Xiaomi R3P no wifi on boot?

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi everyone,
Today I've installed Openwrt on my Xiaomi Router, however I'm struggling to automatically bring up on boot the wifi.

I've correctly installed Luci, checked the wireless drivers, setup a working encrypted WiFi and switched to '0' the /etc/config/network disable options for all the interaces.

I can correctly start the WiFi using the ssh "WiFi" command, however for reasons that I don't quite understand, the WiFi doesn't come alive automatically after boot.

Any idea of what I'm missing?
Thanks a lot!

I honestly have no idea of what that truly means but I'll assume it is something related to the WLAN driver not working correctly.

Thanks a lot for the support, I'll probably revert to stock.

I mean because of the async probing, WiFi driver is not yet loaded while OpenWrt is trying to enable WiFi at boot.

Possible solution:
edit /etc/modules.d/mt7615e, remove the async_probe
