I have tryed to run wifi detect on Alix board ( x86 geode ) and on WDR4300 devices ( ar71xx tl-wdr4300 ).
On both devices, wifi detect does not work, either if there is or there is not /etc/config/wireless file.

Both devices were running last snapshot ( 2017/01/27 ).
I have tryed with earlier versions ( R1518 ) and it does work.

Attached you will found the little bash script that I used to test the bug easily, and a results file.

You can reproduce it running "wifi detect", before and after deleting/renaming /etc/config/wireless.

( For running the script, you need to install luci-base and libiwinfo-lua, or uncomment the lines that run the lua script ).

"wifi detect" is a no-op since 5f8f8a3 - use "wifi config" instead.

given the amount of documentation that says to use wifi detect, can it be made to still work by internally calling wifi config?

Actually, calling the tool still shows the option:

root@LEDE:/# wifi --help
Usage: /sbin/wifi [down|detect|reload|status]
enables (default), disables or detects a wifi configuration.

wifi config for me produces 0 output and just returns back to shell

It is normal that wifi config produces no output. It modifies /etc/config/wireless and creates it if needed.
