@ritwickdsouza how far are we from achieving this?

@nemesisdesign WPA2 Enterprise and some advanced wireless features and modes like multiple ssids, wds mode are remaining. All other basic configurations can be generated.
Generating tar.gz file is also done. I will once have to test tar.gz files for more complex NetJSON Device Configurations.
Documentations needs to be updated after scripts can be generated.

Generate methods are ready right?

Work to introduce a basic customized schema for the backend so that all extra required attributes are present in the schema and enforced during validation.

This way we can proceed with a first release of the backend, we will have to write in the documentation page that this backend is experimental and so on.

The backend can generate Raspbian config files for various basic configurations. For more details have a look at http://netjsonconfig.openwisp.org/en/raspbian/backends/raspbian.html.

The backend can also generate tar.gz files to be installed on Raspbian
