Subject: watchcat: resolve logical interface names
X-Git-Url: http://git.99rst.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dd826b7de646897b2534b19c45966fc95d536a65;p=openwrt-packages.git

watchcat: resolve logical interface names

Allow logical interface references in watchcat interface options.

Resolve those names to real netifd devices for ping -I.

Keep logical names for ifup and real-device find_config behavior.

Use separate helpers for ping and restart values to avoid eval.

Treat ModemManager mm_iface_name=null as empty, not a modem name.
