Hi Alessandro!
To me, it seems very useful :D

Ah hem, sorry for the ignorance, can you give us an example of how the
end user would use such method? I never used such thing :P
Does this modify the configuration files? Can this be made permanent
over reboots?
If not, it would be useful if you could expand the documentation in the
lime-packages/lime-docs/www/docs/lime-example.txt file explaining how to
setup this in a permanent fashion.

Would this work also on any other node? For example, currently if there
is more than a working WAN, Babeld is going to decide which is the best
to use, I believe (babeld-auto-gw-mode activates or deactivates the
route according to the results of watchping, that checks if the internet
connectivity works there).

Yes, 100% useful.

Are you referring to this issue with lime-app?
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/issues/957
We should also check of the lime-app client-of-hotspot feature then
shares that connection with the rest of the mesh...
Your system would then share the connection with the whole mesh? Should
babeld-auto-gw-mode be updated to consider also this interface?

It sounds great to me :D
Thanks!
