sampsonf:

This is for the ath79 generic target

IronicSven:

It seems to me that you have kept "keep settings" checked when you switched from ar71xx to ath79.
The unusable radio device should disappear if you reset the device to the defaults or delete the radio with uci.

sampsonf:

I am upgrading ath79 target night built to 19.03.

Which night built do not have this issue.

adrianschmutzler:

Sounds like an upgrade issues indeed. BTW, there is no 19.03, only 19.07?

Hi, same problem on Xiaomi Mi3g (v1)

MediaTek MT7603E 802.11bgn
Openwrt 19.07

You need to reset and recreate your wireless configuration. Via SSH, run rm /etc/config/wireless and reboot.

FRM-CCA:

You close the ticket, but after reset wifi same problem on xiaomi 3g...
wait before closing

I experienced this issue on a fresh installation of OpenWrt 19.07.2, r10947-65030d81f3.

You need to reset and recreate your wireless configuration. Via SSH, run rm /etc/config/wireless and reboot.

This didn't work for me. Instead, I deleted all the settings via uci in an SSH session:

uci delete wireless.radio0
uci delete wireless.radio1
uci delete wireless.default_radio0
uci delete wireless.default_radio1
uci commit
reboot

Ater that, I set up the Wireless interfaces via Luci and radio0 worked fine.

Lexus:

Hi Stefan,
How exactly did you do that ?
Have also deleted everything. Only now I have over luci under Network no wireless.
How can I set this up again ?
