Hello!
I use Mikrotik HAP AC3. Installed the last build:
OpenWrt 23.05.5 r24106-10cc5fcd00 / LuCI openwrt-23.05 branch git-24.264.56413-c7a3562
After installation there is no 'Network / Wireless' in LuCi's menu.
I've tried everything:
I still have no decision. Anyone knows what to do?
Sysupgrade with config reset, 2 radio devices should be detected properly
https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=23.05.5&target=ipq40xx%2Fmikrotik&id=mikrotik_hap-ac3
Done ('keep current configuration' unchecked). No result.
I can tell that I did it earlier unsuccessfully.
Reset settings don't help me too.

You must install pciutils to identify wifi chips.
Also check
dmesg | grep \ ath
It's ok, but not fully.

It's the second device. The first one has the same problem.
It is missing
ath10k-board-qca4019
followed by reboot
Something is missed, it's not the right execute string:
ath10k-board-qca4019
Complete:
dpkg install ath10k-board-qca4019
Reboot.

Does the file exist in directory relative to /lib/firmware
If not download (binary, not text) or clone git repo, and upload file in place, relative to /lib/firmware
Original linux board bin is here:
It is not pci bus but ahb, you can remove pciutils...
I red the dmesg again, points to device description missing in board file.
https://wireless.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/en/users/drivers/ath10k/boardfiles.html
Try 24.10.0-rcLATEST via fw selector, failing with that report the bug to openwrt tracker, or submit to kernel mail list.
I've just installed it:
OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc6 r28388-58d0057481 / LuCI openwrt-24.10 branch 25.014.55016~7046a1c
So, wifi work fine.
The next step is only to made a bug report?
With regard that 23.05.5 does not contain board data for your device. Or wait a month or two for 24.10.0 release and forget about it.
Thank you, I will write on github.
