Instead the old and new firmware should coexist (for example have firmware-2.bin for the new version and firmware.bin for the old version). Then mt76 should first try loading the new firmware (eg. firmware-2.bin) and then try the old one (eg. firmware.bin). Should we revert commit c222f77fd4 or how to solve this? -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

If so, are you able to provide a traffic sniff obtained from a monitor interface running on a node connected to the same SSID when the MT7922 client is trying to connect? It would be very helpful if you can run this test with encryption enabled and disabled. Thanks in advance.

I had hoped someone would rely with an opinion on this, but nobody did (and the reporter didn't reply to Lorenzo inquiry). So if you asked for mine: Hmmm. Tricky. This was the only such report I noticed. Giving that and the risk that a revert might cause regressions on its own, I guess it might be better to leave everything as it is for now - and re-evaluate the situation in case more problems show up.

This wasn't handled as it IMHO should be, but whatever, at this point it afaics is best to leave things as they are, unless more reports of this kind show up.
