Summary

0016521: Webconfig does not recognise wls prefixed interfaces

Description

Please see https://www.clearos.com/clearfoundation/social/community/running-7-3-home,-wifi-interface-is-not-showing-up-under-ip-setting-or-dhcp# [^]

A wireless card was added to ClearOS and given the interface name wls2. This is not allowed as a valid interface in Webconfig. See /usr/clearos/apps/network/libraries/Iface.php around line 1363.

One solution is to change:
preg_match('/^wlan/', $this->iface)
to
preg_match('/^wl/', $this->iface)

This would also obsolete the line:
preg_match('/^wlp/', $this->iface)

Alternatively just add the line:
preg_match('/^wls/', $this->iface)

Steps To Reproduce

Difficult. You would need to find a wireless NIC/motherboard combination which would produce a wls* interface name.
