[OpenWrt-Users] WGT634U radio not detected

Hello
I just installed openwrt on a WGT634U I bought off ebay (from
http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/7.09/brcm47xx-2.6/openwrt-wgt634u-2.6-squashfs.bin).
 I can't get the radio to work,
the wireless activity light is off, and I'm starting to suspect that
it's broken.  Is there something similar to lspci I can use to check
if the OS even detects it?

# wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device

I may be misunderstanding how this stuff works, but my impression is
that loading ath_pci should create a new device somewhere in /dev.  As
a sanity check, I verified that `find /dev | wc -l` does not change
when loading/unloading ath_pci.

Does this sound like my radio is broken?

thanks
