FS#550 - hostapd (wpad-mesh) fails to start interface at same time with meshpoint interface

Just something I've noticed: When encryption is set to none + a key is set (to "reallysecretkey") then it fails.

But when you set encryption to none and key not at all then it will work. The relevant code portion can be found in lib/netifd/wireless/mac80211.sh


		mesh)
			# authsae or wpa_supplicant
			json_get_vars key
			if [ -n "$key" ]; then


It checks for key and not encryption - thought it would check for encryption != none.

So it may not affect gluon after all because their config doesn't contain a "key" setting for the meshpoint device.

But the rest (encrypted mesh + AP) looks like a regression to me. It was working with encryption well in the past when it was still called OpenWrt - forgot the commit I've used.
