Set interface wireless wlan0 disable

Bugs

Hi,
I used the wireless interface on my VyOS box as a client for the first time when my main internet dropped out, and it worked great… (later one day I’ll look into the WAN load balancer stuff so I can automagically start using my tethered phone next time the internet drops…)

But when I went to disable the wlan0 interface but leave the config there, using the disable command like I would for an ethernet interface, the “disable” config option was not available?
Is this a bug or ommission? or is there a better way to go about this.

thanks

Hi,

which version of VyOS are you using? The Wireless interface has undergone a huge rewrite to the new config backend and a disable option is availble in latest rolling releases.

Hi, I’m using VyOS 1.2.4
if the disable option is in the rolling release, then great, I expect I’ll get it soon.
thanks
