OpenWrt renamed six ramips WiFi compatibles from *-wmac to *-wifi when aligning the device trees with Linux 6.18 backports. libiwinfo only recognizes the old names and therefore reports Generic MAC80211 on affected devices. Add the new names while retaining the old entries for compatibility. Link: openwrt/openwrt@6e09394 Signed-off-by: Gleb Pesin <dormancygrace@gmail.com>

OpenWrt renamed the WiFi compatibles of six ramips SoCs from
*-wmacto*-wifiwhile aligning the device trees with Linux 6.18 backports:openwrt/openwrt@6e09394
The FDT hardware lookup in libiwinfo requires an exact compatible match, but
devices.txtretained only the old names. Affected radios therefore fall back toGeneric MAC80211instead of their Ralink/MediaTek model.Add the new compatible aliases while retaining the old entries for older device trees.
Tested on the OpenWrt v25.12.5 ramips/mt7620 build environment:
git diff --check-wifiand-wmacentry for every affected SoCmake -j12 package/network/utils/iwinfo/compile V=sOn a ZBT WE826, sysfs reports
ralink,rt7620-wifiwhile the kernel detects the RT6352 MAC and RT7620 RF chipset, reproducing the lookup mismatch.
