Dynamic vlan config on ath10k seems not to work. Same config on ath9k works fine.

Config:

config wifi-device radio0
option type mac80211
option channel 36
option hwmode 11a
option path 'pci0000:01/0000:01:00.0'
option htmode VHT80
[...]

config wifi-iface
option device radio0
option network vlan1
option mode ap
[...]
option dynamic_vlan '1'
option 'vlan_tagged_interface' 'eth1'
option 'vlan_bridge' 'br-vlan'
option 'vlan_naming' '0'

Log:

Thu Feb 9 15:54:37 2017 daemon.err hostapd: WPA initialization for VLAN 1 failed (-1)
Thu Feb 9 15:54:37 2017 daemon.err hostapd: WPA deinit of wlan0.1 failed

I just tried this on my router and can see the same error for ath10k.

The ath9k radio continues to work great.

Same issue here.

Also exists in OpenWRT tracker under https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/22369

And there is a mailing list thread http://www.spinics.net/lists/hostap/msg01650.html

I have a TP-Link Archer C7 v. 2.0, running LEDE Reboot 17.01.2 r3435-65eec8bd5f, and I can confirm this issue with the ath10k 5GHz radio, and how the exact same configuration works with ath9k.

A note to the devlopers: I'd love to see this fixed. Even though I'm probably not qualified to touch the internals of //hostapd// to resolve this (without breaking other things), I'd be happy to provide any help I can.

EDIT (2017-06-25): I have created [[https://mega.nz/#!NbxjAK6Q!rlYKJAsJFKBAJFjTLXacXlyY7saqvl1vv-UURmKqUr0|a patched wpad package]] based on this [[https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/621648/|hostapd patch]]. Although the network 'works' after using this modified wpad package, mind the [[https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/hostap/2016-May/035693.html|potential repercusions]]. It would seem like the best approach would be to actually fix this at the driver level.

I would want to see this fixed also.

I can also confirm that ath9k works, ath10k does not with LEDE 17.01.2.

With OpenWRT 15.05.1 both work.

I think the VLAN feature is really important, but this is only my view. Any suggestions what a user can do, to get Qualcomm producing better drivers? Has Felix any idea or e-mail address where I can complain?

It'd seem the issue is, in fact, getting better drivers (or firmware) from Qualcomm.

I can confirm this issue still exists on OpenWrt 18.06.1, for both ath10k and ath10k-ct drivers.
ath9k works fine with the same config.

Tested it with TP-Link Archer C7 v2.0.

This is not an OpenWrt bug, but ath10k since there is no support for them in ath10k so far.
Patch for it has just been submitted couple of days ago.

The http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2018-November/012542.html works for me. With it, I get dynamic vlans on ath10k (on a TP-Link Archer A7).

I had to fix it up a little bit, and locate the matching mac80211 changes, and update the firmware. I've only updated the firmware for my device.

I have tried the patch above from Christian Limpach but I am getting the errors below.

Device I am trying on is TP-Link Archer C7 v2 using the 18.06.1 branch.

So is this already included in openwrt source code ?

I will be glad to build a firmware based on master branch and report back if it is working or not.

I'm also affected by this bug. Was hoping 18.06.2 would have included a fix for it, but it doesn't appear to.

Are there any plans to merge the patch?

hmronline:

It has been a couple years since it was initially reported, patches were available, yet none was merged for OpenWrt.

Maybe there is a reason for not resolving this, but didn't hear why so far.

Could any body help us ?

Thanks!

It has been fixed upstream some months ago and changes made it back to openwrt trunk (e.g. NOT 18.06.4 but the 5.3 backports which get used in current git HEAD (~2019-08)).

I can confirm dynamic vlan working out of the box when you compile current openwrt but you have to use ath10k instead of ath10k-ct (which became the default), also a more recent firmware (non-ct version as the ct firmwares don't seem to support the single packet raw tx mode). There is a bug open at the ct firmware as well, they might include it at some point.

Now the downside:
I have much increased ping times (~25ms) and very low throughput (<10 Mbit/s with 2x2, 80 MHz @-70dBm) with ath10k from OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r10848-4346de8d34 so this state is unusable.

I might apply the patches specifically to 18.06.4 and try again, but maybe not now :-)

NerdyProjects:

Okay, the 19.07 branch does not include the patches yet, but is already on ath10k-ct.

So:

  • See the attached patch (to be put into package/kernel/mac80211/patches/ath) for an updated version that applies to 19.07
  • Switch from ath10k-ct to ath10k, same for the firmware

It works for me without performance degradation.

AP/VLAN capability is not reported. Swapping CT to non-CT firmware solved the issue, dynamic vlan works on qc9980.

Will try tomorrow on 9984 and report back.

Hakujou:

It works on 9984 without swapping firmware. Tried on both RC2 and today's snapshot.
Installing the non-CT driver on 9984 has the opposite behaviour : AP/VLAN capability disappears.

I also tried yesterday to get dynamic vlan running with 19.07.1.

Both versions of the ath10k driver (ct and non ct) still have the same error:

Could we do anything that someone would fix the problem in openwrt ?! Any need for a ath10k card for the openwrt developer???

Noticed that ath10k wave-1 radios on 19.07.7 still have not seen the patch that should make this work, thought some are sucessfully building on C7v5, so seems possible

greearb/ath10k-ct#155

@openwrt-bot

imac:

So it looks like all that remains is to check for the CT feature required for support.

ATH10K_FW_FEATURE_CONSUME_BLOCK_ACK_CT

where the stock firmware is checked for

WMI_SERVICE_PER_PACKET_SW_ENCRYPT

Per the comments in greearb/ath10k-ct#72

The shortcut is to just hack out the decision to remove the AP/VLAN feature as shown below.

What is your router model and version? Have you downloaded the unmodified snapshot? In iw list it shows the AP/VLAN capability on the 5GHz interface?

I also tried switching drivers on the 19.07.2 but it didn't help.

I want to use dynamic VLAN with a APU2 board with Compex WLE600VX wlan card (also ath10k driver).
Is it working in openwrt 21.02.1?
