If the user has left the setup mode and starts a uhttpd instance to
serve the config mode during normal runtime of the gluon node, this
change is helpful. Instead of the "Save" or "Save & reboot" button,
now a "Save & apply" button is presented. If this button is pressed,
"gluon-reload" including a "gluon-reconfigure" is invoked internally
causing the node to regenerate and reload its configuration
immediately.
Currently such an uhttpd instance is not running by default, but a
user can start such an instance manually and access it via ssh port
forwarding.
This will hide the outdoor mode setting on compatible devices in case
the defined channels should be preserved.
Otherwise a user might be under the impression their device is compliant
with outdoor operation when in reality it still uses prohibited
channels.
Instead of relying on the existence of interface sections only (which is
still used for the case of interface types that are not configured at
all in the site config), add a proper dependency.
This fixes section visiblity with enabled outdoor mode after the following
fix, and gives the user immediate feedback (allowing to disable outdoor
mode and enable meshing in a single step).
200-wireless will add or remove the mesh network sections of
/etc/config/network. Commit this file, so the modified setting doesn't
get lost on reboot.
Fixes: #2048
Separate wireless-related helper methods from the util module to a
new wireless module. This keeps them separated, as the amount of
wireless helpers increased in the past, justifying a separate module.
Add the `wifi5.outdoor_chanlist` site configuration that
allows specifying an outdoor channel range that can be
switched to for regulatory compliance.
Upon enabling the outdoor option the device will
- configure the `outdoor_chanlist` on all 5 GHz radios
- which may enable DFS/TPC, based on the regulatory domain
- disable ibss/mesh on the 5 GHz radio, as DFS *will*
break mesh connections
- allow for htmode reconfiguration on 5 GHz radios
The outdoor option can be toggled from
- Advanced Settings
- W-LAN
- Outdoor Installation
The `preserve_channel` flag overrules the outdoor channel
selection.
- CGI script and index.html are moved from gluon-web to
gluon-config-mode-core, the script is renamed to 'config'
- gluon-web and gluon-web-model base views and i18n files are symlinked
into the new path
- gluon-web-theme is renamed to gluon-config-mode-theme and installs
directly into the new path
- all gluon-web-* models, controllers and views are moved into the new
path
