Hello Felix
Hello Community,

I'm working on openwrt-23.05/openwrt-24.10 and want to add
a new Wifi7 module that doesn't work with the current stack
because some patches are missing. While I'm researching, I'm
wondering how the mac80211 package is generated.

Until the commit[1] the backports[2] from linux were used.

Who generates the backport package that is now on the mirror
server of openwrt?

Is there a workflow for this?


Best regards

Florian
