    ath79: remove kmod-ath9k and wpad from Mikrotik RB750r2
    
    The RB750r2 (HEXLite) does not have wifi and those packages bloat the image
    by a significant amount. When building a custom image with WireGuard and
    booting that from initramfs, there wasn't enough space left in tmpfs to
    upload and flash the squashfs image. Investigating what packages I could
    remove, I discovered these unneeded ones.
