h1. USB radio

To use USB radios kmod-ath9k-htc is needed, when an USB radio is plugged a folder is created in /sys/devices/platform/ehci-platform/usb1/*/*/ieee80211/ like /sys/devices/platform/ehci-platform/usb1/1-1/1-1\:1.0/ieee80211/phy2

OpenWrt wifi detect not detect this kind of devices, but if an entry is created in /etc/config/wireless describing the hardware and in particular specifing the path relative to /sys/devices it will capable of manage the device

<pre>

cd /sys/devices/

for physPath in platform/ehci-platform/usb*/*/*/ieee80211/*

do

	phyName="$(basename ${physPath})"

	phyIndex="$(echo ${phyName} | grep -o '[0-9]*')"

	uci batch <<BATCH

delete wireless.radio${phyIndex}

set wireless.radio${phyIndex}=wifi-device

set wireless.radio${phyIndex}.type=mac80211

set wireless.radio${phyIndex}.hwmode=11ng

set wireless.radio${phyIndex}.path="$(echo ${physPath} | awk -F"ieee80211" '{print $1}')"

add_list wireless.radio${phyIndex}.ht_capab="LDPC"
