I think so, but it was a while back. The problem is that the make
menuconfig from OpenWRT does not let you access all kernel parameters
(it does not include the "make menuconfig" from the linux kernel). IIRC,
the reason why I didn't go into too much detail is that I figured that
the WLAN support for AR7 is not very good (I think I read somewhere that
TI does not release all necessary information). And I needed my box to
act as a WPA2-Enterprise client (what usually is not the intended use of
these platforms), not as an access point .
