hello , I recently installed openwrt on my laptop , everything works fine but I was unable to setup the access point

I did "wifi detect" here is the output :

root@OpenWrt:~# wifi detect
config wifi-device  radio0
    option type     mac80211
    option channel  11
    option hwmode    11g
    option path    'pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:03:00.0'
    option htmode    HT20
    # REMOVE THIS LINE TO ENABLE WIFI:
    option disabled 1

config wifi-iface
    option device   radio0
    option network  lan
    option mode     ap
    option ssid     OpenWrt
    option encryption none

i copy it on the file /etc/config/wireless
i could scan and see networks  but couldn't setup the access point . my pcie wifi card is Atheros AR9285
also i ll be glad if someone tells me the best pcie wifi card the works right away with openwrt .i mean fully comptible

thanks

You have to set disabled to 0 or remove the line entirely.

Ath9k cards such as yours should have good compatibility.  Running iw list should produce a list of your card and driver's capabilities.

thanks for your quick reply . I did it already i removed the line of course , still  the same issue
here is the kernel log :

That bootup looks normal.  Do you have an AP device created?

root@OpenWrt:~#iw dev
phy#0
    Interface wlan0
        ifindex 16
        wdev 0x4
        addr 1e:d6:c7:XX:XX:XX
        ssid Box Office
        type AP
        channel 1 (2412 MHz), width: 20 MHz, center1: 2412 MHz
        txpower 18.00 dBm

You should also see the AP device being activated in br-lan:

[   29.584764] br-lan: port 2(wlan0) entered forwarding state

No i dont have AP device created ,  i did 'iw dev' nothing happened .

how can  I create it  and do i have to put it in /etc/config/wireless or

in a separate file , thanks

thank you so much , after reading about the wireless card and the modes . I just realised  that i have to turn it on

all i did is: " ifconfig wlan0 up " the access point start working .
