Description
The firmware generated with default packages set can't install new packages because of wget SSL error:
# opkg update
Downloading https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.0-rc3/targets/ramips/mt76x8/packages/Packages.gz
*** Failed to download the package list from https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.0-rc3/targets/ramips/mt76x8/packages/Packages.gz
...
Collected errors:
* opkg_download: Failed to download https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.0-rc3/targets/ramips/mt76x8/packages/Packages.gz, wget returned 5.
man wget:
EXIT STATUS
5 SSL verification failure.
I don't know what package is missing, but can we include it in the default set so the firmware generated would be capable to extend itself?
