[feature] Add support for 802.11s #895

Closed Darin755 closed 1 month ago

Darin755 commented 1 month ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. OpenWRT has good support for mesh networks.

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/mesh/80211s

Mesh networking allows devices to talk on a shared network that is self healing. This eliminates the need for wires.

Describe the solution you'd like Ideally there should be a OpenWISP template that is dedicated to setting up a mesh network. You already can create a network so it shouldn't be a stretch to add support for 802.11s.

Describe alternatives you've considered I could configure the backplane manually
