Topic: Wireless doesn't work - EA4500

Hello
I've just installed openwrt on my linksys N900 (EA4500). Finally luci works just fine. But my next problem is wifi not working. In luci i have a message - "Wireless is disabled or not associated".

Is there anything I can do? Some drivers are missing? When i scan for other wireless networks it finds them normally.

Please, give me some hints.

I had the same issue and had to ssh in then do:
wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless

I could then configure the wireless via luci (might have needed to reboot, cant remember)

in mine I had to also install hostapd.
