• CM: 

  • Fix handling of file descriptor in case of /dev/urandom issues

  • Reschedule stability timer only when extender mode

• WANO: 

  • QoS settings are preserved between WAN restarts

  • Enabled NAT on PPPoE and VLAN interfaces during provisioning

• LTEM:

  • Correct LTE status is displayed in OVSDB (enabled or disabled with layer 2 or 3 support)

  • Prevented deadlock situation when the LTE interface cannot connect to a cellular network

Notable Enhancements

• 6Ghz steering using operating class

• Extended WAN type with dhcp to improve visibility and handling (empty option had same operation)

• Logpull includes WAN configuration from persistent storage

• Added default PPPoe options configuration file

• FSM: 

  • Refactored source code to exclusively use the DPI client plugin framework (SNI, DNS and ADT plugins)

  • Added enhancement to the packet inspection engine to stop inspecting packets more efficiently for multicast flows.

• LTEM: MQTT message publishing when the LTE failover is completed

• Extended XM to support DHCP reservation and port forwarding

• kconfig: By default enabled HOSTAP_PSK_FILE_WPS

• Supporting newer OVS versions in LAN stats

Platform Support

• Various QSDK 11.x fixes:

  • Disable HT coexisting on 2.4Ghz STA

  • BSS healthcheck

  • Client statistics

  • CSA offset calculator

  • Unbounded memory write

• Updated QCA and BCM base kconfig multicast default settings

Release 3.4.1.0

Notable Fixes

• FSM/FCM fixes:

  • Provided missing ‘policy’ information when Gatekeeper verdict is “ALLOW”

  • Added flow direction to DNS cache

  • Fixed a crash in intf_stats_send_report() if the monitored interface is not available

Notable Enhancements

• Resolved some warnings that are produced by newer compilers (like GCC 10 and Clang 13)

• docker: Enhanced the dock-run script for use with LDAP

Platform Support

• Using ‘mcpctl reload’ instead of restarting mcp when applying changes  (platform/bcm)

• Fixes for Qualcomm 11ax platforms (QSDK 11.x or newer):
