the problem is that there’s no connectivity at all , I can connect to
the AP (only without encryption ) and the ssid doesn’t always show on my
mobile phone.
the usb port is working fine , I tried mounting a usb flash drive with
no problem.
also the adapter is working , I tried it on Orange pi , Raspberrypi ,
bcm6328 , all with openwrt installed on them and didn’t have any problem .
I guess it is something related to bcm6318 or its architecture code .
the onboard broadcom pci wifi is working .
I suspected that its a power problem so I added an external usb power ,
but with same issues.
also I tried openwrt 19 ,18 ,17 with same problem.
I’m also using two bcm6328 routers as point to point wifi 5ghz link with
Ralink RT5572 chipset ( rt2800usb driver ) withouyt any problem.
dmesg is filled with :
[ 1269.191198] rt2800usb_tx_sta_fifo_read_completed: 13054 callbacks

using rmmod to remove rt2800usb module results in kernel crash
/sometimes hang and sometimes panic and reboot.
steps to reproduce:
-boot the router with usb wifi dongle
-configure it as access point or client mode and enable it
- dmesg log starts to fill and adapter is not working
