WiFi client broken after update to Ω-ware: 0.1.10 b160

Heath Raftery

I, like many on this forum, have had terrible trouble getting WiFi working. Latest issue is that'd I've just upgraded to 0.1.10 b160 (over functioning WiFi) using oupgrade -force, and now I can't reconnect to the WiFi. I've tried everything I could find from the hundred of threads on WiFi issues, but this is the closest I've come:

# wifisetup

	option ifname 'apcli0'
	option proto 'dhcp'
	option hostname 'Omega-D67B'

# cat /etc/config/wireless 

config wifi-device 'ra0'
	option type 'ralink'
	option mode '9'
	option country 'US'
	option ht '40'
	option channel 'auto'
	option disabled '0'

config wifi-iface 'ap'
	option device 'ra0'
	option mode 'ap'
	option network 'wlan'
	option ifname 'ra0'
	option encryption 'psk2'
	option key '12345678'
	option ssid 'Omega-D67B'
	option ApCliSsid 'TheSSID'
	option ApCliPassWord 'ThePassword'
	option ApCliAuthMode 'WPA2PSK'
	option ApCliEnable '0'

config wifi-config
	option ssid 'TheSSID'
	option key 'ThePassword'
	option encryption 'WPA2PSK'

I suspect there's something misconfigured in network or wireless, but I can't figure out a known good default. I've tried changes to ApCliEnable, hwmode, htmode, variant, device_mode, op_mode and so on with no better result. My next step would be a manual reflash... again. Would love to know if there's an easier way.

I wasn't able to solve it and eventually bricked the device, so was forced to start fresh. That fixed my WiFi woes, but now I have space issues.

@Heath-Raftery try out our very latest firmware, it features an overhauled wifi driver and a whole slew of other goodies.

@Lazar-Demin Yeah it worked in 0.2 (see my followup thread with brand new issues). So I guess the issue was that oupgrade -force actually downgraded! What a rough ride...
