January 2025 monthly work summary focusing on reliability, performance, and out-of-the-box usability across ImmortalWRT and related OpenWrt packages. Delivered: AR9344 Ethernet switch reset reliability improvements; mesh per-interface basic rate control; Teltonika RUTX50 boot-time readiness enhancements; Poemgr dependency alignment with upstream HEAD. These changes improve device stability in the field, enable finer network tuning, simplify first-use experience, and streamline packaging workflows.

December 2024 delivered stability and reliability improvements to the wireless stack in coolsnowwolf/immortalwrt, focusing on hostapd handling, mesh setup robustness, and mac80211 basic-rate configuration. The work reduces runtime errors, improves mesh reliability in PPSK environments, and hardens the system against missing dependencies.

In 2024-11, contributions to coolsnowwolf/immortalwrt focused on maintainability, build reliability, and hardware metadata accuracy. Key deliverables include a Broadcom PHY driver build condition fix that enables the driver to be built as a built-in module even when PTP is a module, addressing Gigabit operation issues; an accuracy improvement to the Cudy AP3000 Outdoor device label by using the Wi-Fi MAC address; and a code style cleanup in fritz_cal_extract.c to standardize indentation for readability without changing functionality. These changes reduce field issues, stabilize builds, and improve hardware labeling accuracy, delivering tangible business value and long-term maintainability.
