wireless AP almost working: is this a radio error?

I did a net install of Wheezy on my Server Plus and I am running the following kernel:

Linux guruplug 3.2.0-4-kirkwood #1 Debian 3.2.35-2 armv5tel GNU/Linux

eth0 is on my internal nework 192.168.1.255 and I want the micro AP to provide
addresses on 192.168.0.255

I followed the instructions here http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=1648.0;wap2
and got as far as having the microAP accept commands but it doesn't appear to
other wireless devices. The radio seems to be off since there are no packets moving:

Code:

uap0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr MAC ID
inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

I don't know what "no-carrier" means.

Code:

# ip link list
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
link/ether MAC ID hidden brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: uap0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
link/ether MAC ID hidden brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Here is dmesg:

Code:

But I don't see anything obvious from uaputl:

Code:

# uaputl -i uap0 sys_config

I am checking my networking configuration (dnsmasq, etc.) but I want to rule out a wireless device
problem.
