1 year ago Hi @desultory
Glad you are out there on the bleeding edge helping all of us figure this out. My cf-951ax arrived last week but I have not gotten this far yet.
It will help me if you throw out some details such as computer, distro and adapter.

The adapter is an ebay special mt7921 that has a big heatsink but I'm assuming is just a m.2 to pcie adapter board.

1 year ago An unfortunate thing about this board is that the usb3 is kinda broken on it, I may do a hardware mod that can fix that though

1 year ago The first thing I would do is change the channel:
channel=100
channel=36
Your country code is US and that makes 100 a DFS channel. I'm not sure the driver support DFS. It may but I have not tested yet. You could also go with 149.
What does your output of iw dev look like after you start hostapd?

1 year ago Hmmm...
type AP
Generally if hostapd is able to take the interface into AP mode successfully then there is not much wrong. That is a good sign.
Let me suggest you expend your channel settings so that you can do 80 MHz channel width:
# Channel
channel=36
# Channel width (0 = 40 MHz. 1 = 80 Mhz)
vht_oper_chwidth=1
# VHT center channel (chan + 6)
vht_oper_centr_freq_seg0_idx=42Now give me a chance to go through the rest of the posting above in detail.

1 year ago In looking at the above postings, I'm wondering if it would to keep things simple and work toward for more complicated.
A WPA2, 5 GHz band setup working well and then we try to push the buttons for AX and then after that is working well, get WPA3 going.
If you are interested, I have an AP guide up that gives pretty hostapd.conf examples for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. It isn't updated yet for WiFi 6 or 6 GHz channels but it could help:

Yeah, I plugged the mt7612 into the quartz64 (usb2 only) and I'm getting the same no second channel offset error, I just copied that configuration file so I don't see why there is an issue. I did compile this hostapd myself but I have the config parameters I used above, the only weird thing I did was remove radius support.
I need to compile it myself to get wpa3/sae support.

A lot of stuff on Amazon are imported from China and are the same things on ebay. I don't have a 6GHz router.

I had similar issues, amazon support and the seller both called me a liar and got my reviews removed saying the cards were dual band. Weird that my reviews on the amazon renewed hard drive were also removed when I showed it had it's SMART stats wiped and failed the initial smart test I ran on it. The card I'm currently using was from ebay and is also dual band but was cheaper and had a heatsink unlike the trash that was being sold on amazon. It's extremely frustrating that amazon is now full of bad cards, the card I got on amazon was also flashed to be a ryzen card or whatever which just made loading firmware and drivers more of a pain but still possible.
I've tried a few cards and none of them seem to actually be tri band, I think some people have had success using modded firmware on intel ax210 cards though. I'm about at my limits trying to order stuff on amazon, I don't really know if ebay or aliexpress are that much more reliable though.
bjlockie
commented
1 year ago My card has a heatsink so you can't see the chip but it is a 7921. I figure those chips are in plentiful supply. I don't know why mediatek even made it, I think it was AFTER Intel already had a 6GHz chip.
morrownr
commented
1 year ago The good news for usb is that it appears no dual band chipset will be made since they are starting off with the tri band mt7921au (which appears to be a mt7921k with support for usb.)
A lot of sellers could give a s**t about the details that matter to us. I give first preference to Rokland as they have folks behind the scenes that work hard to understand Linux users. You might give them a call and request the type of cards you are looking for with the mt7921k chipset:
They service the US and Canada for sure but you might ask if you are elsewhere in the world.

I'll keep the non-6ghz. It's just a bit disappointing that a lot of sellers are doing that. The good thing is that it is mediatek. :-) I am in Canada and if get a 6GHz router I'll get a new card. It might not be until wifi 8. :-)

1 year ago My wifi 5 router officially turned into a Wifi 6 router last night. It is a ZyXEL NBG6817. The cf-951ax and an elbow extender turned it into a WiFi 6 router. OpenWRT 22.03 has the driver for the mt7921au. It works well and when Alfa releases a good adapter with long range, I'll replace the Comfast and will be able to test 6 GHz.

I tried the adapter on Windows. The drive makes it LOOK like it is 6e but there is no 6GHZ band. Linux tells even more. :-)

commented
1 year ago If iw list is not showing band 4, then it is likely a mt7921 chipset and not the mt7921k. I did not think AMD licensed the mt7921, only the mt7921k and later. Beats me what is going on.
bjlockie
commented
1 year ago I don't think it is an AMD thing, I think it is the driver for the AMD that Ubit (the seller) pointed me at that happens to work but doesn't report the actual chip. I couldn't find drivers hosted on the Mediatek website which is annoying. They don't seem to be very end-user friendly.

commented
1 year ago This what Ubit (the manufacturer) said:
Does your router support 6E? If your router doesn't have 6E function, then the NIC can't receive 6G signal.
Sigh.

can you do 6GHz iperf tests now?

Not yet. The only wifi device that I have right now that is 6 GHz capable is the Comfast adapter. I have two devices that are WiFi 6 capable and I am using them to test the WiFi 6 capability of the router.

I can also get a solid 100mbps down on my phone with the AC setup, and it's over a vpn so this is kinda expected even though I should get up to a gigabit. My VPN is limited to 500mbps I think. I get about 15/15 on the ax AP, same card.

I am studying what you posted. I haven't been working on AX AP mode lately as my attention was pulled to work on the Realtek drivers that are maintained here. It happens most of the time when new kernels are released for testing as users want to see what the status of the new kernels happens to be. I have a few other things to take care of and then I will start looking at AP mode again.
My thoughts at this point are that the community, me included, has some learning to do to optimize WiFi 6. I had to reread the thread but still am not clear on the specific hardware and which version of Armbian you are using. In looking at your hostapd.conf, I see a couple of things that could be tweaked for AC but are you trying to get AX going? If so, you are missing a lot of lines.

Thanks for the response. I was just testing this since I haven't touched it in a while and saw there was a much more recent armbian version.
I'm using a 4gb quartz64 model a
the card is just a mt7291 on a pcie board, I wanted this from factor to hold the antennas since I don't have a case for this.
Heres the lspci output: Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp. Device 0608

I recompiled hostapd with the same config I have above, the version is 2.10. I got the sources from the project website.

1 year ago the card is just a mt7921 on a pcie board,
I guess this setup would use the mt7921e driver. This is probably of interest to others here. I could even add a section to the in-kernel driver list. Can I talk you into info and links to the usb adapter that holds the cards?

That is what I did as well.

1 year ago the one packaged with the latest alpine, I recently reflashed this device and I'm using diskless mode

1 year ago My bad, this is not the 7921, this is the 7612, I've been using it with this device for about half a year, it's not really related to this issue in particular but I have been using it to test.
before I re-flashed the device, I was using a custom kernel, I think I baked relevant network modules into the kernel instead of using kmods and I believe the stability was a bit better. I've only been using this new setup for a few days and I think this is the second time the adapter as dropped kinda randomly. I think I may not have the kernel module parameters set yet, I've mostly been working on an issue with macvlan using podman...

This seems to indicate a usb controller/port issue.
mt76x2u 2-2:1.0: tx urb failed: -84
This is curious in that the mt76x2u driver is only for the mt7612u and mt7610u chipsets or so I think. I guess it can be investigated but one way or another, if the usb driver has a flat tire, a usb adapter is not going to get very far.
Oh, now I see the msg that this is a mt7612u chipset. My confusion is subsiding. However, I think you should concentrate first on the usb issue as it is probably causing the adapter problem.

1 year ago I'm not sure how to look into this usb problem. I'm also drawing a blank on how to set the module parameters for this kernel module. I know I did it before when I compiled them myself, but this is working with in kernel drivers. I believe it's some file under /etc/modules.load or /etc/modprobe?
I'm using a 5v3a adapter for the pi4, I have it set to go up to 2.2ghz but I'm currently having issues because it's using the powersave governor and doesn't seem to want to scale the cores at all, so it's stuck at 1500mhz which is the minimum I set it to allow. I don't think the port is running out of power, but it could be. I have this and a tplink gbe adapter on the usb ports, and a asus usb n53 on the usb 2

1 year ago I could open a new thread since it may be relevant, but I compiled hostapd on my new router instance, where the mt7612u is plugged in, and I was not able to get WPA3 support working. I used the same exact config I currently have working on the 7921, like this with password omitted:
ssid=nope
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
wpa=2
#wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_key_mgmt=SAE WPA-PSK
#wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP-256 CCMP
#rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wpa_passphrase=
broadcast_deauth=1
eapol_key_index_workaround=0
eap_server=0
own_ip_addr=127.0.0.1
ieee80211w=1
sae_password=
sae_require_mfp=1
I started this AP, and my phone said there was a new password, i have a different wpa3 password, I was able to connect, and then within a minute, it lost connection. I was running hostapd manually and it didn't say anything, couldn't ping the phone any more either. I tried restarting the service and then it didn't let me log in with either password. I reset it to wpa2 and it works as it did.

1 year ago Well... nothing authed until i pulled the card out and reinstered it, nothing weird on dmesg other than it complaining when i abruptly removed the card.
And now wpa3 is working again, idk what to think of this. I guess I'll take it as working?

1 year ago I'm also drawing a blank on how to set the module parameters for this kernel module.
I have a repo that is nothing but info on the mt7612u chipset:
https://github.com/morrownr/7612u
If you go down to Known Issue 2, it will include two ways to set the only module parameter available.
In-kernel drivers do not make much use of module parameters. They are basically like automatic transmissions.
I'm using a 5v3a adapter for the pi4, I have it set to go up to 2.2ghz but I'm currently having issues because it's using the powersave governor and doesn't seem to want to scale the cores at all, so it's stuck at 1500mhz which is the minimum I set it to allow. I don't think the port is running out of power, but it could be. I have this and a tplink gbe adapter on the usb ports, and a asus usb n53 on the usb 2
I'm getting lost regarding the setup. I see you are using a Pi4 but I really need to know what distro and version plus anything else like external powered usb hub that you are using.
And now wpa3 is working again, idk what to think of this. I guess I'll take it as working?
auth_algs=1
Change this to auth_algs=3 for SAE. Main Menu item 9 has an extensive guide for setting up an AP. The example hostapd.conf files it contains give a lot of information, including the specific settings for many adapters, including the mt7612u and mt7921au.

1 year ago Ok, that is kinda what I was assuming with the kernel module parameters. they are being loaded as modules, not baked into the kernel, I thought there was something I could still set on them. I recall needing to turn off powersaving and force usb3 in one case.
I'm using alpine linux. I am not using any powered hubs or anything. I have the my7612u plugged into the lower usb3 port because of the size, a tplink rt2800 gbe adapter on the upper port, and asus usb n53 on the upper remaining usb 2 port.'
The kernel I'm using is 5.15.76-0-rpi4 #1-Alpine SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 31 00:54:37 UTC 2022 aarch64 Linux which is part of the alpine raspberrypi-bootloader package I believe.
I'm currently using auth_algs=1 on the device and it is working. That is also what I'm using my my mt7921. I'm about to some more on that, but I believe I chose the option that alowed both wpa2 and 3?

Apparently alg 1 is wpe, alg 2 is wep, and alg 3 is both? not seeing a lot more info on that. Your guide just mentions alg 3 is required, but I seem to be using it with alg 1.

1 year ago A while back when I was first getting into making 802.11ac access points, I think I tried several cards before finding this repo and had to manually compile the drivers for some for the devices to work properly.
Reading your repo about the 7612, I'm assuming I don't need to make that module change since the fix was applied to the raspberry pi kernel? I'm on the lastest rpi foundation kernel, I believe.

1 year ago finally I got 6GHZ AP mode working good with mt7921au (CF-953AX) attached to rpi (kernel - 5.19.4). hostapd recompilation is needed to enable SAE and AX.

I'm not able to get this card to create an access point. I've upgraded the firmware to the latest using this wiki as a guide, and had to compile hostapd myself for SAE support, but it seems to be having issues with ACS. I'm sure my hostapd config is wrong, but I can't find any good resources on making wifi 6 APs on linux,
Here is my hostapd compile config:
