Hi everyone, today I realized that some bridge and L2 properties which weren't working anymore on OpenWrt 21.02 had to be moved from the interface UCI type to the new device UCI type in /etc/config/network.
I thought that in this release the old syntax would continue being supported, however I see that this is not the case, because the stp and macaddr directives were clearly being ignored until I moved those from "interface" to "device", I either misunderstood the previous discussions or there's something wrong here, I also do not see much information about this breaking change in the release notes: https://openwrt.org/releases/21.02/notes-21.02.1, am I missing something? Since I maintain a system called OpenWISP which aims to ease the configuration management of a high number of OpenWrt based devices, I find myself in a tricky situation because OpenWISP now basically won't work fully with OpenWrt 21.02, moreover it needs to support older OpenWrt versions for a while, so I want to ask: do you think it's ok to generate both type of syntaxes (old and new) at the same time? I would assume that an old openwrt version would ignore the new syntax while a newer openwrt version would ignore the old syntax and use the new one. Is there a summary of the config syntax changes? Thanks in advance Best regards Federico Capoano _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
