I am hoping Seamus can chime in with the LuCI error regarding QS values.

Commotion comes with a few default profiles (defaultMesh, defaultAP,
etc). But once you go through the QuickStart, the node creates and
starts using another set of profiles: quickstartPlug, quickstartMesh,
quickstartAP, quickstartSec (or something similar). So those are the
profiles you will want to change.

When I get into the office today I'll take a look at the web interface
for changing the profiles. Are you using DR1 or DR2?
