If i remember correctly, from copying images from one device to another, the 'path' option is automatically generated during some initial boot voodoo (such as after a 'firstboot')
after a config wipe (firstboot), on the first boot, there are some basic structures set up automatically- after which you modify the existing structures. If i remember correctly, every boot of the system runs a 'wifi detect'. If no /etc/config/wireless exists, it will create and fill in that file. After the system has /etc/config/wireless , 'wifi detect' doesn't do anything If you remove/rename /etc/config/wireless, and run 'wifi detect'- it will output (to stdout) the configuration that it would write to /etc/config/wireless on first boot. See http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/wireless#regenerate.configuration for more info. Camden On Fri, Nov 21, 2014 at 4:22 AM, Robert P. J.
