ArjenandJohnathan Corgan 40b24cc9df chore(openwrt): ship the radio transports enabled and optional
The mesh0/mesh1 and ap0/ap1 Ethernet transports shipped commented out, and
fips-mesh-setup / fips-ap-setup awk-toggled the comment prefix in fips.yaml
when they created or removed an interface. That existed for one reason: a
transport whose interface was missing at startup was skipped and never
retried, so a stock install that never ran the helpers would have logged a
bind warning every boot.

The daemon now waits for the interface and binds it when it appears, so the
toggling has nothing left to protect. The blocks ship enabled with
optional: true — which is the honest statement about a radio the router may
never configure — and the helpers create the interface and stop there. No
config rewrite, and no "restart fips AFTER the interface is up" step
anywhere in either procedure.

phy0-sta0 (wwan) gets optional: true for the same reason: it only exists
while a radio is in station mode. eth0 and br-lan stay required, and the
test pins that they do — marking the whole ethernet block optional would
silence exactly the failures this policy exists to surface. With presence on
IFF_UP rather than IFF_UP|IFF_RUNNING, that stays correct for a router with
nothing plugged into its LAN ports: absence now means the netdev is gone or
admin-down, a real fault, rather than an empty switch port.

fips-ap-setup still edits node.rendezvous.lan, and that one does still need
a restart: it is a config value, not an interface.

The changelog entry gains an upgrade note. fips.yaml is a package conffile, so
a router whose setup script had already uncommented a block keeps that block
untouched and never receives the new key; with optional defaulting to false
the block is required, and an absent interface there stays Degraded and errors
once at ten seconds where the shipped file is silent.

# fips-ap-setup — configure the open "FIPS" access SSID for phones/laptops.
#
# Usage:
# fips-ap-setup <radio> [ssid] e.g. fips-ap-setup radio0
# fips-ap-setup remove [radio] no radio: remove all instances
#
# Creates an open AP on the given radio so client devices running FIPS can
# reach the router. Every FIPS router broadcasts the SAME SSID ("!FIPS" by
# default — the leading '!' sorts it to the top of alphabetically ordered
# network pickers): same SSID + unique BSSIDs is one standard ESS, so a
# phone saves the network once and roams between all FIPS routers natively.
#
# - encryption 'none' — the AP is OPEN on purpose. FIPS's Noise IK
# handshake authenticates and encrypts everything above the radio, and
# the security type must be uniform across ALL routers anyway: clients
# key a saved network on SSID + security type, so one router with a PSK
# splits the ESS into a different saved network. A stranger can
# associate AND form a FIPS peer link — that is the point of open
# access. The Noise handshake authenticates each link (no
# impersonation of another identity, no MITM); it does NOT gate who
# may peer. Admission is open up to the daemon's max-peers cap; the
# firewall zone below is what confines every client to the FIPS
# overlay (no path to br-lan or the WAN).
# - DHCPv4 + RA IPv6 — dnsmasq serves DHCPv4 from a FIXED subnet,
# 10.21.<N>.0/24 (echoes FIPS port 2121), identical on every router:
# a roaming phone keeps its lease across routers, and dnsmasq's
# authoritative mode (the OpenWrt default) ACKs the renew a foreign
# router never issued. odhcpd additionally announces a ULA prefix in
# router advertisements (stateless SLAAC); DHCPv6 stays off. FIPS
# itself only needs link-local + mDNS, but client provisioning checks
# (Android disconnects without an RA or a DHCP offer) and plain
# laptops both want a real address. The network provides no internet,
# so phones mark it unvalidated and keep cellular as the default
# route while staying associated.
# - ISOLATED — own network and firewall zone: no path to
# br-lan, no forwarding to the WAN, and AP client isolation on.
# Associated clients reach only the FIPS handshake surface.
#
# Interfaces are named per radio index (radio0 -> fips-ap0, radio1 ->
# fips-ap1). Unlike the 802.11s backhaul there is NO same-channel
# constraint — clients scan when they roam, so every router picks its
# access channels freely.
#
# The shipped /etc/fips/fips.yaml carries 'ap0' and 'ap1' entries under
# 'transports.ethernet' bound to these names, enabled and marked
# 'optional: true'. The daemon treats a named interface that is not there as
# ABSENT rather than as a start failure: it waits, binds the moment the
# interface appears, and unbinds again when it goes away — so creating the
# interface is all this helper has to do for the transport, with no config
# rewrite and no daemon restart.
#
# It does still edit one thing: the node.rendezvous.lan block (mDNS/DNS-SD —
# how phone FIPS apps discover the daemon). That is a config value rather than
# an interface, so it does need a restart to take effect. The switch is
# daemon-wide and stays on at remove.
# See docs/how-to/set-up-open-access-ssid.md for the full guide.

Created open access SSID '$SSID' as $AP_IFNAME on $RADIO \
(band ${BAND:-?}, channel ${CHANNEL:-auto}).
DHCPv4 on $AP_ADDR4/24 and RA IPv6 on $AP_ADDR — no internet,
isolated from br-lan and the WAN.
ALL FIPS routers must broadcast this SSID with the same security type
(open) — phones then save it once and roam between routers as one
network. The 10.21.$IDX.0/24 subnet is the same on every router on
purpose: leases survive roaming. Unlike the mesh backhaul, channels
are free per router. On a dual-band router, run fips-ap-setup for the
other radio too so clients can pick either band.
On first connect a phone warns that the network has no internet —
choose "stay connected" and "don't ask again". That choice is stored
per SSID, so it covers every FIPS router.
Next steps:
1. $TRANSPORT_NOTE
Watch it bind with: fipsctl show transports
2. $MDNS_NOTE
mDNS is a config value, not an interface, so it needs a restart:
/etc/init.d/fips restart
3. Associate a phone or laptop running FIPS and verify:
iw dev $AP_IFNAME station dump
and the FIPS link on top of it:
fipsctl show peers
Run 'fips-ap-setup remove' to undo all instances, or
'fips-ap-setup remove $RADIO' for just this one.
