Topic: Wireless stopped working in trunk on WNDR3700v2

Hi all,

Just built the latest trunk, and found that wireless no longer works. I've been running my own builds for the last 6 months without problems. My last build (+/- 1 month ago) was working fine with the same config.

From the point of view of the router everything seems fine (as far as I can tell), but clients cannot see it.

Does anybody have the same experience?

Contents of my /etc/config/wireless for radio0 (I'm not using radio1):

config 'wifi-device' 'radio0'
        option 'type' 'mac80211'
        option 'country' 'BE'
        option 'macaddr' 'e0:91:f5:cc:d6:c7'
        list 'ht_capab' 'SHORT-GI-40'
        list 'ht_capab' 'TX-STBC'
        list 'ht_capab' 'RX-STBC1'
        list 'ht_capab' 'DSSS_CCK-40'
        option 'txpower' '20'
        option 'channel' '13'
        option 'disabled' '0'
        option 'hwmode' '11ng'
        option 'htmode' 'HT40-'

config 'wifi-iface'
        option 'device' 'radio0'
        option 'ssid' 'bubastis'
        option 'encryption' 'psk2'
        option 'key' 'xxxx'
        option 'network' 'lan'
        option 'mode' 'ap'

Thanks in advance

It might be related to the botched startup order of several modules, including the crda, the country-specific radio config.

You might try to edit /etc/init.d/boot manually and see if that helps.

The problem seems to have been resolved with a recent commit.

The discussion might have continued from here.
