Re: (Go) Library for configuring Yocto based boxes?
Christofer Dutz <christofer.dutz@...>
Hi all, I’m using a go library: github.com/Wifx/gonetworkmanager for this. My network configurations now end up in a directory /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections (I can see files with the name "{connection-id}.nmconnection" Any tips on how I can apply my changes without rebooting?

Searching for UCI in the recipe index [2] yields a result from the meta-openwrt [3] layer. I would start with adding that layer and using the UCI recipe from there.
