Changes

  • AlpacaBridge 3.5.1 preinstalled from apt.openastro.net (first image release with AlpacaBridge baked in — includes the new WiFi module).
  • Concurrent hotspot + client WiFi: the hotspot now runs on a dedicated ap0 interface, so joining your own network from the AlpacaBridge WiFi card no longer takes down the hotspot. One radio, one channel: while connected as a client the hotspot follows the client network's channel.
  • Hotspot default moved to 2.4 GHz ch6 (was 5 GHz ch36) for range and brcmfmac AP+STA compatibility.

Hardware validation (2026-08-17)

Boot, apt policy alpacabridge = 3.5.1, hotspot up on ap0, portal on :6800, and client-network join with the hotspot staying up — verified on Raspberry Pi 3B+, 4, and 5.
