[trunk 31870][ar71xx] no wlan after boot

[flux242@…]

I've got Buffalo a300h and I'm using only g mode currently. I'm using 13 channel as the only possibility to make it work in my crowded environment. After boot the wifi is not up.

root@Buffalo:~# cat /etc/config/wireless

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option macaddr '4c:e6:76:c4:52:ea'
        option hwmode '11ng'
        option htmode 'HT20'
        list ht_capab 'SHORT-GI-40'
        list ht_capab 'TX-STBC'
        list ht_capab 'RX-STBC1'
        list ht_capab 'DSSS_CCK-40'
        option txpower '16'
        option country 'DE'
        option channel '13'

config wifi-iface
        option device 'radio0'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'XXXXXXXXXXXX'
        option encryption 'psk2+ccmp'
        option key 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx'

config wifi-device 'radio1'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option channel '36'
        option macaddr '4c:e6:76:c4:52:eb'
        option hwmode '11na'
        option htmode 'HT20'
        list ht_capab 'SHORT-GI-40'
        list ht_capab 'TX-STBC'
        list ht_capab 'RX-STBC1'
        list ht_capab 'DSSS_CCK-40'
        option disabled '1'

config wifi-iface
        option device 'radio1'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'OpenWrt'
        option encryption 'none'

This is the error messages in the syslog after boot

May 28 14:36:15 Buffalo daemon.warn hostapd: wlan0: IEEE 802.11 Configured channel (13) not found from the channel list of current mode (1) IEEE 802.11g
May 28 14:36:15 Buffalo daemon.warn hostapd: wlan0: IEEE 802.11 Hardware does not support configured channel

But if I connect to router via lan and call wifi the wifi is up and running without any problem

root@Buffalo:~# wifi
'radio1' is disabled
Configuration file: /var/run/hostapd-phy0.conf
Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 4c:e6:76:c4:52:ea and ssid 'BuffaloG'

WPA: Not enough entropy in random pool for secure operations - update keys later when the first station connects
'radio1' is disabled

WTF? Do I really need to boot my main computer to bring the wifi up after each reboot now?

[nbd]

what version are you running?

[nbd]

oh, sorry. it's in the title. r31859 should have fixed this issue

[nbd]

oops, accidentally closed the ticket

[flux242@…]

no, it looks like r31859 has not fixed the issue. At least for me

[nbd]

please try r31954 - after updating deselect crda before you build the new image

[flux242@…]

seems to work now. Thanks
