Patch I closes besser#1 — the wsm_generic_confirm 0x0007 dmesg storm. One-line guard in bes2600_hw_scan() refuses the 5 GHz iteration of mac80211's per-band hw_scan loop with -EOPNOTSUPP, so the firmware never sees the scan request that would be rejected with status 2 → -EINVAL cascade. Phase 7 verified 2026-05-18 on ohm running pkgrel=2: Pattern A 14.3/h → 0/h over 30-min window, no WARN/BUG, single-band 2.4 GHz scans still return BSSes cleanly. Two flavors imported (scan-filter-5ghz and scan-filter-5ghz-danctnix) matching the convention of other bes2600 series — the code path doesn't touch timer APIs so the two are byte-identical for now; flavor separation is kept to preserve consistency in ohm.yaml. The arm64 scs-arm-neon-build-fix series is a build-environment workaround: GCC 15.2.1 strictly validates that -fsanitize=shadow- call-stack requires -ffixed-x18, and arm_neon.h's #pragma target/ push/pop blocks lose x18 fixing inside the wrapped section. The Makefile tweak re-adds -ffixed-x18 explicitly for xor-neon.o. It's a no-op when SCS is off (current pkgrel=2 ohm config) and unblocks SCS=y once GCC upstream is fixed. ohm.yaml gains a CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK=n config override with a pointer to besser#20 (the re-enable tracking issue) so future manifest-driven kconfig generation honors the workaround without silently dropping it.

patches/driver/bes2600/
BES2600 WiFi driver patches (drivers/staging/bes2600/*, mainline-bound).
Mirrored from marfrit/besser/patches/ on 2026-05-16.
Scope tag: driver:bes2600 (see fleet/ohm.yaml for the consumer).
Consumer: ohm (PineTab2, RK3566 + BES2600 SDIO).
Series taxonomy
30 series (15 base + 15 -danctnix siblings). The -danctnix
variants exist because vanilla series don't apply on the DanctNIX
kernel base (slightly different in-tree state for drivers/staging/bes2600/*).
Keep both as separate series until BES2600 lands upstream, then
collapse — issue #2 acceptance criterion.
Each series directory contains numbered .patch files plus
optionally a 0000-cover-letter.patch for multi-patch series.
Promotion eligibility (per series)
Marked here for the kernel-agent CLI (ka-promote) to pick up.
Markus to update as series mature. Default UNSET means "ask before
including in a build".

DKMS-to-in-tree transition path
bes2600-dkms (Mobian fork, in marfrit/bes2600-dkms) is the
out-of-tree shim that ohm currently uses for the BES2600 wifi+BT.
Once these driver/bes2600/ series land in mainline (or at least in
DanctNIX's PineTab2 kernel base):
- ohm's manifest drops the
bes2600-dkmspackage dependency kernel-agentbuilds the in-tree variant via the series listed heremarfrit/bes2600-dkmsrepo gets archived (kept as history)- PineTab2 buyers from then on get bes2600 directly out of the kernel
Track the dropdown in fleet/ohm.yaml (replaces_dkms: bes2600-dkms
once the cumulative series is enough to replace it).
Cumulative-patch generation order
The current single-patch cumulative (0001-bes2600-besser-cumulative-series.patch
in the existing PKGBUILD) is generated in this order on boltzmann:
A, B, C v3, F, G, D, E, C2, c5.x, c6.x, c7, H
This is NOT alphabetical — C2 follows E rather than coming after
C v3. ka-promote MUST honor an explicit series-ordering field
when concatenating, not sort by series name. Field name TBD; suggest
adding apply_order: to fleet/ohm.yaml (issue #5 will surface this
when the cumulative gets regenerated).
