I can already see people complaining they don't have 802.11n and 802.11ac modes available. GUI would have to be adjuster to hide this internal change (and still show 802.11n as possible choice) to stop that complains. But that would add some hacks in translating GUI (LuCI) <-> UCI configuration. If you really want to get rid of 802.11an, 802.11n, 802.11ac, what about going into something like 5GHz and 2GHz? Maybe that's a better idea? On the other way, it doesn't make much sense to switch into 5GHz and 2GHz, as this can be determined using just a channel number... _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
