Hail mighty OpenWRT gurus and warriors!

I have NETGEAR WNDR3700 v2 glossy router.
I used dd-wrt for a long time since I bought the router.
I have tired from bugs in dd-wrt and decided to install OpenWRT.
I have installed it. First was simple default version of the OpenWRT.
Since I had no experience in linux systems it took some time for first configuration of the pppoe internet connection and then installing LuCI for easier configuration. I installed some packages, configured port forwards, set up DDNS, it was great and simple (when know linux basic tricks).
OpenWRT is a great piece of software!

BUT.
There is no wireless.
Yes, I have read (and done what they advise) almost all documentation and wiki around the net.
I have tried various various OpenWRT builds (this cool 'Fully featured' too, and now I have stopped at the Gargoyle router management utility).
I have tried to remove and install various packages and drivers and tools.
And the result in ALL of these OpenWRT based firwares: there is no wireless at all.

(1) /etc/config/wireless is always absent or empty. And always empty if it is regenerated by /sbin/wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless.
(2) There is no tab Network->WiFi in LuCI in any cases.
(3) When I enable wireless in the Gargoyle web interface and click 'save changes' button then it shows me 'Please Wait While Settings Are Applied' forever.
(4) 'iw list', 'iw dev', etc. show nothing.
(5) ls /sys/class/ieee80211 is empty.

I need some of the advice.

First installation of the OpenWRT on the dd-wrt was done by this command:

mtd -r write openwrt-ar71xx-generic-<router-name>-squashfs-factory.bin linux

Provide the complete output of "dmesg" here. It sounds like the radio callibration data got corrupted, this would prevent ath9k from working.

No sign of ath or ath9k in the dmesg. Is the driver even loaded? Run 

grep ath /proc/modules

On my WNDR3700 it results in

Have verified that hostapd is installed(or equivalant)? when I have rolled my own it doesn't seem to be installed in the firmware even though it is check to be built into it.

and after reading of this:

mtd4 for the ART (Atheros Radio Test) - it contains mac addresses and calibration data for the wifi (EEPROM). If it is missing or corrupt, ath9k (wireless driver) won't come up anymore.

on http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/flash.layout

I think that I have killed my wireless, and will not come up anymore. So now I have cool wired router smile. Any chance to repair somehow?

Thank you!
I have installed dd-wrt again to get write access to the mtd6 (didn't want bother about patching openwrt kernel source to gain write access to that mtd).
Then write art.bin (which you have provided me, thank you again) with my MACs to the mtd (wifi returned in dd-wrt immediately).
Then tftp OpenWRT (fat full featured build).

AND ALL WORKING GOOD NOW!

But, how it has happened?
Was I wrong when run on dd-wrt this: 

mtd -r write <imagename>.img linux

? Could it kill calibration data on the art mtd?

Happened to me too. Guess I have to flash ddwrt back. Thanks for the backups and no write-proctection firmware.

The discussion might have continued from here.
