**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Dec 25 02:59:59 2018 Dec 25 10:00:29 <_abc_> Hi. Has anyone seen a mc80211 on openwrt which refuses to work as sta with certain ap's? The openwrt is on tp-link and is to work as client, not sta. The setup was made with an older openwrt release, openwrt was updated without changing the config, worked fine until changes in config were made with luci web gui, then it could not be re-enabled. Dec 25 10:00:34 <_abc_> Other STA and AP configs on the same device work (with different ap, same encryption and other settings) Dec 25 10:01:07 <_abc_> So is there something specific "sometimes" happening to certain openwrt versions in STA mode? Anyone seen such a bug? Dec 25 10:01:58 <_abc_> Specifically on 17.01.4 vs 17.01.0 or .1 I think Dec 25 10:23:37 <_abc_> There's something which seems to fix the reverse kind of failure at https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/ap_sta -- at "Fix loss of AP when STA (Client) mode fails by reverting to default" -- could this be related? I am going to try something like that soon. Dec 25 10:30:05 _abc_: sta *is* client Dec 25 10:31:02 <_abc_> russell--: yes. The openwrt acts as client on a wifi net and supplies ethernet side clients with nat's internet access. Dec 25 10:31:42 what doesn't work? Dec 25 10:31:45 <_abc_> russell--: it works with android tethers as ap, works as ap when set up so, does not work with one old dlink box with which it worked until now Dec 25 10:32:40 <_abc_> again: 1) worked: as STA client on existing wifi net on dlink ap 2) works as client on android ap (wifi tether) 3) does not work reverted to config 1) after 2) Dec 25 10:32:59 <_abc_> Looked at uci export / show, nothing seems amiss there, tried manually from cli, no joy Dec 25 10:33:19 <_abc_> The encryption mode etc are the same as before, the key is correct, other clients connect with it just fine Dec 25 10:33:30 <_abc_> Something is amiss in the way the dlink wants the connection Dec 25 10:33:46 clashing network numbering? Dec 25 10:34:25 <_abc_> The working connection 1) was made under an older luci/openwrt 17 series release, then openwrt was updated to 17.04.1 and 1) continued to work unchanged, but now when I try to set the same config it does not pair with the dlink ap Dec 25 10:34:37 <_abc_> russell--: no, the nets are distinct as they were before this Dec 25 10:34:58 <_abc_> There's something strange going on with the drivers, I am 99% sure of this Dec 25 10:35:15 this is more of an #openwrt question, i'm going to answer there Dec 25 10:35:25 <_abc_> I am there too, cross posting Dec 25 10:35:30 <_abc_> go ahead russell-- , thanks Dec 25 10:35:46 <_abc_> Except I am 99% sure it is devel related Dec 25 10:36:17 <_abc_> possibly-exposed obscure bug in drivers Dec 25 10:52:45 <_abc_> which wpa2 sec protocols were deleted recently due to being insecure please? Dec 25 13:28:40 mangix: If we only get hostapd updates every 2 years, we will probably soon use a snapshot version again, I am not really sure if we should switch to the tarballs Dec 25 16:08:46 hi, does the flyspray bug tracker have RSS feeds? Dec 25 16:11:21 ok, its https://bugs.openwrt.org/feed.php?feed_type=rss2&project=2 Dec 25 16:12:44 these new "smart" web browsers don't detect this stuff, I had to open the ancient opera 12 to see the RSS feed link near the bar address Dec 25 16:13:58 yeah, it's quite annoying Dec 25 16:14:11 looking at the page source code often works as well Dec 25 16:14:31 by replacing rss2 with atom you can change the format, if you'd prefer that Dec 25 16:14:43 or if you rather use your email client, there's http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-bugs/ Dec 25 16:14:59 thanks for the info Dec 25 16:17:12 also pages used to have a rss button/link somewhere on the page if they provided feeds and not just tags Dec 25 16:17:49 not this one Dec 25 16:18:33 I'm talking about the good old days, not today ;) Dec 25 22:40:47 well, in the good old days, you could actually get content in feeds, but advertising killed it all. Dec 25 22:44:04 it's not too bad, rss is still very useful for many (particularly news-) sources (BBC has switched to slightly short teasers, most others are still better) Dec 25 22:45:22 I'd really like rss feeds from github Dec 25 22:45:36 or something, I still haven't found a useful way of aggregating repositories Dec 25 22:46:07 github rss (commit-)feeds are per repo, rather useful - but you have to fetch them individually Dec 25 22:46:17 hm Dec 25 22:46:55 I mean, ideally i'd have something that used git fetch and generated stuff, but just github will do I guess Dec 25 22:47:08 useful for watching repositories without having to drill down into commit logs Dec 25 22:47:25 https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commits/master.atom Dec 25 22:47:42 oh thats useful, didnt know they had that Dec 25 22:47:56 thanks Dec 25 22:49:39 I was surprised something doesn't already exist tbh Dec 25 22:49:47 for aggregating commits that is Dec 25 22:51:19 quite sad that firefox has dropped its internal (minimal) rss reader Dec 25 22:51:26 heh Dec 25 22:51:52 hm, wonder how difficult it would be to extract info from git without having to write stuff to interact with repos Dec 25 22:52:04 must be diable, gitea et al manage it Dec 25 22:52:07 doable* Dec 25 22:52:13 I don't really use(d) it regularly, but it was very convenient to get an initial grasp of it Dec 25 22:52:18 yeah Dec 25 22:52:20 I miss rss Dec 25 22:52:46 perhaps a pet project at some point Dec 25 22:53:20 what I do use very actively are https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/ and rss2email (previously akregator, but the current versions, thanks, no - thunderbird's rss doesn't look too bad though) Dec 25 22:53:54 I used thunderbirds for a while, apart from it presenting them as mail/news it was pretty good Dec 25 22:54:42 https://github.com/wking/rss2email feeding into a local imapd (dovecot) and reading/ sorting via claws mail Dec 25 22:55:12 you know what, I rarely even read my mail these days Dec 25 22:55:20 I spent more time in chrome than anywhere Dec 25 22:55:24 spend* Dec 25 22:56:21 doesn't look like it should be toooo difficult to knock up a webui that can aggregate arbitary repos **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Dec 26 03:00:01 2018
