+There is no fine control tu run the init in openwrt before kernel asks for drivers, so luckily modem gets activated, but not wifi:

 These are my attempts at building the os... my end goal is to build a working modern openwrt, but first I will start from immortalwrt from lkiuyu and the from official immortalwrt.

- Using `msm-firmware-loader`:

- Revert back to bundling the firmwares...

-#### TODO:
- Modem does not register...
+- Modem Working
+  - No Rx/Tx displayed in luci interface (?)
+- Wifi Working
+- USB gadget working (NCM, RNDIS, MASS, ACM tested!)
+---
+### TODO:
 - ~~Use `msm-firmware-loader` instead of bundling firmware.~~
-  - There is no easy way to load the partitions before kernel looks for them... so dumps instead of ln `msm-firmware-dumper` and then restart...
- msm8916-usb-gadget: attach console to tty?
- _**ucify**_ the uz801-tweaks... see `usb0` network setup!
+  - There is no easy way to load the partitions before kernel looks for them...
 - Recover GHA build pipeline
 - Use built dtb from openstick-builder?
-
+  - use linux's dts?
+- modemmanager not showing rxtx

 ### Stuff
 - The `msm8916-yiming-uz801v3.dtb` file is a prebuilt dtb extracted from one of the many OpenStick-Builder project living in Github.
