Title: How to scan for and connect to APs? (FireWRT's OpenWRT)
I have a default build of the FireWRT from the git repository. The default access points are visible, but I want to test the radios as a client.

First, I cannot seem to scan for networks:
"iwlist <device> scanning" says operation not supported for all the interfaces (ra0, rai0, apcli0, apclii0)
"iwinfo <device> scan" says scanning not possible
"iwpriv <device> get_site_survey" returns no results even though there are results.

How can I scan for networks properly? Am I missing some step?

Secondly, how do I actually connect to an access point? I have the below in /etc/config/wireless:

config wifi-device    mt7602e
      option type    mt7602e
      option hwmode 11n
      option htmode HT40
      option channel  6
      option mode    9

config wifi-iface
      option device mt7602e
      option ifname ra0
      option network  lan
      option mode    ap
      option ssid    FireWRT-2.4G-B22A
      option encryption psk2
      option key    firefly2015
      option ApCliEnable 1
      option ApCliSsid SM-N900VC38B
      option ApCliAuthMode WPA2PSK
      option ApCliEncrypType AES
      option ApCliPassword MyPassword

Then I tried both /sbin/wifi and ifconfig apcli0 up; neither actually associated to the access point.

How do I connect?

MTK wifi driver not support scanning APs.
if you need it , please use "kmod-mt76 ".
