[Dev] Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 development

[RMerlin]

Nice work!!!

think this will be ready by Christmas break?

In theory it should. The hardest part is done, I'm mostly waiting for a few missing GPLs before entering the formal beta cycle, which should last a few weeks.

Will you then expand to other routers like the GT-AXE11000?

GT-AXE11000 support was already merged a week ago.

AC88u is also expected for 388? Or will 386 stay forever?

I don't have any info to share regarding AC models.

Router is on non-ROG fw, yet ROG gui is visible. I have reinstalled fw twice and rebooted additional times. I will check router later to verify gui issue has subsided. Weird

Maybe reset to defaults or...?

Clear your cache.

Waiting for beta cycle to hit.

Question for @RMerlin, will 388 be using a newer version of OpenSSL than the version 1.1.1 used on the current 386.x branch? Reason for asking is the SANS notice of a critical vulnerability in OpenSSL 3.0.x, with a fix supposedly coming next Tuesday with the release of OpenSSL version 3.0.7:

Clear your cache.

Will you also be able to build for the firstborn of the HND platform? (ac86u)

Master... you can't imagine how many people are waiting to have WireGuard in our dear AC86u.

See the followup message on the mailing list - https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-announce/2022-October/000240.html 1.1.1 isnt affected.

I don't have any info to share regarding AC models.

That may give me a full legit reason to upgrade my AC68u.

Didn't say 1.1.1 was affected, OpenSSL 3.0.x is what is affected per one of the link I posted and as indicated in my post. I'm asking if OpenSSL will be updated from OpenSSL 1.1.1 to another version of OpenSSL with the move to 388.

Per https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/tree/master/release/src/router/openssl-1.1 I'm going with no.

Master... you can't imagine how many people are waiting to have WireGuard in our dear AC86u.

But the add-on works fine now.

This is great news @jakey - why I have been eagerly waiting for Merlin's finishing this build (can't risk an alpha and trying right now, as I'm working from home, etc).

My expectation was the even the low-powered AX58U will be significantly faster on Wireguard than OpenVPN, as AX58U is tricore and Wireguard is multithreaded - your 3x improvement over OpenVPN measurements made my day Thanks very much !

And there is more..... Wireguard even runs better directly on a desktop!

I'm running WireGuard on my AC86U right now...and with Flow Cache enabled! I believe the AC86U is the only model that allows Flow Cache with WireGuard if I'm not mistaken.

Merlin I see 2 files in the latest zip,

GT-AXE11000_388.1_alpha1_rog-g5fb71044da_pureubi
GT-AXE11000_388.1_alpha1-g5fb71044da_pureubi

What is the difference? Which one should I install?
