HI,
I'm trying to setup a mini x86 as a WAP using OpenWRT. I was able to install it fine and have full access via LuCI as well as ssh. I updated the system with the kmod-ath9k module (which also added several other modules) and restarted. However, the wireless interface is still not up (no /etc/config/wireless and iw list output is empty).
I checked dmesg to ensure the device was being discovered. I also loaded pci-utils and did an lspci, which shows:

04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 0c)which shows the AR9565 was found and I verified that it is a supported chip in ath9k (according to wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath9k]
The only thing I find in the kernel log related to wireless is the following:
