+## FAQ
+**Q:** What's about 'manual' and 'automatic' mode?  
+**A:** In "manual" mode travelmate will be triggered solely by procd interface down events, whenever an uplink disappears travelmate tries n times (default 3) to find a new uplink or reconnect to the old one. The 'automatic' mode keeps travelmate in an active state and checks every n seconds the connection status / the uplink availability regardless of procd event trigger.  
+
+**Q:** What happen with misconfigured uplinks, e.g. due to outdated wlan passwords?  
+**A:** Travelmate tries n times (default 3) to connect, then the respective uplink SSID will be marked / renamed to '_SSID_\_err'. In this case use the builtin wireless station manager to update your wireless credentials.  
+
+**Q:** Is travelmate compatible with CC/Openwrt?  
+**A:** Travelmate was never tested with an ancient CC/OpenWrt release ... it should still work, but no promises.
