| 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?
