Hello, In some contexts (e.g. multi-ap) it can be needed to reconfigure some BSSes, without disconnecting clients connected to other BSSes on the same radio. This series adds two ways to do that: * The first one is when using a configuration file and using SIGHUP to reload it. In that case, a new config_id parameter can be used to decide whether to reload a BSS or not. If set (for example, to a hash of all the BSS parameters, as it's done in OpenWrt), only the BSSes that have a different config_id than in the previous configuration will be reloaded. This change is adapted from an existing patch authored by John Crispin in the OpenWrt repository ([1]). * The second one is when using the SET and RELOAD commands to reconfigure BSSes. For that case, a new RELOAD_BSS command is added to reload only the current BSS.
