    Thank you so much for your reply and help. Does this module work with OpenWRT21.02 or only for 22 please?

    @IBH I believe @crispyoz is saying if you select the Omega2+ target profile, it will automatically select the open-source mt76 wifi driver

    @Lazar-Demin the Omega2+ target profile is selected , it doesn't select the open-source mt76 wifi driver. I cannot see any wifi driver which has been selected. Do you know the exact name of the wifi driver please?

    @IBH it should be called mt76 or kmod-mt76
    You can find the package makefile here: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/openwrt-21.02/package/kernel/mt76/Makefile

    @IBH By following my initial instructions the build will include kmod-mt76-core as you can see from the extract of the .config file here:

    CONFIG_TARGET_ramips_mt76x8=y
CONFIG_TARGET_ramips_mt76x8_DEVICE_onion_omega2p=y
CONFIG_TARGET_SUBTARGET="mt76x8"

    @IBH Vanilla OpenWRT isn't configured for easy networking right out of the box, you'll have to make network, firewall, and wireless configuration changes.

    Take a look at our UCI-defaults network configuration script for an idea of what we do:
    For an idea of how we configure the beta OpenWRT 22.03 firmware, take a look at UCI-defaults network configuration script:https://github.com/OnionIoT/OpenWRT-Packages/blob/openwrt-22.03/omega2-base/files/etc/uci-defaults/15_network

    Alternatively, you can use our beta OpenWRT 22.03 firmware. It supports wifi networking right out of the box. More info in this thread: https://community.onion.io/topic/4963/beta-openwrt-22-03-firmware-available-your-feedback-is-needed

    EDIT: specified UCI defaults are for OpenWRT 22.03

    @Lazar-Demin Hi Lazar, I'm using the OpenWRT 21.02 release and not the onion openwrt. I did the configuration shared by @crispyoz in the forum :

    https://community.onion.io/topic/4940/original-image-openwrt-22-03-3-ramips/2?_=1680610145788

    And I got an issue related to the interface radio0 doesn't exist. Maybe I missed something and for this reason I would like to check with you both.

    @IBH Ah my mistake, I didn't specify the uci defaults configuration is for our new beta firmware that's based on OpenWRT 22.03. This should apply to your situation since this firmware also uses the mt76 wifi driver.

    @IBH Your configuration is using my dummy wifi ssid and key so that isn't going to work on your wifi. You need to update the configuration to utilise your wifi.

                "ssid": "MYSSID",
                                        "encryption": "psk2",
                                        "key": "*********************************",

    To search for available wifi, use this command iw dev apcli0 scan | grep -i ssid

    To update the ssid and key you can either edit the file /etc/config/wireless or use these commands:

    uci set wireless.sta.ssid='<ENTER YOUR SSID HERE>'
    uci set wireless.sta.key='<ENTER YOUR WIFI PASSWORD HERE>'
    uci commit wireless
    service network restart

    I got this:
    root@OpenWrt:/# iw dev apcli0 scan | grep -i ssid
    command failed: No such device (-19)
    Do I miss something?
    I do not need it to connect to a network. I need it to provide one.
    When I did wifi up the radio0 doesn't be up and I cannot see the ssid on my phone.

    @IBH Strange, everything looks correct to me, but iw status does not show the SSID. After you made changes to the wireless file, try rebootig and wait for a minute before running wifi status. Also try making these changes:

    uci set wireless.radio0.channel='auto'
    uci set wireless.sta.disabled='1'
    uci commit wireless

    Then reboot.
