1. 22.03 branch of mt76 does not have needed patches backported
2. openwrt 22.03 does not use latest commit of 22.03 branch of mt76

when will this problem be fixed?

It's fixed in master. You can use firmware selector to build a snapshot image with LuCI included.

[saber716rus]

as I understand it, it will be updated to the snapshot version. Right? How is the upgrade and when is the fix ported to the stable release?

[saber716rus]

when will there be a fix in the stable branch?

[Djfe]

I proposed a backport in the wifi driver repo.
WiFi LED support in the firmware of Dual Band Dual Concurrent WiFi chips (MT7615, MT7915) was added "recently" on Dec 10th.
openwrt/mt76#767

I backported all LED entries into Release 22 to fix power and usb led and allow for backporting of wifi leds in the future. But I can't make any promises that this will ever happen.

You may close this issue :)

[saber716rus]

as soon as there is a fix, I will close it. How often is the stable openwrt branch published?

[Djfe]

Usually ~4 times a year, I think.
Last ones were in April and January.
The next thing is going to be openwrt 23 release probably and that will also include a full update of the wifi driver.
There might be another small 22 release for fixing booting on ipq40xx targets. but it's highly unlikely they'd update the wifi driver for that/include more backports

looks like you were right. The commit seems to have hit version 23.05.
