Pirelli DRG A226M, install wireless card driver problem. HELP!

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

https://openwrt.org/toh/pirelli/drg_a226m
i installed the driver using this command opkg install kmod-rt61-pci, and it was successfully installed.
But still, the LUCI interface doesn't have the "wireless" section.

I think that i should edit the /etc/config/wireless file, but don't now how to do it.
anyone knows how to do it?

2

Did you reboot the system after installing the module?
Then delete the /etc/config/wireless file, if it exists, and recreate it with wifi config

3

Executed wifi config, but the new created wireless file is empty.

4

Is the module loaded? Check with lsmod

It's loaded, what about iw list ?

7

Nothing happens

8

Ok, I replugged the wifi and executed wifi config.now it works. Thank you!

9

I suppose you did not reboot the router earlier.

10

I rebooted may times...
anyway, now i have another problem that there is no switch function. I edited the /etc/config/network as the webpage suggested, but got an error message.

Them maybe the dongle was not properly inserted in the usb port and re plugging it fixed that.

Better mark this thread as solved and open a new one for the other problem.
