Sultan Alsawaf 944cb3db09 mac80211: parse the correct set of HE capabilities for AP mode
It is common for 802.11ax NICs to support more than just AP mode, which
results in there being a distinct set of HE capabilities for each mode. As
(bad) luck would have it, iw prints out info for each HE mode in sequential
order according to `enum nl80211_iftype`, and AP mode isn't always first.

As a result, the wrong set of HE capabilities can be parsed if an AP NIC
supports station (managed) mode or any other mode preceding AP mode, since
only the first set of HE capabilities printed by iw is parsed from awk's
output.

This has a noticeable impact on beamforming for example, since managed mode
usually doesn't have beamformer capabilities enabled, while AP mode does.
Hostapd won't be set up with the configs to enable beamformer capabilities
in this scenario, causing hostapd to disable beamforming to HE stations
even when it's supported by the AP.

Always parse the correct set of HE capabilities for AP mode to fix this.
This is achieved by trimming all of iw's output prior to the AP mode
capabilities, which ensures that the first set of HE capabilities are
always for AP mode.

Welcome to Lean's git source of OpenWrt and packages

How to build your Openwrt firmware.

Note:

  1. DO NOT USE root USER FOR COMPILING!!!

  2. Users within China should prepare proxy before building.

  3. Web admin panel default IP is 192.168.1.1 and default password is "password".

Let's start!

  1. First, install Ubuntu 64bit (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS x86 is recommended).

  2. Run sudo apt-get update in the terminal, and then run sudo apt-get -y install build-essential asciidoc binutils bzip2 gawk gettext git libncurses5-dev libz-dev patch python3 python2.7 unzip zlib1g-dev lib32gcc1 libc6-dev-i386 subversion flex uglifyjs git-core gcc-multilib p7zip p7zip-full msmtp libssl-dev texinfo libglib2.0-dev xmlto qemu-utils upx libelf-dev autoconf automake libtool autopoint device-tree-compiler g++-multilib antlr3 gperf wget curl swig rsync

  3. Run git clone https://github.com/coolsnowwolf/lede to clone the source code, and then cd lede to enter the directory

  4. ./scripts/feeds update -a
    ./scripts/feeds install -a
    make menuconfig
    
  5. Run make -j8 download V=s to download libraries and dependencies (user in China should use global proxy when possible)

  6. Run make -j1 V=s (integer following -j is the thread count, single-thread is recommended for the first build) to start building your firmware.

This source code is promised to be compiled successfully.

You can use this source code freely, but please link this GitHub repository when redistributing. Thank you for your cooperation!

Rebuild:

cd lede
git pull
./scripts/feeds update -a && ./scripts/feeds install -a
make defconfig
make -j8 download
make -j$(($(nproc) + 1)) V=s

If reconfiguration is need:

rm -rf ./tmp && rm -rf .config
make menuconfig
make -j$(($(nproc) + 1)) V=s

Build result will be produced to bin/targets directory.

Special tips:

  1. This source code doesn't contain any backdoors or close source applications that can monitor/capture your HTTPS traffic, SSL is the final castle of cyber security. Safety is what a firmware should achieve.

  2. If you have any technical problem, you may join the QQ discussion group: 297253733, link: click here

Router Recommendation

Not Sponsored: If you are finding a low power consumption, small and performance promising x86/x64 router, I personally recommend the EZPROv1 Alumium Edition (N3710 4000M): Details
