It works great!!! Just one little point: Where it says Nanostation Loco2) i should be "Nanostation Loco2"). Then, to select vertical antenna in nanosation loco2, you should choose external antenna in /etc/conf/wireless. I passed from detecting 4 networks to see more than 24, just as using AirOS. Great job!!!
Thanks a lot and please upload the patch in the repository.
