Hi, I am using a BT home Hub 5A (Lantiq VR9 MIPS BE SoC). The wifi provided by the QCA9880 chip is unstable with OpenWrt master from 26. Feb 2018.
With FW 10.2.4-1.0-00033 and 10.2.4-1.0-00037 the wifi stops working after about 1 to 3 days and I do not get any error message. With FW 10.2.4-1.0-00029 I got this error message. FW 10.2.4.70.54 crashes immediately. The 2.4 GHz wifi provided by ath9k is very stable. The wireless drivers shipped in OpenWrt master, which I am suing, are based on backports with a snapshot of wireless testing from 1. November 2017, and I am running kernel 4.9.85. .....
