How to add a wifi-device to prepare dual-band?

Hi openhy,

The 88W8897 Wi-Fi module has only one radio device and dual-band is enabled by default. As shown in this page:

http://wiki.espressobin.net/tiki-index.php?page=Configuring+wireless+network+on+ESPRESSObin

you have to change option disabled 1 to option disabled 0 in your /etc/config/wireless, commit the changes and run wifi command for the changes to take effect. Or, just do:

$ uci set wireless.radio0.disabled='0' && uci commit wireless && wifi
