Hi guys,
I have pc with a AR928X Wireless Network Adapter installed on a pci card.
I installed Openwrt x86 an with ath9k-htc-firmware.
Radio 0 shows:
Generic MAC80211 802.11abgn
Channel: 1 (2.412 GHz) | Bitrate: ? Mbit/s
And wireless is disabled (can't get it online):
SSID: OpenWrt | Mode: Master

I have read this treat.....still not be able to get it working:
Hi,
I have successfully deployed x86 LEDE distro of on Partaker B5 Fanless mini PC (this one: https://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01.4/targets/x86/64/ ) . Unfortunately, supplied WiFi card (Intel WiFi Link 5100) is not detected by x86 LEDE.
I wonder if there is LEDE-compatible n-card with two antennas which I can purchase and use instead?
Thank you.
Does your WiFi card support AP mode? Many (mostly Intel) card do not support AP mode, they only work as "client" cards. I used Atheros AR5BXB92 in my x86. While not working in .ac, it is rock stable as 802.11n adapter.

I use this adapter:
Atheros ar5bxb92 (HP: 482260-002) Wifi mini PCI card 802.11a/g/n
I Guess that it is the same adapter you use...or are there differents between ar5bxb92 adapters?

-Can you try the standard ath9k instead?
I believe I did?!?
-Did you actually enable the SSID in the config?
Yes I did , but I did not get active..
What other packages did you install?

Strange, the driver is loading fine. Might be that it's set up to run out of spec and hostapd is failing to set it up. If that's a laptop it could be some kind of rfkill switch. Post logread
output.

I see that a state of "AP-ENABLED" is reached, along with "wlan0 link is up", which means there should be wifi.
What is the reason for attaching the wifi AP to the wan network? Conventionally it would be in lan (br-lan) not wan.
ath9k-htc is needed only for USB cards. Though there are some cards that have a USB chip in a PCIe form factor it doesn't look like yours is one of them.
You forget install wpad(-mini) package.
I have ar9285 mpcie card on x86 board, I just need to install kmod-ath9k wpad and it automatically install the related packages. Works as expected.

I get this error:
Executing package manager
Installing wpad-mini (2019-08-08-ca8c2bd2-2) to root...
Errors
Collected errors: * check_conflicts_for: The following packages conflict with wpad-mini: * check_conflicts_for: hostapd * * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package wpad-mini.

.
I removed the hostapd package and installed wpad. The a reboot incl reconfiguere of the WiFi config.
Still no signal....

It is attached to WAN, because I was trying some things out, in the hope it fix the problem.
Everything seems fine working , but there is no signal. (I see no SSID)
