 {{{
 ubus call network.wireless status
 }}}
 This seems to give the same result as
 {{{
 wifi status
 }}}
 Anyway, the output:
 {{{
 root@OpenWrt:~# ubus call network.wireless status
 {
         "radio0": {
                 "up": false,
                 "pending": false,
                 "autostart": true,
                 "disabled": true,
                 "config": {
                         "channel": "11",
                         "hwmode": "11g",
                         "path": "platform\/ar934x_wmac",
                         "htmode": "HT20",
                         "disabled": true
                 },
                 "interfaces": [
                         {
                                 "section": "@wifi-iface[0]",
                                 "config": {
                                         "mode": "ap",
                                         "ssid": "OpenWrt",
                                         "encryption": "none",
                                         "network": [
                                                 "lan"
                                         ],
                                         "mode": "ap"
                                 }
                         }
                 ]
         }
 }
 }}}
 When I put 'disabled' option in ''wifi-iface'' section, I get this:
 {{{
 root@OpenWrt:~# ubus call network.wireless status
 {
         "radio0": {
                 "up": false,
                 "pending": false,
                 "autostart": true,
                 "disabled": true,
                 "config": {
                         "channel": "11",
                         "hwmode": "11g",
                         "path": "platform\/ar934x_wmac",
                         "htmode": "HT20",
                         "disabled": true
                 },
                 "interfaces": [

                 ]
         }
 }
 }}}

 Unfortunately, this seems to be the only change. I saw no other changes
 from situation described in previous post.

 I don't think so. When wireless is __properly__ disabled (item 3 in
 previous post), there is no interface and no survey is possible:
 {{{

 }}}


 {{{

 }}}
