Setting up Wifi on LEDE build on Omega 2+
-
Hey,
Been a few months since I played with my Omega and maybe I have forgotten something. I flashed the latest LEDE image ( 17.01.4) to the 2+ and it broadcasts fine on radio0 but I cannot recall what device I need to call to make it connect to an AP as well.
On the Onion build it is ra0
config wifi-device 'ra0'
option type 'ralink'
option mode '9'
option channel 'auto'
option txpower '100'
option ht '20'
option country 'US'
option disabled '0'But there is no
ra0device in LEDE. In fact the only devices I see are these.cat /proc/net/dev

eth0.2: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 311766 917 0 0 0 0 0 0So in theory wlan0 should be the device. but when I set it as that I get.

wlan0(): Interface type not supported
'radio0' is disabled
wlan0(): Interface type not supported
'radio0' is disabledThe wifi device is definitely found because it can be seen via iw.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Install offical firmware:
go to -> http://repo.onion.io/omega2/images/ download the latest firmware.
follow -> https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/manual-firmware-installation.html
Either install the firmware over a usb/sd-card or ethernet expansion.Additional information:
LEDE wifi drivers doesn't work on the omega.

Install offical firmware:
the trouble with the official firmware and i have complained about this on numerous occasions is it does not track lede/openwrt properly. So the 2 things I want working on my omega are f2fs and tinc. Both of which cannot because the damn kernel version does not match up with any of the tools or packages.
It is for that reason I am using LEDE directly because it is impossible to use the stock firmware with standard packages.
