Device Config: physical_devices doubt: phy0 vs radio0 about netjson HOT 4 CLOSED

radio0 comes from the UCI configuration section name while phy0 comes from the driver in the kernel. The physical device associated with a wireless interface in UCI may be configured using the phy attribute, for example:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
    ...
    option phy 'phy0'

This is how you configure multiple radios on a device. You may also use the MAC address using the macaddr attribute.

I am not sure how this is for non-mac80211 drivers.

from netjson.

thx @kostko - in the meanwhile i'm trying to get more feedback on other channels, will post here updates

from netjson.

information from Jow (openwrt):

phy0 is a mac80211 specific concept
radio0 is an abstract openwrt identifier for "first radio"
on mac80211 this usually maps to pyh0
on proprietary broadcom it would be wl0
on atheros it would be ath0
and so on

from netjson.

I think it's clear now
