Hi,

this is rather an OpenWrt question than an OpenWISP question :-)

I would argue that you need an interface because most services use an
interface, not a wifi interface :-)

The documentation on wifi interfaces

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/basic#wifi_interfaces

states that the option network (OpenWISP uses the option ifname instead)
is required for a wifi interface. Which is what you mentioned - you need
to reference an interface for this wifi interface.

Additionally, you need an interface anyway to configure the IP address,
may it be a static address or assigned via DHCP.

Greetings,
Oliver
