Gargoyle 1.11.0 Release Candidate 1

[Lantis]

I need to find time to fix Atheros and Alix, ramips.default, ar71xx.routerstation, email plugin and a few other things.

My personal life is very busy at the moment but I’ll get there.
But yes ultimately Eric is in charge and I’m not sure where he would like things to go at the moment.
RC1 or the latest from ispy should keep most users happy for the moment. It’s been very stable in my opinion!

Could please post the links for the plugins?
I only see a very few like usb and webcam.

Running RC1 of 1.11.

Thank you

In days gone by, it was advisable to clear the /usr/data/bwmon folder to prevent endless looping of reboots.

Is this still a recommendation?

Thanks

They are in the same folder you downloaded the firmware from.
For example, the ar71xx.default plugins are at

I am not easily impressed.
I have a wrt3200 as my main running openwrt with the latest wifi drivers patched in.

I needed a bridge for working on older hardware that didnt have wifi, so i bought a wrt1900ac v2. Stock with the april2018 firmware, in bridge mode it did 100mbs down and 1mbs up, using a 5ghz ac connection.

Trying to get a bridge on openwrt by hand is a nightmare for me. So i decided to load up this RC1, since its got the bridge config baked right in.

Boom i get 500mbs up and down, through 2 walls and about 25ft.

I have compiled this from git for the Trendnet TEW-823DRU as an ath10k-large and I have been using it as a main router and as a bridge and everything appears to work as expected.

One issue that comes up for this router is that the wifi MAC Address (BSSID) is always initialized to 00:03:07:12:34:56 for every router. This causes an issue when you try to connect a bridge to the primary router and you have to manually set the macaddr field in the wireless config. Is there anyway this can be fixed?

Would it also be possible to add the image for this router in future RC releases?

Thanks.

[Lantis]

Do you need to manually set it in Openwrt as well?
Are there any config changes required to build that router or just adding it to ath10k-large is sufficient?

[pp98]

Openwrt has a GUI option to set the BSSID in the interface configuration but it requires this change in order for the bridge to work.

No config changes are required for the router. Just adding it to the ath10k-large list is sufficient.

Thanks.
