Routers running MediaTek's proprietary mt_wifi SDK driver (e.g. GL.iNet)
never register with cfg80211/mac80211, so they have no `iw dev` entry and
no /sys/class/ieee80211 phy even though the radio is real and working —
find_wireless_iface was bailing with "No wireless radio found" on these.
Fall back to iwinfo's device listing, which abstracts over vendor backends
too, and to the vendor's iwpriv site-survey ioctl for scanning when iwinfo
itself can't trigger a scan on the interface.
- WISP wizard: step-by-step flow for WiFi, DHCP, masquerade config
- WAN status: expose lan_ip, dhcp_start/limit, masq, sta_state, wifi_log
- wifi_scan: detect CCMP as WPA2 (psk2) so association succeeds
- opkg: PkgManager enum — detect apk-native mode when opkg not in repos
- tollgate: apk-native install path using manual ipk extraction
- arch detection: read DISTRIB_ARCH from /etc/openwrt_release; normalise
bare mipsel/mips from uname -m to mipsel_24kc/mips_24kc
- install_ipk: install binutils via apk when ar not in BusyBox
- install_ipk: wget --no-check-certificate for routers without CA bundle
- install_ipk: ar fallback to tar -xzf for non-standard ipk formats
- install_ipk: 5MB overlay space check with clear user-facing error
- middleware: allow "Not enough flash/space" errors through sanitizer

wifi up does nothing without a wifi-iface section in UCI (common on fresh
flash). Instead, create a temporary managed interface directly on phy0
via nl80211 (iw phy phy0 interface add scan0 type managed), scan on it,
then delete it. No netifd/UCI involvement needed for scanning.

On a freshly-flashed OpenWrt router, radio0 is disabled by default so
iw dev returns empty. Detect the PHY via /sys/class/ieee80211/, enable
radio0, run `wifi up`, then poll up to 8s for netifd to create the
virtual interface before handing it to iwinfo scan.

wlan0 doesn't exist on OpenWrt 25.x with mt76 drivers (Cudy TR1200);
interfaces are named phy0-ap0 etc. `iw dev` handles all mac80211
naming styles. The old while-read loop also exited with code 1 when
no match was found, causing run_ok to fail.

New RPC methods:
- openwrt.scan-wifi: triggers iwinfo scan on the router radio,
returns networks sorted by signal strength
- openwrt.configure-wan: creates UCI wireless.wwan (sta mode) +
network.wwan (DHCP) + adds wwan to firewall WAN zone, then
calls `wifi reload`
get-status now includes a `wan` object with configured/ssid/ip/
internet fields so the UI can show current uplink state.
Frontend WAN panel: scan → pick SSID (signal bars) → enter password
→ apply. Shows "Configure WAN first" hint above TollGate install
button when internet is not available.
