Can one make the 88W8887 'Third Radio' on the WRT32X and WRT3200ACM actually work in a reliable manner? Let's try.
wifi down radio2
rmmod mwifiex_sdio
rmmod mwifiex
modprobe mwifiex
modprobe mwifiex_sdio
wifi up radio2service network restart
...OK, give a a minute or so to 'settle down'
Oh, and make sure to set the 88W8964 / 802.11a Radio to Channel 36 or something above Channel 144
But also remember, it is a 'rinky dink' little Radio, so just more of a statement of 'That can be done', at least for OpenWRT 19.07 as the newer versions of OpenWRT make that more difficult, if not impossible.
Also don't expect to see that Radio on a PCIe or USB Bus as it's one of those SoC Bus things.
Bonus Info
Normally a USB based Radio could be reset with something like the example below, but not the 'SoC Bus' of the one noted above
