[Cerowrt-devel] saner defaults for config/firewall

I am familiar with that command :) Was wondering if there was something I
could do when I cannot ssh into the router. As mentioned above, when trying
to configure the bridge I hit a point where I could nt get in the router
anymore.

I understand the design decisions of the project and far from me the idea
of challenging them :) I was simply trying to provide an alternative config
with a standard bridge ethernet + wifi for reference. I believe that in the
case mentioned by Sebastian (multiple, mobile, devices accessing resources
across segments) bridging is a simple way forward.

In my particular case, correct route propagation is a problem on IPV6 (im
not running babel) and I have only 2 wifi clients... Bridging has never
shown any perf issues in the past so I 'd like to switch back to this
simpler setup. I can picture that this might not fit the bill for more
intensive use cases.
