we just released Turris OS 3.9.6 into RC. It contains mainly bugfixes (plenty of them) but also few minor enhancements. Full release notes are following:
Sometimes during night 28.2.2018 2.4 GHz WiFi got lostā¦ (maybe it was mising earlier and I simply didnāt notice, but I remeber connecting my tablet to TOjp2 WiFi [2.4 GHz] during 28.2. day). Neither āwifi reloadā nor reboot did help.
In Foris there is displayed 5 GHz WiFi only, āEnable WiFi 2ā clickable box isnāt displayed.
In LuCI (-> network ā wireless) it can be seen
Generic 802.11 Wireless Controller (radio1)
SSID: TOjp2 | Mode: Master
Wireless is disabled or not associated
But, instead of something simmilar to what is displayed for 5 GHz WiFi, i.e.:
/etc/config/lxc-auto should not be overwriten. Can you check that you had it modified before update and that it was listed in /usr/lib/opkg/info/lxc-auto.conffiles? Regarding the WiFi, one idea would be delete /etc/config/wireless and regenerate it using wifi detect and see what changed, but there should be almost no change regarding WiFi in this release.
Can you confirm that you have Data collection enabled? If so, try to switch it off, apply uninstalling ucollect (if you use installation approvals) and reboot the router.
as @Pepe wrote: We released a another RC with new kernel. Wi-Fi issue should be fixed and no other action need to be done @jada4p (you can let Data collection enabled)
Iām quite sure Iād modified /etc/config/lxc-auto because of Ubuntu container. But, later, in course of some experiments with Ubuntu container, I made all modifications comments.
As to your request - yes, it is listed there:
root@turris:~# ls -l /usr/lib/opkg/info/lxc-auto.conffiles
-rw-rār-- 1 root root 21 Feb 28 11:53 /usr/lib/opkg/info/lxc-auto.conffiles
root@turris:~# cat /usr/lib/opkg/info/lxc-auto.conffiles
/etc/config/lxc-auto
As to WiFi, it should be, according to @Pepe, solved in recently released new RC. Letās see - I do hope so!
That was the same with me. In fact, Iāve already tried it. I can confirm that I have Data collection on. I was waiting for @jada4p because itās his discovery. I turned on Data collection again and then updated it. It seems all Iāve enabled is running.
Sorry, itās in other way. LuCI does see 5 GHz Qualcomm Atheros QCA986x/988x (combo 5 & 2.4 GHz) card, but doesnāt see 2.4 GHz Qualcomm Atheros AR9287 card.
Do you still think I should reset wireless network or is there some other way?
So I think you misconfigured something in the configuration file - /etc/config/wireless.
EDIT: Finally, I understand, where you have a problem.
All WiFI networks are working for you.
But you just complain that for 5 GHz card in LuCI you can see Qualcomm Atheros QCA986x/988x , but for 2.4 GHz there is name Generic MAC80211 802.11bgn, which you donāt like and you want to see Atheros AR9287.
Iām extreemly sorry, but Iām affraid you still donāt understand me. I didnāt directly modified /etc/config/wireless, all what I did was that I used Foris and LuCI to āreviveā 2.4 GHz WiFi. The problem is that LuCI does recognize 5 GHz (combo) card (Qualcomm Atheros QCA9880), but doesnāt recognize 2.4 GHz only card (Qualcomm Atheros AR9287), assuming it is Generic MAC80211 card. The lspci command does recognize both cards for what they are.
Please donāt take me wrong, I donāt want to quarell with you (or anybody else), I only want to clarify the situation.
Even if you configured stuff just from LuCI/Foris, try regenerating /etc/config/wireless, there might be some leftovers from time when your WiFi didnāt work.
Now I cleared and re-generated /etc/config/wireless, as suggested by @Miska and @Pepe. I compared it with functioning previous version of itself (before RC 3.9.6), found in snapshot, and modified it accordingly (channels etc.). Both WiFis are working. But, to my amazement, the 2.4 GHz card is still displayed as Generic MAC80211 802.11bgn (radio1) in LuCI I donāt understand it and Iām lost. I think Iām finished: Iāll take this as matter of fact and stop wonder and ask
