Which device is here affected?

Can you trace the bug down to one of the commits in the mentioned code delta, by bisecting further?

To clarify -- the bug happens with the new firmware (not kernel code)

Hi,

I have some observations from my side. I have Netgear EAX12 with MT7915E working as WiFi Access Point, connected to router over wire. Latest release Openwrt 23.05.4 (r24012-d8dd03c46f) (kernel 5.15.162) (2024-07-17 11:16:49) has working 2.4GHz and not starting 5GHz wifi. Snapshot version SNAPSHOT (r27426-232cc239b8) (2024-09-16 12:27:11) (kernel 6.6.51) has working both wifi's. I don't see older images to test for my device on firmware-selector.openwrt.org page.

By not working wifi in my case I mean that SSID is not broadcasted, no wifi access. But radio is enabled, it is able to perform scan via luci network/wireless scan option.

Kernel logs from 23.05.4 while restarting radio looks like that: [79324.336625] device phy1-ap0 left promiscuous mode [79324.341560] br-lan: port 3(phy1-ap0) entered disabled state [79325.801774] br-lan: port 3(phy1-ap0) entered blocking state [79325.807601] br-lan: port 3(phy1-ap0) entered disabled state [79325.813937] device phy1-ap0 entered promiscuous mode [79325.844345] device phy1-ap0 left promiscuous mode [79325.849625] br-lan: port 3(phy1-ap0) entered disabled state [79325.921278] br-lan: port 3(phy1-ap0) entered blocking state [79325.927061] br-lan: port 3(phy1-ap0) entered disabled state [79325.933162] device phy1-ap0 entered promiscuous mode

There are some differences in logs. Not sure how and why.

@stratixx so is Firmware Version 20240823 working for you then ? you should see it in dmesg when the driver loads. thats great news if the firmware works on the newer kernel. in my case the new firmware failed with kernel 6.8.12 (noble).

I see firmware version 6.6.51.2024.09.05~65cc3daf-r1 in snapshot image. It seems working. Later I can reflash and check what firmware version is used in latest release. I'm rather not going to compile custom firmware versions.

version 23.05.4 has mt7915 firmware version 5.15.162+2024-04-03-1e336a85-1.

weird thing. After flashing back latest release image, which was already tested previously and was failing, now 5GHz wifi is working.

maybe unrelated? the firmware that was committed in https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/commit/d6611d015efd725706ee285308dedbff24b9ea03 is even more recent, 20240823 (vs 04 03)
