Watchping no default config for wwan #1122

Open LaneaLucy opened 3 months ago

LaneaLucy commented 3 months ago

If i want to connect a libremesh node to the Internet via wifi, for example because my hardware has no wan port, i use luci, and when luci creates a wifi client, it name default is wwan. But watching only has default config for wan and wan6. It would really help, when watching default config could also include config for wwan interface.

Thx

When using lime-app there is an option to "connect to a mobile hotspot" just enable this option and configure your wifi access point as specified in the UI. Please let me know if this helps.

The configuration made with LuCI is likely not going to be compatible with the LibreMesh stuff (e.g. when you run lime-config for applying a configuration made with the LibreMesh tools, the one made with LuCI could be damaged. I am not sure about this but for sure there has been no effort since many years to check if the usage of LuCI is compatible with our tools).

The supported configuration method are:

1) editing the /etc/config/lime-node adding a client like this: https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/blob/v2024.1-rc1/packages/lime-docs/files/www/docs/lime-example.txt#L158-L177

2) using lime-app, as mentioned by @javierbrk

Can you try with these two methods? I hope they work, but it would be great if you could confirm that :D
