Determination of Router Model

[chillifire]

Hi,

I thought I had figured out over time that the router model is determined in /etc/init.d/webif. However, when I installed X-WRT on a Nanostation 2 today, There it was on the Info Page: Naostation 2 - however, the string Nanostation does not even appear in /etc/init.d/webif. The same happened with a Asus WL-520GU. X-WRT knew it was the model, although there seems nothing in /etc/init.d/webif to suggest how the system figgures out it is precisely that model.

Question to the developers: Where, other than in the /etc/init.d/webif is the router model determined?

Please advise.

Thanks

See lines 32 and 33 in /etc/init.d/webif

Code:

[ -z "$device_name" ] && [ -f "/proc/diag/model" ] && device_name=$(cat "/proc/diag/model")
[ -z "$device_name" ] && [ -f "/proc/sys/dev/wifi0/dev_name" ] && device_name=$(cat "/proc/sys/dev/wifi0/dev_name")

The above code will grab the model name if it is set by openwrt. In the case of the nanostation line 33 would have the model name.
