Wi-fi device does not come up if one interface is disabled

	option 'disabled' '1'

With this config after reboot interface does not come up.
After wifi command it does.

This works just fine here.

May be it is because there are 2 radios on DIR-825.
To get the router restart properly I have to put wifi to rc.local. I looked in the script and cant't get how that could be.

The other radio 5GHz does come up.

I fixed it by adding sleep 1 to /etc/ini.d/network

boot() {
	setup_switch() { return 0; }

	include /lib/network
	setup_switch

	/sbin/wifi detect > /tmp/wireless.tmp
	[ -s /tmp/wireless.tmp ] && {
		cat /tmp/wireless.tmp >> /etc/config/wireless
	}
	rm -f /tmp/wireless.tmp
	sleep 1
	grep -qs config /etc/config/wireless && {
		/sbin/wifi up
	}

	scan_interfaces

	local ifc
	for ifc in $interfaces; do
		local proto
		config_get proto "$ifc" proto

		local auto
		config_get_bool auto "$ifc" auto 1

		type "coldplug_interface_$proto" >/dev/null && [ "$auto" = 1 ] && \
			coldplug_interface_$proto "$ifc"
	done
}

It is probably because the config file is long.

Cannot reproduce it on a multi radio device either (wndr3700).

[Pilot6 <hanipouspilot@…>]

I do not know why, but still there is nothing super specific in my config.
May be wifi detect takes more time than expected or something of that kind.

When guest interfaced is enabled, reboot goes fine.

[Pilot6 <hanipouspilot@…>]

Exactly this was fixed in r28387. I had a little older build.
So it may be closed.
