Info: Small thing to do after adding mSata SSD

Since the new radio2 block is completely unconfigured and your old radio1 block probably is fully configured, I’d edit the file in a different way:

The reason the radio1 block isn’t working, is simply due to the fact that the hardware has changed path. The auto-detected radio2 block, on the other hand does have the correct path to the hardware.

So my suggestion would simply be to move the path line from the radio2 block to the radio1 block.
(Or even simple, change the two values that differ.)
Following, I would delete the two blocks auto-generated blocks related to radio2.

In my case the important values looked like this:

config wifi-device ‘radio0’

option path ‘soc/soc:pcie-controller/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:02:00.0’

config wifi-device ‘radio1’

option path ‘soc/soc:pcie-controller/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0’

config wifi-device ‘radio2’

option path ‘soc/soc:pcie-controller/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:03:00.0’

And I would change it like this:

config wifi-device ‘radio0’

option path ‘soc/soc:pcie-controller/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:02:00.0’

config wifi-device ‘radio1’

option path ‘soc/soc:pcie-controller/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:03:00.0’

Following saving the file, I’d type reboot into the ssh shell, and enjoy that both my wifi interfaces are now working.
