shouldn't be a problem.

About DFS not working, I understand the /etc/default/crda is not an option since it's LEDE, but to make it work on my image, I also had to set the CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB=y for my kernel config and get db.txt from wireless-regdb. That way I had a working static regulatory database and finally setting a European country got me from country 98: DFS-UNSET to country 98: DFS-ETSI and everything started working.

I think DFS not working in @aqwserf LEDE image might be related to a missing static regulatory database and that DFS-UNSET you get when doing iw reg get. Is there any option in LEDE's kernel config to let you set a static regulatory database?

I am also wondering, what exactly does UCI do when parsing the info in the /etc/config/wireless file. I mean, it creates hostapd config, but it probably does a couple more things, right?

If you can tell me how to disable/delete it, that's fine :) Is the country code of PHY2 that is different from the other two makes the global one set to "DFS-UNSET" ? Ok, let me know when you can !

Thanks for your investment !!

aqwserf commented 7 years ago

@cilix-lab : sorry, I didn't see your post when writing... For the disable option, you're probably right. I deleted it in config wifi-device and it seems disable. The only difference is that in the GUI, I can still disable it with the appropriate button.

For the kernel config, after a quick search, there seems to be this option but the config.seed used to compile doesn't include it. But as I understand, even thought it'll be include, the database is an EEPROM and then can't be modifiy. Am I wrong ?

And for the last question, I would say probably :)

I'm still ok do some tests if needed !

ghost commented 7 years ago

I also have an EU model WRT3200ACM bought in Germany and can confirm this.

I'm running a LEDE snapshot from friday 09 june 2017 (LEDE Reboot SNAPSHOT r4361-8b486ec) with mwlwifi 10.3.4.0-20170606.

I have only done basic wireless config via UCI/LUCI and the country codes for the wireless interfaces stay on "98/US/FR".

It doesn't matter if I change it to "DE" in UCI/LUCI for phy0/phy1.

I did some resets of the entire firmware and just the wireless part and left the country config untouched after that.

Still shows "98/US/FR" (no idea why phy2 shows up, it's disabled).

But I guess there are no differences for Europe between FR and DE regarding channels and transmit power. I'm not using any DFS channels myself right now but I still find it a bit weird that the build provided by @yuhhaurlin seems to set DFS properly for EU/UK models for the "global" part while normal LEDE snapshots don't(?).

Does the "global" part of "iw reg get" matter at all?

Chadster766 commented 7 years ago

It could be that the eeprom that stores the country code has old information and you might have to customize the crda database to suit.

Remove kmod-mwifiex-sdio from your image:

make menuconfig Uncheck: Kernel modules->Wireless Drivers->kmod-mwifiex-sdio make V=s

Please remove mwifiex (phy2) first to see if your problem is gone. I will add this module and check if I can reproduce this problem later.

and as expected, everything works (except auto and 160MHz).

I'll add the uninstall to my install script, except if a PR or something like that will be report to LEDE's dev... May I ?

Your : make menuconfig Uncheck: Kernel modules->Wireless Drivers->kmod-mwifiex-sdio make V=s is a compilation of the image or the wifi driver only ? Do I still to do that or I can simply remove the package in the future?

Finally, I've still this package associate: root@linksys:~# opkg list-installed | grep sdio mwifiex-sdio-firmware - 2016-09-21-42ad5367-1 Can I remove it ?

And again, thanks a lot for your recommandations, your work, and the resolution of my issue !!

Can confirm this works on my EU model:

Removed "kmod-mwifiex-sdio" & "mwifiex-sdio-firmware" Reboot Reset wireless config (rm -f /etc/config/wireless => wifi config > /etc/config/wireless => reboot)

Now it shows "FR" by default on "global/phy0/phy1", DFS seems to be set properly and "phy2" is gone.

Haven't tried changing country code to "DE" yet via UCI/LUCI, will do that later. But even if "FR" sticks (because it is set by firmware) it shouldn't be any trouble for EU models (i guess).

Thanks for the tip!

Did set the country code to "DE" now via UCI/LUCI and global goes back to "98" but DFS stays on "ETSI".

Setting to "FR" again via UCI/LUCI does nothing. Only a wireless reset did set to "FR" for all 3 entries again.

So better not touch country code after flashing / wifi detect via UCI/LUCI for now.

This worked for me on Stable Build 19.07.4. I was stumped for a while until I came across this topic. DFS would fail and I could not use the channels between 52 and 140.

It was the interference of the Third Radio (Radio 2 - mwifiex) that was conflicting with the regulatory frequency restriction. I also have an EU model WRT3200ACM which I set to FR.

Excellent help! Thanks to all involved.
