AX86U + 386.7


Is that a problem?

dirty flash over the beta version
everything working fine so far
thxs Merlin !

 

[northumberland]

Anyone else having issues with sourceforge not letting you download? tried on 3 devices and mirrors from sourceforge.

Edit: >_> Skynet was geo blocking the country it was coming from changed mirror to country I allow.

Tried whitelisting the domain?

 

[beep]

Hi all,
Am I the only one with fstab not being read?

It seems to me that when using "mount -a", it is

/rom/etc/fstab

and not

/etc/fstab

which is loaded.

Therefore, any entry put into /jffs/configs/fstab, copied at boot in /etc/fstab, is not used when using the mount command.

@RMerlin, is that possibly a bug?

I'm on RT-AX86U if that matters.

@papypaprika and @RMerlin : having the same issue on my AX58U.

 

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

I uninstalled Diversion a few days prior to installing 386.7 - since I learned that it was causing the dcd / trendmicro crash.

I do have ipv6 enabled (native, ppp, dhcp-pd enabled). ipv6 works just fine though - devices get ipv6 and are connecting to ipv6 sites with no problems.



I did not manually add/edit the dnsmasq.postconf file, but I do have manual ip assignments via the dhcp server web ui - didn’t change anything. Devices receive their manual ip assignments normally.

Prior to the crash, it was giving an IP address assignment to my work laptop which has a domain - dnsmasq was ignoring said domain. 7 seconds later, it crashed.

15 seconds before that, it was normal dnsmasq startup chatter

Are you using yazfi dhcp script as well?

 

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

I'll consider reverting it for the next release unless I don`t get any other similar report of dnsmasq crashes.

I don't see anyone else reporting this oddity with dnsmasq, perhaps is something specific client side as the OP indicated the behavior present on a work laptop.

 

[Wishmaster1965]

One thing I found, don't know if this is 38.6.7 related.

When I go to the Web page the items on the left show the sub menus, no idea how this came about.

Hi Merlin, thanks for the latest release 386.7. After upgrading from 386.5_2 directly, I saw in the log:

Is this any cause for concern? It happened 4 times after the upgrade reboot, and it didn't show again (for now)

I'm also have this on my log Asus AX86U. Is there anything I should be worried about?

 

[AntonK]

One thing I found, don't know if this is 38.6.7 related.

When I go to the Web page the items on the left show the sub menus, no idea how this came about.

That's the scMerlin script, I believe.

 

[BobbyFlobby]

Had to roll back to 386.5_2 due to wifi weirdness. Not sure what was the issue but a lot of my IoT devices just would not remain connected reliably. Back on 386.5_2 and everything is once again stable. Who knows what was going one….

same issue on an ax86u, I tried factory and still same. previous version works well.

 

[magwa_sc]

RT-AC5300

2.4 and 5G#2 works fine
5G#1 connects but these no upload data when doing a speed test. Internet doesn't work very well if at all.

I've done 2 clean factory defaults but same problem.

Any suggestions, I'm going back versions at the moment but still the same thing.

I have a RT-AC5300 and did 386.5_2 -> 387 dirty upgrade and don't have this issue (or any issues that I have found so far).

 

[steetiehj]

anyone had issues when trying to add a new AIMESH node? I get to 1% adding the node after reseting the factory default on the node and then it fails? I'm trying to connect a RT-AC68U to a RT-AC68U which worked fine until the upgrade. I've had issues since this update and had to factory reset the node, and now can't get it to add back.

Are you trying to connect via wifi? My experience is that this fails when adding node 95% of the time. Either way, temporarily move AiMesh node adjacent to primary router. Connect Ethernet cable from LAN port of primary router to WAN port of node. Try again, and it should add the node. Disconnect cable and move node back to original location. It should now connect via Ethernet OR wifi without issue.

 

[MysticGold04]

Update from 386.5_2 went well. Had issues with some iot devices reconnecting, but reboots solved them. Up and running for about a day with no issues. With 386.5_2, the wireless would randomly die. Sometimes within a few hours, other times - weeks or more. Interested to see how this version goes. I’ve tested aimesh with beta 2 and there were no issues using my 68u’s as nodes with wireless backhaul.

many thanks Merlin!

Yes, for setup, I had to connect the node via lan to wan for it to work. Once it was added, I moved the node to its place…

 

[RMerlin]

I don't see anyone else reporting this oddity with dnsmasq, perhaps is something specific client side as the OP indicated the behavior present on a work laptop.

I actually sent him a test build with the fix reverted, and dnsmasq was still crashing. So, unrelated to that backport.

 

[RMerlin]

It seems to me that when using "mount -a", it is

/rom/etc/fstab

and not

/etc/fstab

which is loaded.

This is by design. On HND Busybox will use /rom/etc/fstab, and on other platforms it will use /etc/fstab. You'd have to ask Broadcom why it's designed that way, I don't know.

Therefore, any entry put into /jffs/configs/fstab, copied at boot in /etc/fstab, is not used when using the mount command.

That is correct. Since I do not know the reason behind that design decision, I don't want to risk changing it back to /etc/fstab and running the risk of breaking something else. So for the time being, HND models cannot use /jffs/configs/fstab.

The reason the bahaviour changed in 386.7 is because I updated busybox to apply a few missing Broadcom patches to it, which includes the switch to use /rom/etc/fstab.

Thank you for this, connected via Ethernet, configured and then moved back to how originally set up and all now up and running again.

 

[Paliv]

I had a couple streaming sticks act funny after getting 386.7 up and running with a full reset. This didn’t happen with the latest stock firmware. But I rebooted the router and the devices and no issues since.

 

[dave14305]

Anyhow, my ISP provide me a 48 bit length IPv6 range of addresses; what I'm doing wrong right now? Why I stepped down from 48 to 64 bit?

You’re probably being delegated a /48 (check /tmp/wan0_bound6.env for PREFIXES=). But the firmware is hardcoding a /64 when assigning a prefix length to br0.

Hardcoded /64 into ipv6_prefix_length:
