wifi detect is called in /etc/init.d/boot before uci_apply_defaults is called.
Because of this if we don't have the data about the radio0path we need to remove the wifi config file first before calling wifi detect.
Needs to be in uci-defaults to be sure these data sets execute BEFORE the OS boots
We also need to get radio0 path because its mandatory for wifi to work.
Needed for sysupgrade from 3.0.2 to latest version.
Allows nodes to default to a common channel that is in the most common bandplan space for Part 97 usage.
Local cordination is still needed by users to make sure the channel matches the local deployment.
Defaults are as follows:
Band : Channel Freq : Bandwidth
900 : 912MHz : 5MHz
2400 : 1 2412MHz : 20MHz
3400 : 3420MHz : 5MHz
5800 : 149 5745MHz : 5MHz
2.4GHz keeps channel 1 at 20MHz because it is the standard deployment.
All other bands are still 'new' and no standard exist so we are creating one.
5MHz chosen because it better fits the emcomm goal. Smaller width should be stronger allowing for better networks.
Local networks can change as they see fit.
Remove setting RF channel on first boot in uci-defaults.
This should allow the node to use standard wifi channels when it boots allowing mesh setup to be run from a laptop or mobile device.
We will later move them to a real mesh channel during the mesh setup page.
Should also resolv issue where nodes were booting up on channel -2 and similar and wifi would refuse to start due to regdomain.
When a node is first setup (unconfigured) the rf channel or when user presses reset button the wifi channel and bandwidth will be set to mesh default even if it does not match the current RF channel.
Spectrum testing proved to work out well. Merge code into mainline so we can better test with the rest of the hardware.
Also extends ability for 3.4 GHz devices (3.38=3.50)
Adds 5MHz spacing options for 5.8Ghz and allows more channels
Adds -2,-1,0 channel support on 2.4GHz

Add the NLQ to the remote neighbors display so users can see both directions of the path from the mesh status screen.
ETX is dependent upon both directions of the path.
Config file is present upon initial start and in mesh mode.
Daemon still starts up in other modes but will not function w/o settings.
Firewall:
Permit access for UDP:161 (SNMPD) on WIFI and DTDLINK
Lan is permitted by default allow rules.
