source code of wl command in Asus github

[vlsireddy]

Hi,


I see a github codebase for wlu.c file which handles wl command functionality in Asus routers

asus-rt-n66u-merlin/wlu.c at master · shantanugoel/asus-rt-n66u-merlin (github.com)

the above link is for Old router, however i could not find any new code for wl at github

asuswrt-merlin.ng/release at 6b60627c8c9c5c0271e956c914afb5277f81f9c4 · RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng (github.com)

i see ONLY wl binaries at above link.

questions

1. can anyone plz point to latest codebase for Asus Merlin based ROG routers [specifically wl command related code]
2. need link for latest WL commands documentation.

plz point.


Thanks

There is no available source code for the wireless driver (if that's what you're asking), it's not open source. Broadcom supply it to Asus as a binary blob.

Use wl ver to find the version for your device. You might be able to find more information. You can try to find your devices branch and look at the git.

Broadcom drivers aren’t open source though.

Mine might not be the latest version as their are different SDKs using different kernels and drivers. Also I’m on alpha 388. Mines a ROG AX router and the AXE and PRO I believe use a newer code base for HND.

Look at the git branches for your Merlin version mine specifically would be under.

master is the latest overall except for special test alpha versions which might be newer.

Your router is no longer supported so you’d look for version 380.70 as that’s the latest. But it looks like Git no longer publicly shows that old of that specific version. So what you found might be the latest.

No longer supported:
RT-N66U	380.70

wl -h will give you available commands.

ddwrt has some documentation on the wl commands but it might not be “latest”

The wl source code is proprietary and confidential, and will not be present in my repo. As you can see in that very old repo, the header of the file does mention that it is confidential, and it was unintentionally leaked by Asus back then.

Same with the documentation, it`s only available under NDA to licence owners.

This is an older doc, so it doesn't reflect some of the recent chipsets, but still handy to have around.

That has a "Broadcom confidential" watermark plastered on it. Are you sure you want to share that?

Now that I know that … yes

Good question - it was sourced from a public resource hosted by Infineon, if Broadcom has issues with it, they would have to send a take down request to them
