  • Refactor Wi-Fi model
  • Add Access Point support (including multi SSID)
  • Fix misc minor bugs

This fix #1082 by adding a scan mode which is a wifi interface with only a radio in the wifi container.

Future improvements (not included in this PR):

  • Check the hardware for supported modes and validate in the c-code (for example it is impossible to run 5ghz on a radio only supporting 2.4Ghz)
  • Implement show interface wifi0 survey or something, to see how crouded the 2.4Ghz band is
  • Implement auto for channel, when generating config, use the python script (wifi-channel-map.py) to automatic set the current best channel, with fallback to 6 or something for 2.4.
  • Implement more settings in AP mode (This only implement bare minimum)
  • Today generate primary SSID och generate BSS is two different function, these could most likely be one

Show the congestion in the 2.4 band.

Future improvements (not included in this PR):

* Check the hardware for supported modes and validate in the c-code (for example it is impossible to run 5ghz on a radio only supporting 2.4Ghz)

* Implement `show interface wifi0 survey` or something, to see how crouded the 2.4Ghz band is

* Implement `auto` for channel, when generating config, use the python script (wifi-channel-map.py) to automatic set the current best channel, with fallback to 6 or something for 2.4.

* Today generate primary SSID och generate BSS is two different function, these could most likely be one

I suggest putting this in a separate issue, this is good stuff!

Great work! 💯🔥 :shipit:

I think the only thing I missed was a little cute picture early in the docs that show how things work. It's a massive wall of text otherwise ... but that we can add later on.
