[OpenWrt-Devel] OpenWrt: read label MAC address for FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 300E

[Adrian Schmutzler]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to remove the dependency of label_mac in 02_network from phy setup, i.e. replacing stuff like
$(cat /sys/class/ieee80211/phyX/macaddress)
with extraction from the proper flash location.

One obstacle is the AVM FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 300E, where the calibration data is extracted with
caldata_extract_reverse "urloader" 0x1541 0x440

Is there a sufficiently easy way to get the MAC address out of there _without_ relying on initialized Wifi?
I'm looking for something like
label_mac=$(some_extraction_function "urloader" <some_offset>)
Technically, it should be somewhere in the reversed caldata, shouldn't it?

If this is not possible (with reasonable effort), I would just calculate it based on the lan_mac in 02_network.

Best

Adrian

Subject: [OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH 2/2] ath79: read label MAC address from flash instead of using phy0/phy1

This replaces all uses of $(cat /sys/class/ieee80211/phyX/macaddress)
by retrieval from the proper flash locations. This will make
02_network independent of WiFi setup again.

For the AVM FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 300E this replacement is non-trivial.
As it would be the only device in the whole trunk to keep the old
mechanism, this drops label MAC address for this device for now.

Is there an easy way to retrieve phy0 MAC address from fritz-300e?
Can it by deduced from the caldata extraction by assuming the
standard MAC offset after reverse?
