Hello Paul!!
Well, I tought about uci-defaults, but I tough it won't be so easy to implement due to the fact Wi-Fi is probed asynchronously, and on some devices i saw it takes a little bit (Netgear R7800).
I would have liked to have something already implemented in OpenWRt, so it could be looked at by more people and have much higher chances of working on all devices.
