Hi, in order to explore and get to more familliar with the process of building custom OpenWRT images, I wanted to try to enable WiFi on the GL.iNet MV1000W (aka Brume-W) in the same way as it was provided with OpenWRT 19.07.x by GL.iNet.
The MV1000W has a Realtek rtl8192eu chip. I was able to modify the kernel package from this repo https://github.com/gl-inet/openwrt/tree/openwrt-19.07.7/package/kernel/rtl8192eu and was able to build and install it properly in Openwrt 25.05.5.
However, when installed, radio0 (802.11n, phy0) is installed, but I`m not able to have/create a separate radio1 (802.11g, phy1). I want this, as I need a similar situation as provided by GL.iNet with their outdated firmware, to be able to use one radio in Access Point mode, and one radio in Client mode.
iw list also shows only phy0.
I know that for the snapshot release rtl8xxxu kernel package is also working fine with the rtl8192eu in both AP and client mode nowadays, but their I`m facing the same thing. Only a single radio for 802.11n.
Maybe 802.11g and 802.11n is "bundled" by default as "legacy" nowadays? Maybe 802.11g isn't even supported anymore? Also I was reading something in the hostapd area, maybe I need to use that package?
I hope someone can help me to understand this or to push me in the right direction.
Thanks!
