Hi all,
Please may I request any thoughts and feedback on this proposed patch
to the hostapd config generation shell script to add a new
cell_density configuration option?
This would subsequently allow for a LuCI-exposed option to then be
added via a follow up patch for easy, less error prone configuration
of data rates for normal, high and very high density deployments.
Currently, it is both easy to misunderstand basic/mandatory and
optional rates and to misconfigure these, and the current basic_rate
and supported_rates options are not exposed in Luci and are therefore
not easily discoverable or accessible.
I feel that the basic_rate and supported_rates options are best
abstracted via a new setting for general use cases before being
exposed to LuCI.
Where specified, the basic_rate and supported_rates options would
override both the cell_density and legacy_rates options.
Cheers,
Nick
