Concise monthly summary for 2025-10: In this period, the primary deliverable focused on reliability of WAN status indicators in namiltd/openwrt by fixing LED status alignment after the network interface rename. The bug fix aligns the LED setup script and board configuration with the renamed interface from eth1 to wan, ensuring accurate WAN status reporting and reducing user-facing confusion. The change is tied to commit 9b48cf6d94b121c7e7ef455757292f1ed5047d48, with upstream references to related fixes (Fixes: f26260c7e751) and links to the PR in the OpenWrt project. Impact includes more reliable WAN status visibility on Zyxel EX5601-T0 devices and a decrease in related support inquiries. This work demonstrates solid patch hygiene, cross-repo coordination, and an understanding of LED/board configuration on OpenWrt targets. Technologies/skills demonstrated include Linux network configuration, LED/board integration, git-based patching, and adherence to upstream conventions.
