Ser2net: Purpose of ser2net versus ser2net.conf config files

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

ser2net has 2 config files, if I understand correctly.

  • /etc/config/ser2net
  • /etc/ser2net.conf

What should be defined in one or the other config file?

I just checked the init script here: On start of the service, the init script reads /etc/ser2net.conf and copies it to /tmp/ser2net.conf. Then it appends all entries configured in /etc/config/ser2net to this temporary file and launches ser2net with the file in /tmp.

Using UCI and/or LuCI, you can only edit /etc/config/ser2net.

I would put all values that UCI/LuCI understand into /etc/config/ser2net, since that's OpenWrt's way of configuring services.

There is no need to edit /etc/ser2net.conf unless you'd rather configure in native format. By default /etc/ser2net.conf is only comments, so it does nothing. The UCI system will generate a temporary .conf by parsing the options in /etc/config/ser2net. This is explained in ser2net.conf
