Hi there,
Ran into a wall after trying to use openwrt on a raspi 3 v1.2.
root@OpenWrt:~# iw dev
phy#0
Interface wlan0
ifindex 3
wdev 0x1
addr b8:27:eb:19:d7:b8
type managed
channel 1 (2412 MHz), width: 20 MHz, center1: 2412 MHz
txpower 31.00 dBm
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option path 'platform/soc/3f300000.mmcnr/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:0001/mmc1:0001:1'
option band '2g'
option channel '1'
option htmode 'HT20'
config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
option device 'radio0'
option network 'lan'
option mode 'ap'
option ssid 'OpenWrt'
option encryption 'none'
option disabled '1'
interface not shown in ifconfig.
if I start default_radio0 I can see the network in my linux mashine.
Can someone help me please.
Dont know what I am doing wrong.
TY
The wifi radio should normally attach to br-lan and the lan network interface, so I'm not sure if you'd expect to see it in ifconfig as a separate entity (I'd have to check).
This sounds like it's working....
So, given that your linux machine can see the network, what is the actual problem you're encountering?
I want to connect to my home wifi, but when I press scan on the Cypress CYW43455 802.11b/g/n in the webUI none of the networks show up
trying to build a travel router for my dad in hospital btw
...openwrt 25.12.0 btw
The Pi is not a good option for this. Among the many reasons for this, you will need a second wifi device (i.e. a USB wifi adapter) in order to use this as both a STA (client) mode and AP mode simultaneously. That's because the Pi's wifi chipsets only allow one or the other.
There are purpose built travel routers that are much better suited for the application.
But I have wifi sticks and a pi 
found this in dmesg btw

already have usb sticks, will probably by a travel router then.
just sad to see that the pi3 image is not working for my pi ootb.
If you'd know which extra modules they require, you could easily add them to a custom image.
Brcmfmac is the bult in radio.
Get a Cudy TR3000 (IMHO).

I have two usb wifi sticks here, both with RTL8188EUS chipset
