Hi, I flashed my wgt634u with kamikaze 7.09. It identifies all the hardware. It picks up atheros as wifi0. I was trying to setup my wireless by opening /etc/config/wireless, however it keeps saying permission denied. What should I do?

Please show the output of "mount". It might be that your JFFS wasn't activated. Also check dmesg for suspicious entries.
Here is the output of mount.

This seems fine. What exactly are you using to open the file ? Can you delete the file and recreate it ? Maybe try something like this:
root@atheros:~# cat > /etc/config/wireless << EOF
config wifi-device wifi0
option type atheros
<whatever...>
EOFAlright I tried using ur suggestion and deleting the wireless config file. When I tried recreating it and saving it, it gave me an error
cat: /etc/config/wireless: No such file or directory
Also I tried using vi to open the wireless config file, however it won't let me edit the file.
rm /etc/config/wireless
wifi detect > /etc/config/wirelessTry this. Should create a standard wireless configuration file if it detects your WiFi corretly.

Alright so I got to edit the wireless config file, so its like this
config wifi-device wifi0
option type atheros
option channel 5# REMOVE THIS LINE TO ENABLE WIFI:
config wifi-iface
option device wifi0
option network lan
option mode ap
option ssid OpenWrt
option encryption none
However, this is what I get on my dmseg. Somehow the wireless card isn't functional.
