No, I do not include packet injection for wl1251 driver in default power-kernel. It is not stable.

Packet injection for power kernel will be in future in external deb package (users can decide to install or not new wl1251 driver). Lxp has created some scripts for building its driver in power-kernel (not released yet).

So I do not care about packet injection. All patches needed to build new wl1251 driver are applied in v47. So if somebody want to build it, there are no problems (and is not needed to recompile power-kernel).

I think that red led is probably a warning from savecpu due to the misread temperature....

And not to spam - installed updated kernel and operation seems fine, if not good, perhaps great. Thanks pali!

just installed you v47 didn't experience any new bugs, yet.

very good.
keep up the good work

So... how exactly is the injection-capable driver less stable than the normal one? Is there any bug that has actually been obviously indicated as inherent in the injection-capable driver? Or are we using unstable in a circular-reasoning sense where it's an unofficial new driver so it must be unstable, and thus can't be considered as stable?

- Edit -
Not that I'm against a seperate package for injection driver, which is now doable if the future power kernels are getting compiled with cfg80211 as a module instead of the previous static linking. Choice is always nice. However, I honestly don't recall any issues concretely linked to the injection driver. So it seems like an unnecessary choice unless the injection driver is actually somehow worse or less stable.

Many thanks for your hard work Pali.

I've been running power47 for around 14 hours use with normal phone/web activity.

I've seen no downsides so far, and the UI is definitely more responsive compared to power46.

just found this thread,,,,, new kernel!!!!

testing!

THANK YOOU

FYI, users of WL1 - you can still use this kernel with the injection drivers just fine.

Since pali has included the patches but not built the modules, you can strip versioning from WL1 drivers and force loading them using `insmod -f` on any kernel that has incorporated the patches.

Have fun!

Downloaded, Installed, looks good so far, works with multiboot as well.
Thanks a lot Pali, keep up the good work.

Mine actually seems to work fine without any versioning stripping or -f flag on insmod. This is the first reboot since I installed, and I haven't tested injection itself so maybe there could be some odd half-working state there, but I was able to put the card into monitor mode and the modules loaded fine, and connected to my home WPA2-only network fine, and my educated guess would be it either works or the kernel just tosses the whole module as invalid.
