+WLAN configuration
|
|
|
+==================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Gluon allows to configure 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios independently. The configuration
|
|
|
+may include any or all of the three networks "client" (AP mode), "mesh" (802.11s
|
|
|
+mode) and "ibss" (adhoc mode), which can be used simultaneously (using "mesh" and
|
|
|
+"ibss" at same time should be avoided though as weaker hardware usually can't handle the additional
|
|
|
+load). See :doc:`../user/site` for details on the configuration.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Upgrade behaviour
|
|
|
+-----------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+For each of these networks, the site configuration may define a `disabled` flag (by
|
|
|
+default, all configured networks are enabled). This flag is merely a default setting,
|
|
|
+on upgrades the existing setting is always retained (as this setting may have been changed
|
|
|
+by the user). This means that is is not possible to enable or disable an existing network
|
|
|
+configurations during upgrades.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+For the "mesh" and "ibss" networks, the default setting only has an effect if none
|
|
|
+of the two has existed before. If a new configuration has been added for "mesh" or "ibss",
|
|
|
+while the other of the two has already existed before, the enabled/disabled state of the
|
|
|
+existing configuration will also be set for the new configuration.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This allows upgrades to change from IBSS to 11s and vice-versa while retaining the
|
|
|
+"wireless meshing is enabled/disabled" property configured by the user regardless
|
|
|
+of the used mode.
