General wifi debugging tips

Hello all, on my x86 custom build (based on gargoyle 1.14) with a 2.4G network via the AR9485 wifi (ath9k driver), after a few days the Wifi seems to go down. The SSID stays up but clients can't connect to it anymore. LAN access to the internet works fine. When accessing the connected hosts in the g...

Re: X86 mini PC

Thanks Lantis and pythonic for the suggestions. I was able to piggy back off Lantis' repository to install packages. What I am curious about is how to build the plugins. My output directory from the build (via 'make x86.x64 FULL_BUILD=true') only contained the following: /home/gargoyle/images/ /home...

Re: X86 mini PC

For custom x86 builds, how do I go about installing community plugins? They don't show up with the default repository config, likely due to the custom version. I don't mind setting up a local repository but can't find any posts related to that.

Re: X86 mini PC

That did the trick! Now awaiting shipment of the atheros 9880 mini PCI-e module for the 5G wifi. Things looking great so far. This x86 setup is having no issues pushing the HW limits of the network. None of my other routers have been able to do that.

Re: X86 mini PC

Thanks, getting the custom build going isn't all that bad. Well.. assuming you've compiled the linux kernel before. I just tried attaching my config but says "board attachment quota is reached". Here are additions in the new kernel config after manually adding the ath9k driver: CONFIG_PACK...

Re: X86 mini PC

Managed to get in with the LAN and turn on the wifi. For some reason only see 2.4G, not the 5G. Even turning on the 2.4G, seems to not be happy: Sat Jul 29 17:07:09 2023 daemon.notice netifd: radio0 (22104): Command failed: Not found Sat Jul 29 17:07:09 2023 daemon.notice netifd: radio0 (22104): Dev...

Re: X86 mini PC

Based on the guidance in https://www.gargoyle-router.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=11883, and the notes in the README.md plus several Ubuntu installs later (kept running out of space in the virtual box, 50 GiB did the trick), got an x86-64 squashfs EFI image built! This was by taking the 1.14 sources as...

Re: X86 mini PC

Thanks for clarifying. Yes I am not sure what's going on with the grub menu. Just seems to want to wait indefinitely on the openwrt screen. I need to look into that a bit more. Agreed that the power cycling thing isn't a gargoyle issue but HW. Regarding the kernel drivers, I am curious why it wasn't...

Re: X86 mini PC

I purchased something similar with a Qualcomm atheros 9485 wifi. Some observations: 1. Gargoyle 1.14 EFI combined build doesn't seem to have a driver built in nor does it come with kernel modules for the wifi. Any suggestions for the fastest way in getting this up and running? 2. Grub also doesn't w...

Re: OpenVPN Client mode Error: Could not find config file

Unfortunately a username/password are required for surfshark. Is it working in 1.14?
