Package firmware for AsiaRF AW7916-NPD
11:25:24 | nbd: Is there any reason, why mt7986-firmware ( https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/package/kernel/mt76/Makefile#L231 ) depends on mediatek_filogic? Because there is one miniPCIe card with that chipset, so it could be used at any router with miniPCIe slots, right? | |

11:27:23 | mt7986 is a SoC | |
11:27:34 | what minipcie card is there with it? | |
11:30:08 | nbd: https://www.asiarf.com/shop/wifi-wlan/wifi_mini_pcie/wifi6e-3000-802-11ax-3t3r-dbdc-mpcie/ and https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/package/kernel/mt76/Makefile#L472 | |
11:30:41 | that's 7916, not 7986 | |
11:31:43 | Well, check the scheme. It's pretty confusing, though. There are two chips. There is MT7976 series and that requires the FW which is in mt7986-firmware package | |
11:32:07 | 7975/7976 are just frontends | |
11:32:28 | they don't take firmware | |
11:32:43 | the files in the mt7986-firmware package are mt7986 specific | |
11:32:55 | we need to add a separate package for 7916, but it will have different files | |
11:33:03 | even when they use the same 7975/7976 frontends | |
11:37:13 | Uh, ok. Thanks for explanation. |
Workaround: download firmware from linux-firmware.git
@jhoracek has these cards to test.
