Wifi error (HM 4.0)

Hello,

Not sure if this is the exact place to post this but I'll give it a try...

A couple of months ago we built several Heatermeters and they all worked fine until a few weeks ago. Mine wasn't able to connect to my wifi network. When I look at the config screens I noticed the tab "WIFI" is gone.

First I thought it was the wifi usb stick that had broken down but when I tried it at my laptop it worked fine. In the Interface Overview I noticed that the wifi connections all had "unsupported protocol type" next to them.

Does anyone have a suggestion how I can solve this issue? At this time I plug the HM into a second wifi router but that's not what I want for a permanent sollution as you can imagine.

Have fun!

The wireless page won't show up if there's no /etc/config/wireless file. You can ssh in and look and see if you have this file or it somehow got deleted or something. If there isn't one, it can be created.
Code:
wifi detect
(should spit out a bunch of information about the wifi)
wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless
 
Bryan, you're great! I've been fiddling around in the files and found out that the wifi was disabled. And then it was easy: wifi enabled and go.

Bit strange that I haven't been able to find this myself but thanks big time for the help!
