we just released new version of Turris OS into RC. As usual, it contains just bunch of fixes and few updates that seems small and isolated. Full release notes are as follows:
You are running container debian from internal memory which is not recommended and can severally damage your router! This is not covered by warranty! Please use storage module in Foris to move it somewhere else!
Many thanks for the long awaited Wireguard package update.
I hope it can stay up to date in the future releases as well.
When did Omnia switch to ath10k-ct by default?
I don’t remember such change.
The reason im asking is because there are many stability issues with it in the past,
including some topics here on the forum, and the last time I tried it randomly crashed on
5GHz for me as well. Since using ath10k non-ct I had very stable both 2.4Ghz and 5GHz wireless.
Few more changes, LXC notification should work as expected on old Turris, included ucollect workaround for some corner-cases and new kernel came out in the meantime
How can I do the ath10k replacement by the ath10k-ct?
I’m facing to the problem hidden somewhere in updater. I’m not able to persuade it to remove kmod-ath10k together with its firmware and install kmod-ath10k-ct with a corresponding FW.
See my user.lua file with pkgupdate output below.
Thanks.

There should be a very “good” reason for you to try ath10k-ct.
At first I thought it would be a better implementation of the closed source ath10k as well,
since Candella got NDA for the source from Qualcomm and were intended to improve it,
especially I liked the promising factor that you can apparently report bugs and have a
discussion with a real person, rather than mailing your issues to a huge chip manufacturer
that gives little to zero priority to any open source non-hardware issues.
Turns out the bugs and crashes were even more significant, and you can as well see it on this
forum where various people had multiple issues with ath10k-ct.
I’d keep stock unless somehow you managed to already get better and stable performance with ct.
@turrisuser
My motivation was caused by the buggy ath10k module, which crashes under the heavy wifi load. You made me nervous about the “ct” module stability and also Miska’s information about deprecating the original ath10k. I’m trapped somehow, because I need to restart my router every week.
@miska
Thanks for the help. But it seems that “ct” module is not compatible with the omnia kernel.

“There is one know issue - ath10k-ct driver is not working, missing one more fix. We know about that and we will address it in next release but as it wasn’t working till now and therefor most likely everybody is using the official one, we decided to release nevertheless.”
