This ansible role manages wireless connectivity for your OpenWrt node. In the filesystem the config file is /etc/config/wireless. It manages wifi-devices on the one hand and wifi-interfaces on the other.
For possible attributes see the the OpenWrt wifi docs.
Best practice for a new device is to experiment with Luci and make your target config and then implement it in Ansible. This is a straight forward process as variable names correspond to UCI naming.
Interfaces:
openwrt_wifi_interfaces:
wifi1_5g:
mode: "ap"

Group up your devices by your needs. In this example there is one site with two different wifi cards.

The device attribute is not set in the variables as it does not relate to the site but to the device type.
openwrt_wifi_interfaces_standorta:

encryption: "psk2"
key: "asdfasdf"
ssid: "wifi1"
wifi2_5g:

ssid: "wifi2"
wifi3_5g:
mode: "ap"
network: "MGMT"

In order to merge those openwrt_wifi_interfaces_xyz variables you place some actions in your playbook.
Playbook: role_openwrtwireless.yml
- hosts: tags_access-point
pre_tasks:
- name: combine wifi interfaces with site Standort A
set_fact:
openwrt_wifi_interfaces: "{{ openwrt_wifi_interfaces|default({}) | combine(openwrt_wifi_interfaces_standorta, recursive=true) }}"
when: openwrt_wifi_interfaces_standorta is defined
- name: combine wifi interfaces with tag aw7915
set_fact:
openwrt_wifi_interfaces: "{{ openwrt_wifi_interfaces|default({}) | combine(openwrt_wifi_interfaces_aw7915, recursive=true) }}"
when: openwrt_wifi_interfaces_aw7915 is defined
- name: combine wifi interfaces with tag wle600v
set_fact:
