[Commotion-dev] commotion on barrier breaker

[Josh King]

Hi Miles & Dan,

The hotplug scripts are already practically a deprecated system in 
Attitude Adjustment, so I imagine with Barrier Breaker we're going to 
be looking to use something else entirely. My intent is to have 
commotiond listen on ubus for network events, and to then configure 
OLSRd and the network directly, thus replacing many of our scripts. 
However, I don't anticipate working more on ubus bindings until after I 
have commotiond stable on desktop Linux, as Barrier Breaker still seems 
to be a ways out. I would be interested in working with anyone that 
wanted to do more general testing on Barrier Breaker, though, as it has 
a lot of interesting new features that I'm not fully familiar with yet.

The olsr hotplug script seems to be run twice, once for the AP and once for the mesh interface. But the hotplug script detects both as wlan0. When I edit the script to use device instead of interface, the script recognizes the correct interface, but something breaks in queries to commotiond.
