Can you see the physical wifi chip on your board? If you google the part
number then you'll probably know whether it's PCI or PCIe.
Looking at this config (I'm hoping that this is the correct device) suggests
that it's a PCIe is at least enabled: [0]
Please note that OpenWrt svn r45717 and r45718 contain bugfixes for PCIe!

Sorry, I have no idea how USB is connected internally.

I had the same behavior when I mixed up the assignment of a phy to the
ethernet-port or when I used an incorrect "reg" config at the ethernet-port.

Yes, have a look at the network driver: [1]
If you have gbit ethernet then you should probably use gmii or rgmii (depending
on the port -> see the source-code).

As a general note:
You can find most pinmux/GPIO settings in the original source code: [2]
Sometimes you need to do some basic calulations (for example interrupts are
+8 in the OpenWrt kernel).
I also suggest to get a copy of Draytek's vigor 2760 GPL sources [3] as they
are shipping the most complete kernel source that I have seen so far.
Using both sources together with the original kernel config helps you
finding the
correct values.
