I recently purchased a SeeedStudio Odyssey SBC to run OpenWRT on. I was able to install the software without issue and use it hardwired, but I cannot get the wifi to work. I'm sure it's simply user error so I'm looking for some help.
I've read through some of the documentation but everything I type into shell doesn't work. I think installed the correct wireless drivers through LuCI.
Run iw list to see if you have a working wifi driver. It should return a bunch of info about driver capabilities. If it exits with no output there is no driver active. In that case you'd look at the bootlog for wifi related errors.
They don't say which wifi chip is used. Their documentation does mention that a BIOS setting can turn off the chip, so make sure it is turned on.
Once iw list shows that a driver is active and the chip has been found, remove any /etc/config/wireless file and reboot. This should generate a new /etc/config/wireless and make Network-->Wireless appear in LuCI.
x86 release builds don't include anything wifi related, so you will need to install the whole 802.11 stack: kmod-cfg80211, wireless-regdb, wpad, iwinfo, iw.
That would suggest kmod-iwlwifi and ibt-firmware, I think. That said, don't expect AP mode to be usable on any intel wireless hardware (if you're lucky it might work on 2.4 GHz for channels 1-11, but 5 GHz is never going to work).
