It'd be nice if there was a wireless card intended for DIY'ers who just want to build an access point :P Give me two radios and no bluetooth on one pcie card... I'm actually looking for something more: Give me something that looks like an AP with a nice-looking shell + good antenna, but with aarch64 running a hackable platform like openwrt | 00:50:08 |

There's lots of dualband radios on one card, also without bluetooth (QCA95xx, QCA61xx), but only one band at a time, so you ultimately need two. | 00:50:24 |
| hexa | Zhaofeng Li: Unifi 6 LR is armv8 | 00:50:48 |
 ElvishJerricco | hexa: Right, I meant one card that could do both at the same time. That'd be neat | 00:50:50 |

Zhaofeng Li: Unifi 6 LR is armv8 Yeah, but too bad the firmware isn't that hackable (I mean you can get root and so stuff, but it's pretty limiting) | 00:51:49 |
| Zhaofeng Li | I have two unifi aps at home which work just fine, but I wished I had more control | 00:52:22 |

| hexa | I don't understand the limitations you describe though? | 00:52:39 |

 Church | hexa I probably need to forward 25 from wg0 to eth0 on my remote as well right? | 00:53:09 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Can you install custom firmware on those things? I thought the updates are all signed | 00:53:22 |
| hexa | 1. Connect to the booted device at 192.168.1.20 using username/password
"ubnt".
2. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the device using SCP.
3. Check the mtd partition number for bs / kernel0 / kernel1
$ cat /proc/mtd
4. Set the bootselect flag to boot from kernel0
$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock6
5. Write the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to both kernel0 as well as kernel1
$ dd if=openwrt.bin of=/dev/mtdblock8
$ dd if=openwrt.bin of=/dev/mtdblock9
6. Reboot the device. It should boot into OpenWrt.

hexa I probably need to forward 25 from wg0 to eth0 on my remote as well right? No, iptables just needs to mark that traffic, the rest happens with routing based on that fwmark | 00:55:02 |

| Zhaofeng Li | Well, it's an AP so it doesn't matter that much | 00:56:15 |
| hexa | yup | 00:56:18 |
| Church | Hmm what would be the easiest way for me to see how a packet flows? | 01:00:58 |
| hexa | tcpdump to see the packet | 01:01:15 |
| hexa | then use ip route get <dest> from <src> | 01:01:27 |
| ElvishJerricco | So on a dual band router, does the OS on the router see two different wireless interfaces, one for each band? | 01:28:48 |
| hexa | yes | 01:37:50 |
| Church | Hmm, is there not a mangle table on nixOS? | 02:43:04 |
| Church | Seems to not be there by default at least when I try to insert a rule | 02:43:18 |
