Linksys E2500V3 disabling USB also disables 5GHZ WiFi #445

I think I have found a bug, but I can't tell if it is in Advanced Tomato, Shibby Tomato, or the underlying dd-wrt code. I have a Linksys E2500 V3 router with Advanced Tomato (tomato-E2500v3USB-NVRAM60K-1.28.AT-RT-N5x-MIPSR2-3.5-140-Mega-VPN.bin) installed.
When I log into the Advanced Tomato menu, go to "USB & NAS > USB support" and uncheck the box for "core USB support" it disables all the USB functions as it should. But, upon reboot, the 5GHZ WiFi is missing completely. The 5GHZ radio is not just disabled, it is missing entirely. The router behaves as if it doesn't have 5GHZ capability. Rebooting again makes no difference. BTW: 2.4GHZ WiFi works fine, no issues. I was able to restore 5GHZ WiFi by reloading a .cfg file from several days ago. I tried this twice and it was the same both times. Perhaps this is the cause of some complaints about 5GHZ WiFi not working? --Jack--
