Hi,
I've installed OpenWRT recently on Pirelli AR422G router. It has a Wifi PCI card inserted and it works. The only thing I couldn't do is to set it in a repeater mode, that was my goal. I followed a few guides but whenever I set it up, one interface can't connect to the AP and other also does not show the Wifi SSID. So I gave up, and decided to use the inbuilt USB to plug an additional USB Wifi adapter I had laying around.
The adapter is TP-Link WN422G. I've installed the appropriate kernel modules via opkg and it seems like the USB Wifi adapter is detected.
When I try to run wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless I always only get the default radio0 which is the PCI wifi card, usb adapter does not show .
When I run lsusb, I can clearly see the name of the adapter, also I've looked at dmesg and It seems the USB wifi adapter is detected.
I don't have an idea how to configure it, so I would appreciate some help!
dmesg:
