Older MT7623 ARMv7 SoC as well as new Filogic platforms come with
inside-secure,safexcel-eip97 units. Enable them in DTS and select the
driver kernel module by default on those platforms.

It is common for 802.11ax NICs to support more than just AP mode, which
results in there being a distinct set of HE capabilities for each mode. As
(bad) luck would have it, iw prints out info for each HE mode in sequential
order according to `enum nl80211_iftype`, and AP mode isn't always first.
As a result, the wrong set of HE capabilities can be parsed if an AP NIC
supports station (managed) mode or any other mode preceding AP mode, since
only the first set of HE capabilities printed by iw is parsed from awk's
output.
This has a noticeable impact on beamforming for example, since managed mode
usually doesn't have beamformer capabilities enabled, while AP mode does.
Hostapd won't be set up with the configs to enable beamformer capabilities
in this scenario, causing hostapd to disable beamforming to HE stations
even when it's supported by the AP.
Always parse the correct set of HE capabilities for AP mode to fix this.
This is achieved by trimming all of iw's output prior to the AP mode
capabilities, which ensures that the first set of HE capabilities are
always for AP mode.

Doesn't have these usb wireless network cards, but did a simple test
on rtl8852be, it turns out that the rtl driver is completely rubbish
and is no longer usable.

Add driver for NVM Express block devices, ie. PCIe connected SSDs.
Targets which allow booting from NVMe (x86, maybe some mvebu boards come
to mind) should have it built-in, so rootfs can be mounted from there.
For targets without NVMe support in bootloader or BIOS/firmware it's
sufficient to provide the kernel module package.
On targets having the NVMe driver built-in the resulting kmod package
is an empty dummy. In any case, depending on or installing kmod-nvme
results in driver support being available (either because it was already
built-in or because the relevant kernel modules are added and loaded).

Accessing the console on many devices is difficult.
netconsole eases debugging on devices that crash
after the network is up.
Reference to the netconsole documentation in upstream Linux:
<https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/netconsole.html>
|
|netconsole=[+][src-port]@[src-ip]/[<dev>],[tgt-port]@<tgt-ip>/[tgt-macaddr]
|
| where
| + if present, enable extended console support
| src-port source for UDP packets (defaults to 6665)
| src-ip source IP to use (interface address)
| dev network interface (eth0)
| tgt-port port for logging agent (6666)
| tgt-ip IP address for logging agent
| tgt-macaddr ethernet MAC address for logging agent (broadcast)
OpenWrt specific notes:
OpenWrt's device userspace scripts are attaching the network
interface (i.e. eth0) to a (virtual) bridge (br-lan) device.
This will cause netconsole to report:
|network logging stopped on interface eth0 as it is joining a master device
(and unfortunately the traffic/logs to stop at this point)
As a workaround, the netconsole module can be manually loaded
again after the bridge has been setup with:
insmod netconsole netconsole=@/br-lan,@192.168.1.x/MA:C...
One way of catching errors before the handoff, try to
append the /etc/modules.conf file with the following extra line:
options netconsole netconsole=@/eth0,@192.168.1.x/MA:C...
and install the kmod-netconsole (=y) into the base image.
