Aug 17 08:01:19 <russell--> it looks like maybe i lost the serial console on my WGT634Us since a few weeks ago ... investigating.
Aug 17 08:02:35 <russell--> "Starting program at 0x80001000" and then nothing
Aug 17 08:03:57 <russell--> 10561-gff7909f69e works
Aug 17 08:04:21 <russell--> brcm47xx from ancient times
Aug 17 08:14:48 <russell--> hmm. no. it's some local .config problem
Aug 17 09:16:55 <russell--> hostapd: Line 10: unknown configuration item 'noscan'
Aug 17 09:17:47 <russell--> wpad-basic - 2018-12-02-c2c6c01b-6
Aug 17 09:45:09 <russell--> weird. pretty much same config works on ubnt-bullet-m
Aug 17 10:08:01 <russell--> even with full wpad
Aug 17 10:12:11 <russell--> daemon.notice netifd: radio0 (1490): sh: out of range
Aug 17 10:12:19 <russell--> not sure what that means
Aug 17 10:23:27 <KanjiMonster> russell--: noscan in hostapd is guarded by "CONFIG_IEEE80211N", so if your brcm47xx config only builds b43, then this will likely be not enabled
Aug 17 10:26:15 <russell--> the radio is ath5k
Aug 17 10:26:28 <russell--> so this is a batman-adv setup
Aug 17 10:26:32 <KanjiMonster> okay, same for ath5k - only 11g support, no 11n support
Aug 17 10:27:12 <KanjiMonster> then again IIRC noscan is for forcing ht40 in a noisy environment, so won't do you any good with a pre-11n card anyway
Aug 17 10:27:22 <russell--> weirdly if i remove the second wifi-iface and run "wifi" the interface comes up
Aug 17 10:29:22 <russell--> where "the interface" is the adhoc mode interface in the other wifi-iface
Aug 17 10:51:27 <russell--> git blame says this: b3d8b3ab8e6fc0c0355f0680fc1c5f9c90a0c35a
Aug 17 10:52:44 <russell--> nbd: ^^^^
Aug 17 12:06:30 <jow> russell--: what is the output of hostapd -v11n; echo $?  on your device?
Aug 17 12:12:24 <jow> russell--: try this: https://pastebin.com/xVsKpSjN
Aug 17 13:04:52 <Hauke> KanjiMonster: russell--: I with we should activate CONFIG_IEEE80211N and CONFIG_IEEE80211W unconditionally
Aug 17 13:05:07 <Hauke> in the binary images it is anyway activated, but in self builds it is sometimes off
Aug 17 13:05:25 <Hauke> s/I with/I think/
Aug 17 13:05:39 <Hauke> and most devices support both any way
Aug 17 13:20:28 <jow> dedeckeh: ping
Aug 17 13:44:10 <dedeckeh> jow:pong
Aug 17 15:43:54 <russell--> jow: # hostapd -v11n; echo $?
Aug 17 15:43:56 <russell--> 1
Aug 17 15:53:13 <russell--> jow: your paste turns off the noscan and lets hostapd work
Aug 17 15:53:48 <russell--> Hauke: i'm about to try your suggestion
Aug 17 15:56:50 <Hauke> russell--: if the savings are minimal anyway, I would just remove all this special handling

Aug 17 16:20:00 <KanjiMonster> russell--: search for e.g. DRIVER_11N_SUPPORT in menuconfig and you'll get a list of who selects it
Aug 17 16:20:14 <KanjiMonster> *what
Aug 17 16:54:28 <russell--> heh, selecting e.g. kmod-rt2800-usb=m and rebuilding hostapd got me CONFIG_IEEE80211N=y
Aug 17 20:58:55 <Pepin95> Hello, this might be a stupid question, but I'm not sure if it's documented. Where can I define new /etc/config/wireless options for hostapd/wpa_supplicant?
Aug 17 21:01:42 <DonkeyHotei> Pepin95: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/basic
Aug 17 21:04:08 <Pepin95> DonkeyHotei: not asking how do I set already existing settings. I want to define a new, yet non-existing option.
Aug 17 21:04:53 <DonkeyHotei> oh.
Aug 17 21:12:06 <Hauke> jow: there is no openwrt-18.07 build bot any more: http://release-builds.openwrt.org/18.06/images/grid
Aug 17 21:14:20 <DonkeyHotei> 18.07?
Aug 17 21:14:36 <Pepin95> typo
Aug 17 21:16:43 <Hauke> 18.06 ;-)
Aug 17 21:16:51 <Mister_X> 19.07?
Aug 17 21:26:31 <Pepin95> Does seriously no one know where are hostapd/wpa_supplicant configs generated?
Aug 17 21:31:00 <DonkeyHotei> shouldn't be too hard to find in the uci scripts, but i'm doing other things atm
Aug 17 21:36:00 <Hauke> Pepin95: package/network/services/hostapd/files/hostapd.sh
Aug 17 21:36:40 <Hauke> Pepin95: package/kernel/mac80211/files/lib/netifd/wireless/mac80211.sh
Aug 17 21:38:57 <Pepin95> Hauke: thank you!
Aug 17 21:43:57 <Hauke> Pepin95: there is also a wireless.sh script in netifd which does some parts
