Daemon.notice netifd: radio1 (2219): WARNING: Variable 'data' does not exist or is not an array/object

Hi,

I can see an netifd error in my log but do not know which parameter is causing it. Does somebody know how to find out what is causing this instead of "try and error"?

Device Wax206

Cheers,
Nils

Setup a complete new Wax206 and can see that it happens also for R7800 and NBG6817.

So created an issue: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/14010

If somebody knows how to debug it to support the investigation it would be nice.

I have the same happening on an Archer AX23v1 since building a new image last month. I'll be building a new one tomorrow, sysupgrade a device and see, whether it persists.

Revision from ubus call system board is r24164-67ce60c5f9, image was built on Thu Oct 19 22:36:32 2023.

This has not been happening with the image built before, sysupgrade was performed from the one below to the one above.

This happened when the wifi name and password were changed and the wifi restarted subsequently, as well as before, when the network was restarted.
