I'm pretty happy with openwrt 21.02 so far, and wifi is my first love. In this case, my goal was to first test and verify correctness across several newer routers, and I got stopped by personal/political overload from doing much after 21.02-rc2. I sometimes have had the ambition to do another cerowrt (starwrt!), based on several months of realization that everybody, not just starlink, was shipping ancient kernels now, with crippling and weird offloads. But there's no way, not without 3 years of steady funding lined up, bringing in new people, and somehow trying to pay those putting in the most valuable work, I would put myself and us into that level of commitment again. There's all kinds of other stuff, in the queue there, like leveraging some of prplOS TR-XXX stuff, apple's thread and unicast mdns implementations, homenet... I'm also VERY interested in getting in on the openwifi FPGA project. So, in the case for the small grant I'm writing today, and for a larger one later, I am seeking small, limited goals, with incremental and testable gains, that can be easily cycled directly though the openwrt project, for wifi, specifically. And also looking for folk, on a paid or unpaid basis, willing to help, on any front, once again. On my *personal* list are: verifying correctness of the fq_codel implementations in 5+ different chips= ets implementing an algorithm to handle hardware retries better sort on dequeue ack-filtering reducing max txop sizes (also in the beacon), under load I fear that step 1 above might eat everything and all the time I might be able to get!? I hear the archer c7v2 is being problematic, and there are some problems with the mt76 elsewhere, also. I am very interested in y'all views as to what would be useful to tackle in wifi, in the next 3 months or so, and then, over the next year. Big picture, small picure, whatever axe you might have to grind, go for it! --=20 Fixing Starlink's Latencies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Dc9gLo6Xrwgw Dave T=C3=A4ht CEO, TekLibre, LLC
