Sadly it is not as specific as I would prefer (there are going to be multiple wireless interfaces using the same radio), but it is better than my current approach. > [..] > You could also do: > > # uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].disabled='1' > # wifi reload My original plan was to disable the "auto" flag of the interface and control its state via "ifup" and "ifdown" (based on events). This would allow human users to override the automatic behaviour via the above "disabled" flag of the wireless interface, if necessary. But maybe this is not too important. > If by interface you mean eg "lan" (as in iface names > in /etc/config/network) then you need to get the mapping from "lan" to > "radio0" using (for example) something like this: > > # uci show wireless.$(uci show wireless | grep lan | cut -d. -f2) |\ > grep device |cut -d= -f2 to get > > You can of course get the logical-network-iface > logical-wifi-iface > mapping in other ways (ubus, libiwinfo-lua, ...) I was hoping to learn an approach that would free me from retrieving the corresponding wireless interface(s) on my own. A simple counterpart of "ifup" would have been really nice. Anway: thank you for your time and your hints. I will follow your advice.
