Interesting WiFi configs posted

The past few days I've seen a couple of WiFi configs posted (here and on reddit) from /etc/config/wireless that seem to have radio0 configured as 2.4 Ghz, and radio1 as 5 Ghz.

I've always thought the default was the other way around...and I think it has been on LEDE/OpenWRT since I started using version 17.

I understand someone could physically edit the wireless files and change the radio references, but that seems like a lot of work for no gain, AFAICT.

Thoughts?

You cannot swap them at will. It all comes down to the device you're working with. Which radio sits first on the PCI-e bus etc. The wireless config will have the radio type set either way, if you want to be completely sure what's what you can take a look at the DTS. There the radios are defined with their supported frequency ranges.
