Cannot change mac address using uci (or similar tools) in openwrt for mt76x2e on the Xiaomi 3G device #164

Hi, it appears that configuring a mac address for the mt76x2e interface with openwrt[0] on the Xiaomi 3G device currently requires modifying the Factory partition in order to allow clients to connect.

You can use breed ( a bootloader , he can modify many of R3G's parameters, including mac address ) After refreshing, you need to set a xiaomi.r3g.bootfw environment variable in the breath and set the value to 2 to specify boot from kernel1.

@nasbdh9 that's interesting. I was thinking that perhaps there was an issue with this kernel module using the mac address value from eeprom when a user specified value was set ( https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/blob/master/mt76x2_eeprom.c#L39) and that the override function wasn't working as intended.

Perhaps a78673d5235309f176e8cb64ba21658ac0cfb39c fixes this issue though (I'll test it out).

The issue appears to still be present.

how does your issue relates to the wifi driver?

d1b commented 6 years ago

Assuming that there isn't a bug in uci (and similar tools) then there is a bug in the wifi driver.

This issue seemingly still exists in openwrt 19.07.0-rc2.

d1b commented 2 years ago

This seemingly has been resolved.
