Can one make the 88W8887 'Third Radio' on the WRT32X and WRT3200ACM actually work in a reliable manner? Let's try.

rmmod mwifiex

modprobe mwifiex

modprobe mwifiex_sdio

wifi up radio2

service 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.
