Missing apcli0 interface with openwrt 23.05

[Alberto Brosich]

Hello.
I have a weird issue using wireless network on onion omega2p.
With an old openwrt 18 image works all fine. With a 23.05 image the apcli0 interface is missing:

# ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 88:1e:59:00:3f:69 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.2.129/24 brd 192.168.2.255 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::8a1e:59ff:fe00:3f69/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
8: ra0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 88:1e:59:00:3f:68 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.3.1/24 brd 192.168.3.255 scope global ra0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fda2:fb96:9cf5:10::1/60 scope global noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::8a1e:59ff:fe00:3f68/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

and if I try to enable it I get an error:

# ifconfig apcli0 up
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

And obviously with ifup command:

# ifup wwan
# ifstatus wwan
{
	"up": false,
	"pending": false,
	"available": true,
	"autostart": true,
	"dynamic": false,
	"proto": "dhcp",
	"device": "apcli0",
	"data": {
		
	},
	"errors": [
		{
			"subsystem": "interface",
			"code": "DEVICE_CLAIM_FAILED"
		}
	]
}

This is the configuration of the wireless client:

# uci show wireless.client
wireless.client=wifi-iface
wireless.client.device='radio0'
wireless.client.network='wwan'
wireless.client.mode='sta'
wireless.client.ssid='MySSID'
wireless.client.key='MyKey'
wireless.client.encryption='psk2'
wireless.client.ifname='apcli0'
wireless.client.disabled='0'

The AP mode works fine, I can connect to.
No clues from dmesg.
Disabling ra0 changes nothing. In any case, in my application I need both.

Any suggest? What I'm doing wrong?

Regards

Alberto

@Alberto-Brosich can you post the output of the command uci show network

[Alberto Brosich]

This is the output.

@Alberto-Brosich The output of uci show wireless would be helpful as well!

[Alberto Brosich]

Here it is. Thanks in advance.

# uci show wireless
wireless.radio0=wifi-device
wireless.radio0.type='mac80211'
wireless.radio0.path='platform/10300000.wmac'
wireless.radio0.channel='auto'
wireless.radio0.band='2g'
wireless.radio0.htmode='HT40'
wireless.radio0.disabled='0'
wireless.default_radio0=wifi-iface
wireless.default_radio0.device='radio0'
wireless.default_radio0.network='wlan'
wireless.default_radio0.mode='ap'
wireless.default_radio0.ssid='SSID-XXXX'
wireless.default_radio0.encryption='psk2'
wireless.default_radio0.ifname='ra0'
wireless.default_radio0.key='xxxxx'
wireless.default_radio0.disabled='0'
wireless.client=wifi-iface
wireless.client.device='radio0'
wireless.client.network='wwan'
wireless.client.mode='sta'
wireless.client.ssid='MySSID'
wireless.client.key='MyKey'
wireless.client.encryption='psk2'
wireless.client.ifname='apcli0'
wireless.client.disabled='0'

and this is the output of wifi status:
