 matthewcroughan | This is actually awesome and the nixos module for hostapd is amazing | 16:32:36 |
| matthewcroughan | Can only imagine how much I'd be scratching my head without that assertion | 16:41:12 |
| matthewcroughan | it would be really nice if we could change the hostapd module to take a list of strings in the ssid option | 16:49:08 |
| matthewcroughan | Is there even a limit on the number of SSIDs that there can be? | 16:58:15 |
| matthewcroughan | K900: you have BF-ANTENNA-4 in your hostapd config, shouldn't it be BF-ANTENNA-3 ? | 17:05:49 |
 K900 | Uhh | 17:06:05 |
| K900 | I forgot | 17:06:06 |
| K900 | I stole that from openwrt | 17:06:11 |
| matthewcroughan | I also noticed that wifi5 is missing from your 2.4g config, is that intentional? | 17:07:45 |
| K900 | 11ac can't work on 2.4G | 17:18:14 |
 emily | oh hey | 17:27:29 |
| emily | root@OpenWrt:~# iwinfo phy0.2-ap0 txpowerlist
255 dBm (2147483647 mW)
| 17:27:31 |
| emily | that's fun | 17:27:33 |
| emily | I'm wondering if this reproduces on a non-busted unit | 17:27:55 |
| matthewcroughan | what is iwinfo part of? | 17:28:56 |
| matthewcroughan | this program is unique to openwrt | 17:29:11 |
| emily | idk check nix-locate, it's just an OpenWrt command that people on the one GitHub issue mentioned | 17:29:12 |
| matthewcroughan | what should I run for nixos? | 17:29:17 |
| matthewcroughan | https://github.com/openwrt/iwinfo | 17:29:28 |
| matthewcroughan | unless we want to compile this | 17:29:31 |
| emily | I doubt it's hard to compile | 17:29:35 |
| emily | I didn't see iw give weird output | 17:29:47 |
| emily | like iw phy just shows the 7 dBm figure. | 17:30:24 |
| emily | I'm mostly curious what it would say for K900 | 17:30:34 |
| matthewcroughan | I have a bad unit and a good unit | 17:32:29 |
| matthewcroughan | What I don't have is the iwinfo command | 17:32:35 |
| emily | I mean… have you tried make? | 17:34:52 |
| emily | I guess it needs -luci and stuff so that's kind of annoying. | 17:35:24 |
| emily | the actual logic it's doing doesn't look complicated though | 17:35:32 |
| matthewcroughan | 5 hours later... | 17:41:19 |
