Stuff's cropping up. Someone ran into the same exact issue, but with a Xiaomi Redmi AX6000 unit (SoC - MediaTek MT7986A, WLAN - MediaTek MT7976AN, MediaTek MT7976GN): [Add OpenWrt support...

I just commented out the workaround script and rebooted the main dumb AP, and WLAN connections still work as if nothing had happened. 😆 I also rebooted the OPNsense firewall,...

Disabled the original script and added the following to /etc/rc.local (using the config options breaks the radios on a non-roaming setup - on my end): echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/wlan0/proxy_arp echo...

Okay, I have done lots of testing since 5:30 AM EST, and I found out I can only use either the original workaround script or **_possibly_** the two command lines...

Getting weird: this is preliminary info. Found out that if you install 22.03.3, you do get odd behavior as mentioned in the original post of this issue... but if you...

@xNUTx Yeah, wireless Internet connections with 22.03.3 seem to work with pfSense/OPNsense non-bridged LAN setups just fine. Now I have an unused Intel 4-port Gigabit card. 😆 This also confirms...

This issue is slowly going off the first page, so I'll pin it on my browser tab list. Looks like it's time to look into the source code (again). That's...
