Bridge Mode #1

Open MiG-41 opened 4 months ago

MiG-41 commented 4 months ago

We trying to use bridge mode ( bridge wwan0 to lan4 or wan i.e.) , in witch quactel-CM can do it : https://eko.one.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?id=24045 In your build i stack in adding wwan0 to bridge , it always said ,that it is busy. Tried to delete hotplug for wwan , also force remove ModemManager , but all the time is busy after root@HikariWrt:~# rmmod qmi_wwan_q root@HikariWrt:~# insmod qmi_wwan_q bridge_mode=1

Can you check in free time is it possible ?

xhikarishii commented 4 months ago

Hi @MiG-41, will look into it, will also look into disabling ModemManager on the next build as yes it causes issues on other protocols using the module.

xhikarishii commented 4 months ago

@MiG-41 changing the label to enhancement since this is not really one but a feature request :)

xhikarishii commented 4 months ago

Bridge mode is now enabled for qmi_wwan_q and will be included on the next release, closing this for now :)

MiG-41 commented 4 months ago

Did you test it ? Becouse issue was also , that it was not possible to add wwan0 to bridge (even with this option enabled...).

xhikarishii commented 4 months ago

Yup testing it right now, but still experimenting on different configurations.

I'll add default configuration along with the release, we are also testing qmap-multiplexing which will be included too.

MiG-41 commented 4 months ago

Multiplexing is as i belive same connection to different ANP's ? Not sure ,if this can be used ( Maybe one provier uses different APN for IPv4 and different for IPv6 ,but don't use hisservices). But bridge i looking forvard to test it :)

xhikarishii commented 4 months ago

Reopening this issue, as I experienced frequent Kernel Panics when the bridge is enabled. Will look further on this one.

MiG-41 commented 4 months ago

Can you give this release to test ? ( I understand that it can be not stable , but at least connecting , we were not able to recive a connection at all...)

xhikarishii commented 3 months ago

Hi @MiG-41, it's not on a really usable state right now, the kernel panic will cause a bootloop for some reason. Will hold this tweak for now until we have resolve it.

But for now I cannot promise anything as this is a complex issue and quectel support is really hard to pursue.

@MiG-41 I saw a user manual for quectel-cm and it seems that macro QUECTEL_BRIDGE_MODE must be enabled in the driver source code for bridge mode to work. https://sixfab.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Quectel_QConnectManager_Linux_User_Guide_V1.0.pdf

Yes , Cezary made a version with this option copmpiled, on his Teltonika RUT950 with EC25 everything went ok ,it was possible to add wwan0 to bridge , device received IP , but there where no transmission at all. In my case with AW1000 i couldn't add wwan0 to bridge.

XT-Martinez commented 3 months ago

Since qmap_mode is set to 1 on Hikari's build, perhaps it should be wwan0_1 instead of wwan0? Can you also try insmod qmi_wwan_q qmap_mode=0 and try again the bridge again with wwan0?

xhikarishii commented 2 months ago

We just finished another release but I still can't manage to get bridge mode to work, I'll look further into this.

xhikarishii commented 2 months ago

@MiG-41 Hi, I have stumbled upon the eko forums and seen that you are testing my builds there. If you can help me with identifying where the bottlenecks of the device that would really help.

Currently I've been maxing out only around 700-800mbps on the device, and reception is really bad on my area (But on process on moving to the city) so hopefully I can get better overview there.

On reason of slower speeds is because the module NSA combinations are limited. But let me know if you have details.

MiG-41 commented 2 months ago

Unfortunatly i dont have AW1000 anymore , so i can't test your newer 1.2 relese.

On 1.1 max. what i could get was 600Mbps... I wondering ,if that is max. on such connection B1+B7+n78 (n78 with 100Mhz bandwitch) , since on other devices and phones i get in the same place near tower 900Mbps...

Would be really nice if anyone can share cell info and diagnostics. But will continue to look into the bottlenecks :)
