Ugh... I have several objections to this, but I just saw the goes target has the same ones already present. First of all, you would achieve the same by directly putting uci config files into alix2/base-files/etc/config/ (like the olpc target has). Secondly: > +set wireless.wlan0.type=mac80211 what if I want to use madwifi? > +set wireless.wlan0.hwmode=11g So I'm not allowed to use 11n? > +set wireless.wlan0.country=US What if I'm not in US? > +set wireless.@wifi-iface[-1].ssid=typhoon What's wrong with Openwrt, the default everywhere else? ;) > +set wireless.@wifi-iface[-1].key="passphrase" Ugh, vulnerable to a dictionary attack ... > +set wireless.@wifi-iface[-1].hidden=0 This is afaik needless, as 0/false is the default when the key is not present. What if I have an alix2 with 2 mini PCI slots and two wifi cards? Then my second one won't be visible. Also why is wifi /enabled/ by default with a weak password? Security wise this is A Bad Idea. The network part looks a-okay configuration wise, but I don't like the generation at firstboot. Also I'm not sure what happens if I change the default network config in menuconfig when building my own image. Dynamically setting the network configuration might be acceptable if there e.g. would be a check on how many eths are present and then assigning the eths to wan and lan.
