That is the mesh interface.

In the script /etc/init.d/nightwing

The block of ssh is done like this:
## Close ssh port except local lan and private iface
$IPTABLES -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j DROP
$IPTABLES -I INPUT -i $PRIVATE_AP_IFACE -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -I INPUT -i $LAN_IFACE -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

You could add a line like this, at the bottom (after the one for the
LAN interface):
$IPTABLES -I INPUT -i $MESH_IFACE -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

This has to be done for both the gateway and client modes.

Sorry, I didn't get this one :)

By WAN you mean the ethernet port from where you get the Internet connection?
If so, you want to access from the outside (internet?, private
interface? mesh interface?) to that port?

Excellent, keep us inform.
