Weird: unrecognized option --dhcpif=ath2 ?

Hi Jimmy,

There is only one chilli executable (/usr/sbin/chilli) but would any other
files (other executables like chilli_query, etc) or any librarys (like
libchilli.so.0.0.0) cause this issue?

I'm just trying to work out what to look at and/or compare to other,
working, boxes I have.

Normally I'd just make a new openwrt setup and replace it but its on an
antenna on the side of a 3 story building so getting it down would be very
difficult.

thanks,

Derek
