Wireless configuration setup not working

[orchestra]

First of all, thank you @lleachii for checking it out.
OpenWrt community is incredibly supportive, and I’m really glad to be part of it.

Let me tell you what I have done :

1. I am using an RK3588-based custom board and on which I have build openWRT image/firmware for it with uboot and kernel compatible with my board.

• Ethernet - Realtek RTL8211F
• WiFi - Realtek RTL8852BS

2. /etc/os-release conents :

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/os-release

4. This is my default configuration when I run wifi config

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/wireless

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option path 'platform/fe2d0000.mmc/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:0001/mmc2:0001:1'
        option band '5g'
        option channel '36'
        option htmode 'HE80'
        option disabled '1'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
        option device 'radio0'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'OpenWrt'
        option encryption 'none'

5. In Luci, I can see -

   

   And when I click on the scan button, it works completely.

   

6. So, there are my questions -

• What does it mean if radio0 device saysDevice is not active?
• Does it require to edit/configure for as wifi module changed as in my case for RTL8852BS ?

7. When I dive into deep,

• First, I have tried to connect to any available WiFi manually using wpa_supplicant and wlan0 to show IP of connected wifi devices.
• Which works completly fine as I got IP on wlan0 interface and also able to ping google.com.
• So, after doing this I got to know that something is missing in luci/openwrt configuration.

8. Issue :
   1. When I click on join network, it gets me the configuration menu, and I enter the password of wifi. Then network-related utilities get stuck, like ip a, iw etc.
   2. Main concern is that I am not able to get wlan0 interface in luci with properly working.
      As I have edited disabled 1 to 0, Functionality related to Network interface getting started stuck.
      Not able to work in that console, ip a command
   3. I realized that iw dev wlan0 link shows required information like signal, bitrate, but at the same time iwinfo does not show it, which leads to not being able to show info in luci.
