July 2025 monthly summary for Telecominfraproject/wlan-ap: Delivered two critical improvements that enhance reliability and deployment scalability. Implemented a boot-time LAN/WAN port bridging fix to restore proper network segmentation by updating the device tree and ensuring the MDIO QCA module is included. Added squashfs support to the PKI enrollment flow for SonicFi RAP6 series, updating mount_certs and store_certs to correctly mount/copy/unmount squashfs and write certificates to the MTD device. These changes reduce deployment risk, improve field reliability, and support scalable provisioning pipelines.
