So I installed openwrt for the first time a few days ago on version 25.12.0 on a flash drive for the x86-64 architecture for uefi and for some reason iw dev outputs nothing the package is installed I manually installed the drivers for my pci network card and dependencies atleast those that caused errors as apk wasn't working that might be the problem and It still won't work and when I say nothing I dont mean an error I mean nothing I have been debugging with chatgpt for a few days and it hasn't been very usefull. I have a rt3290 network card which I want to get working the driver is loaded atleast lsmod | grep rt outputs and I ran wifi config the wifi isn't disabled in the config file and wifi works on a linux mint installation on the same machine
Out of the 8 lines of text you wrote, this seems to be the only relevant part ?
what "the package" ?
that's like asking your local garbage man to fix your space rocket.
post lspci output, use the </> button on top of the message window when you paste the text.
The package for iw dev, the package for lspci isn't installed if it is necessary state its name
did you install any wifi drivers ?
pciutils.
Since it is first time - use squashfs image and add packages in "customize packages" box that appears when you click on the small triangle
Yes I did manuallly as apk refused to work
how and what are two different things.
apk not working would be because of your network config.

this is the one you're trying to get running, right ?
run the command again, but add -nk (lspci -nk) post the Subsystem line for the RT3290.

Yeah I am trying to use that one
Driver is installed, you need wpad-mbedtls and iwinfo to make use of it.
Tysm both of you it works now
Last thing I can see the network on my phone but I type the password and the connect button is blanked out
post your /etc/config/wireless file, use the </> button again.
config wifi-device 'radio0'

option path 'pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1^0000:02:00.0"

I am in egypt
yes, we can see it.
are you sure the password is long enough ? openwrt required at least 8 chars 24.10.
Tysm it works now
Dont type configs by hand, use luci web interface.
Highly recommended to use auto channel in 2.4ghz esp in urban setting.
