[LEDE-DEV] bug / brcm47xx / mips74l / Netgear WNDR3400 V1

Sat Jul 15 12:21:11 PDT 2017

Hello,

first of all, I would like to apologize for my extremely late feedback. 
I have switched back to OpenWrt and postponed experiments with LEDE 
indefinitely. For several days, I have seen an announcement about LEDE 
17.01.2 and have realized, that I forgot to do the analysis and give you 
some feedback – sorry.

So I have installed LEDE 17.01.2 
(lede-17.01.2-brcm47xx-mips74k-standard-squashfs.trx) today and I found 
out, that this version has the same problem.

Then I have compared the list of installed packages with OpenWrt 15.05.1 
and three important packages were missing.

Once I installed “kmod-mac80211”, “kmod-cfg80211” and “kmod-b43” and 
restarted the router, I was able to see, configure and finally use both 
wireless interfaces (screenshot attached).

Either the file “lede-17.01.2-brcm47xx-mips74k-standard-squashfs.trx” 
doesn't contain these three packages, so I would suggest to add them in 
the next release, or the file contains these packages, but they are 
hidden or inaccessible due some error.

I thing, that the bug with ID 455, which is on the V2 version of this 
router (I have V1) has the same root cause.

Best regards
Ondrej Pumr
