[Feature]: Report number of connected clients *without* using DHCP #14
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I set up my OpenWRT integrations (I have 4 Linksys E8450 devices with latest OpenWRT on) in HomeAssistant, none of them report connected clients (wired or wireless). I believe this is because you use the DHCP table to count the connected clients - but I have Adguard running on my network separately. None of my devices have dhcp enabled, so I think this is the issue.
Describe the solution you'd like
First of all - thank you so much for taking on this integration and putting the work in :) I was using the old ksj (?) repo and was having various issues with it. Finding your repo linked in one of the issues was a fantastic boost to my day :)
That old integration, however, did report the number of connected clients on the wireless radios, which I used on a chart in HASS. Your sensors always show zero for me (see above) so I think it might need some adjustment to find the connected clients another way (through UCI/UBUS). I can see that using DHCP tables is great for setting up the device trackers - but I would love to have the count come from the actual radio statistics instead. Is that possible?
