FS#2750 - Wireless on Netgear WNDR3700v2 not working

ender:

After upgrading my Netgear WNDR3700 v2 to 19.07 (ath79 target), the WiFi cards aren't detected.

Here are the outputs of [[http://p.0au.de/45f01c91/|dmesg]], [[http://p.0au.de/1b3e7547/|logread]], [[http://p.0au.de/469247eb/|lsmod | grep ath]], [[http://p.0au.de/1d229e27/|ls /sys/bus/pci/*]], [[http://p.0au.de/155a698e/|lspci -vnn]]; at the recommendation of PaulFertser in #openwrt, I tried //echo -n 168c ff1d > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ath9k/new_id//, which resulted in some [[http://p.0au.de/89f3577a/|error messages in dmesg]], but the WiFi interfaces still aren't detected (wifi config produces an empty file).

With ar71xx target, wifi works; the cards seem to have a different [[PCI ID|http://p.0au.de/3393221e/]], too. [[http://p.0au.de/25099c95/|dmesg]], [[http://p.0au.de/a56c9e80/|logread]], [[http://p.0au.de/4abbf8e6/|ls /sys/bus/pci/*]].

More info: looks like ath79 failed because kmod-owl-loader wasn't included in my build (when I was building the firmware, I took my Archer C7 config and just changed the Target Profile to Netgear WNDR3700v2); with owl-loader the WiFi works fine.

So, can you please check whether the problem exists with our snapshot builds? There, kmod-owl-loader should be selected.
