Hello, I am familiar with older openwrt versions. Everything used to work on that same hardware, but I have just installed 18.06.1 and I don't get how wireless works.
I have installed it on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1, kernel version is 4.9.120. I have tried to plug various USB wifi antennas, all are recognized, dmesg shows them, I can't remember the firmware right now but I have them because they are supported and have always worked.
I can't see the wireless menu in luci, and I have no /etc/config/wireless and iw list does not report anything.
Is it something I missed with 18.06.1 or is there an actual issue? Can I do something to try to understand what's wrong? I have seen similar messages but failed to find a solution.
I had installed ath9k-htc-firmware from System -> Software. But apparently that was not the right thing to do. It went a lot better after doing opkg install kmod-ath9k-htc kmod-ath9k-common
Now I can see the device.
