Netifd – Network Configuration Management

Definition: netifd is the network interface daemon for managing network configurations.

Internals:

  • Reads UCI configurations from /etc/config/network.
  • Manages interfaces (e.g., Ethernet, Wi-Fi, VLANs) and protocols (e.g., DHCP, PPPoE).
  • Handles hotplug events for dynamic interface changes.
  • Communicates via UBUS for integration with other components.
