Hi again, renewing my previous question to Daniel of how to help, and
adding a new question:
What's the process to get this router to show up on the list of
supported devices in Chef or the SDK or whatever method? I will get one
sometime soon and I want to know how to make an appropriate LibreMesh
image for it.
cheers,
Patrick

should be the least problematic, MT7620*A* can have external
radio components which are sometimes tricky to detect and support, but
MT7620*N* is rather trivial and the chip-support in rt2x00 was made for
that variant -- but still, don't expect the performance of ath9k or
mt76; or bring the will to actively help improving things, there are
still things missing in the driver and I will help identifying and
re-implementing them in rt2x00.
Thanks for your detailed response!
Can you tell me in more detail what you mean by "actively help improving
things"? Do I need a JTAG interface and advanced programming skills? Or can I help
just by installing LibreMesh and running a few diagnostic commands? Extracting the driver?
Something else?
As far as flashing LibreMesh, I guess it depends on the admin interface for the router...
will it work to just upload firmware through the web interface? Maybe the only way to know
is by doing it and seeing what happens?
Cheers,
Patrick
