[OpenWrt-Devel] "3-address Wi-Fi bridging" (was: Multiple Wi-Fi client/AP interfaces on one radio)

[David Lang]

Well, if you are going to be modifying the GUI and adding a button to chagne 
between two configs, where you store the two configs is going to be up to you.

When the button is clicked, you need to copy the approriate config to 
/etc/config/wireless and run the wifi command to restart wifi with the new 
config (I don't know the exact command to run, do wifi -h and look for a restart 
option). Or, since the other LUCI stuff writes the file and then restarts 
things, you can copy that code (which you will be looking at when you modify it 
to include the new button and related functionality)

the files/ process lets you put whatever files you want in place to then use via 
your change to LUCI.

for details of how to change the LUCI code, you should ask on it's development 
mailing list.
