I spent some quality time with the hotspot plugin today, and I've concluded that it would be less risky, less complex, and more repeatable to provide you with the ability to have input (via a hotspot plugin argument) into the bridge configuration, rather than enabling the insertion of a random bridge.I understand that if one requests bridge mode then this would imply that you need a bridge to connect the wlan0 port to, and that is why the code creates one, but, if one already has a bridge, and specifies it like I did with "ipforward=br100" then the code should not create one and use the br100 bridge instead.
I will look into sharing my network-manager files as you ask.
This means that instead of you needing to create your own bridge, you would provide the arguments to the hotspot plugin. For example:
Code:
sdm --runonly plugins --oklive --plugin hotspot:"bridge-config=802-3-ethernet.mtu=xxx bridge.priority=8192|hsname=myhs|wifissid=myhs|wifipassword=mypwd|hsenable|type=bridged"No need for your network-manager files.
Look forward to understanding your bridge config requirements to improve the hotspot. Thx!
