Flint 3 firmware 4.8.3 possible issue

Router

I found a potential minor issue with Flint 3.

NOTE: Tested on a reset Flint 3 (firmware version 4.8.3) with guest wireless network turned on.

Issue: It seems bridge "br-guest" is not correctly setup.

Steps to replicate:

  • Go to "Network > Interfaces > Interfaces", under "guest" you it shows "br-guest".
  • Go to "Network > Interfaces > Devices", there is no "br-guest" but if you try to create "br-guest" then it says: The device name "br-guest" is already taken.

Possible fix: Also, if you look at /etc/config/network, there is a "config device" section for "br-lan" but no similar section for "br-guest". If you add the following to /etc/config/network it seems to resolve the issue:

config device
option name 'br-guest'
option type 'bridge'

We are still internally discussing a viable solution for this, so a firmware fix might not be released in the immediate future.

For the time being, please continue to use the workaround you mentioned to resolve the issue.
