wifi-chipset-detect: new package

Maintainer: Rob White rob@blue-wave.net

Compile tested: All

Run tested: arm_cortex-a7_neon-vfpv4, mipsel_24kc, mips_24kc,
aarch64_cortex-a53; On 24.10, 25.12 and master/snapshot.

Description: wifi-chipset-detect (1.0.0)

This is a new package that reports in json format the chipset
and driver capabilities of installed wireless hardware.

Developed originally for use where Captive Portal
and Mesh Backhaul networks are being built.

It provides a stand alone script to detect details of the physical
wireless hardware without requiring the radios to be enabled.
There are no dependencies over and above the basic OpenWrt flash image.
It is based on functionality built into the OpenNDS and Mesh11sd packages.

The json formatted output is displayed on the terminal screen.
It is also written to the file /tmp/wifidetect.

This version does not require the Captive Portal
or Mesh network to be running.
