Gargoyle Forum

I just loaded OpenWRT Chaos Calmer 15.05 onto a TP-Link TL-WR1043N/ND v1 and configured only wifi encryption.

Exactly the same thing happens.

Tomorrow, stock firmware . . . stay tuned.

Latest TP-Link stock firmware on a TP-Link TL-WR1043N/ND v1.
An overnight test showed no leakage.

So, to summarize:

- Gargoyle 1.9.x : Leak
- OpenWRT 15.05 : Leak
- TP-Link TL-WR1043ND_V1_140319 : Clean

I'm thinking more in terms of a kernel issue than a missing iptables rule.

I suppose the next step would be to try BarrierBreaker and then possibly a DesignatedDriver snapshot. I can see my router getting bricked this week.

@roadhawk I think that it is worth posting your findings over on the openwrt forum as the solution will need to be identified and resolved in openwrt before Garoyle users can see the fix.

OpenWRT BarrierBreaker : Leak
OpenWRT DesignatedDriver : CLEAN

Sorted. So all we have to do is wait.

Interesting.
Most likely to do with a kernel change.
There are rumours that CC 15.05.1 (maintenance update) will be based on Kernel 4.4 (which DD uses).
I think it is more likely that it will use 3.18.27.
For reference, gargoyle uses 3.18.23.

Well, looks like 15.05.1 will have 3.18.23 if I'm reading the OpenWRT front page correctly...?

Correct, but since then, the CC branch has been pushed to 3.18.27.
Just isn't part of any official release.

3.18.23 has a bug in witch will put some devices in a bootloop
