601-ucode_support.patch adds the first link of an AP MLD on the
existing netdev with no address, and hostapd_setup_bss() then takes the
netdev address, the MLD address, as the link address. A link on a
radio other than radio 0, whose configured BSSID hostapd.uc keeps apart
from the MLD address (bss_mld_addr()), beaconed with the MLD address,
while ubus get_status reported the configured BSSID. A subscriber that
built its BSS Transition candidates from get_status named a BSSID that
nothing transmitted.
Add a patch that keeps the configured BSSID as the link address and
takes the netdev address as the MLD address, as hostapd_driver_init()
does for the first interface. Without a configured BSSID, the link
takes a random address with the OUI of the netdev, as
hostapd_driver_init() does (pre_setup_mld), so that the link address
cannot be the MLD address: a later link that is given the MLD address
as its BSSID would fail ADD_LINK with -EALREADY. hostapd.uc always sets
a BSSID, so OpenWrt configurations take the configured address.
Have get_status and the channel-switch event report hapd->own_addr,
the address the BSS transmits with, instead of conf->bssid, which is
all zeros where the configuration names none.

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Download
Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.
If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.
An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.8+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
