By loading the module in rawmode?

The AP is an APU and Sta is an APU2.

It is fine by me. It is a one-line patch to fix the firmware...QCA
can ask me as well if they don't figure it out on their own.

You have a complex setup, so I think it would be best if you could break it into
simpler parts to test.

First, try just STA to AP, no vlans, and see if you get useful throughput.

Then try with VLANs

Then, try with WDS.

Then try with WDS and vlans.

In STA to AP mode with VLANs, it performed well for me.

Thanks,
Ben

Looks to me like 10.4 defaults to the right value, but possibly there are other
issues with it. I tested my CT 10.4 and it worked OK with vlans for me.

I met the same problem before,
if i modify the 1q header to other value (0xaa00) before go into firmware.
I can capture the packet in the air
I think the vlan packet is dropped in firmware.

Subject: Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] ATH10K VLAN firmware issue

The bug appears that vlan-tx-stripping is unconditionally enabled in
at least my firmware. I have re-compiled w/out that flag set, and it appears
to work for me.

Please download this firmware, rename it firmware-2.bin, make sure you remove/rename
any firmware-5.bin (etc) so mine will load, and see if that fixes your problem.

Please note that it is very likely you will have to use same MAC address
for the VLAN devices that the underlying station uses in order for this to work.

I will also do testing with that version.

For clarity can I refer you and your firmware releases in the bug report?

Thanks for the fast reply but it only solves "half" the problem.

Now the connection between the AP and the Sta can be secure and the
driver doesn't need to be loaded in rawmode.

Unfortunatly the the throughput is still bad.

Can you please elaborate more?
My setup is the folowing.
The connection between the AP and Sta is in WDS
For the moment all devices are in the same VLAN.

client1 --- SW1 ---- AP ...... Sta ---- SW2 --- client2

Subject: Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] ATH10K VLAN firmware issue

The beta-18 release on my web page has the fix and should work fine.

Probably soon I will promote the beta-18 to final release
status. Any help in testing and verifying the beta works well
is welcome.

Thanks,
Ben

Subject: Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] ATH10K VLAN firmware issue

I can reproduce this in my CT firmware. I'll see if I can fix it,
but for stock firmware, it might be that changing the driver to use Ethernet packet type
of native-wifi would make .1q vlans work.

Thanks,
Ben
