The commit a080049735 ("gluon-status-page-mesh-batman-adv: Retrieve TQ of
neighbors with non-best direct link") removed the check whether a neighbor
has the BATADV_ATTR_FLAG_BEST set. But consumers may still want to filter
out or mark neighbors which don't have this flag set. To assist with such a
feature, enhance the neighbor object with an extra boolean "best" attribute
which stores whether the BATADV_ATTR_FLAG_BEST was found or not.

Links between two direct neighbors are not always the best route between
these devices. The flag BATADV_ATTR_FLAG_BEST would not be set for these
originator entries and the respondd module would just ignore this entry.
If these neighbors are not accepted and returned to the status page then
some of the neighbor entries will show a name, (acceptable) signal strength
and mac address but no TQ value.

Links between two direct neighbors are not always the best route between
these devices. The flag BATADV_ATTR_FLAG_BEST would not be set for these
originator entries and the respondd module would just ignore this entry.
This causes missing links in meshviewer and similar tools. And when the
link quality is nearly equal and but fluctuates slightly, these links will
from time to time appear and disappear on the map.

The device is broken until the next release. The LEDs are currently not
working (fixed in current OpenWRT master).
Also give a brief explanation about the BROKEN status being dependent on
the WiFi chip used and not the SoC family in general.
When two domains alias the same name (or one aliases another), display a
meaningful error message like:
Failed to alias domain 'foo' as 'bar', name already taken by
domain 'baz'.
The amount of local wifi clients is currently counted by two different
ways:
* asking the kernel wifi layer for the number of of clients on 2.4GHz and
5GHz band
* asking batman-adv for the number of non-timed out entries in the local
translation table with WiFi flag
The number of wifi24+wifi5 and the number of TT wifi client counts are
reported via respondd to various consumers. The ffrgb meshviewer is
displaying these values as:
* 2,4 GHz: wifi24
* 5 GHz: wifi5
* other: (TT local wifi+non-wifi clients) - (wifi24 + wifi5)
But the local translation table is holding entries much longer than the
wifi layer. It can therefore easily happen that a wifi client disappears in
the kernel wifi layer and batman-adv still has the entry stored in the
local TT.
The ffrgb meshviewer would then show this count in the category "other".
This often results in confusions because "other" is usually for ethernet
clients. And nodes with a frequently disappearing larger group of clients
(near bus stations or larger intersections) often show most clients under
the group "other" even when this devices doesn't have a LAN ethernet port.
It is better for presentation to calculate the number of total wifi clients
by summing up wifi24 + wifi5. And getting the number of total clients (non
wifi + wifi) by adding the result of the previous calculation to the sum of
non-wifi client in the local batman-adv translation table.

Gluon has multiple ways to obtain unique MAC-addresses. They are either
provided by the WiFi driver or derived from the primary MAC-address.
Quoting the same file:
> It's necessary that the first 45 bits of the MAC address don't
> vary on a single hardware interface, since some chips are using
> a hardware MAC filter. (e.g 'rt305x')
This currently fails in case the rt35xx based chips mac address differs
from the primary MAC. In this case, the MAC address for the client0 radio
(vif 1) comes from the WiFi driver. As there is only a single
MAC-address provided by '/sys/class/ieee80211/phyX/addresses' but the
MAC-address for mesh 0 (vif 2) is derived from the Node-ID, resulting in
different first 45 bits. The WiFi won't come up altogether in this case.
This commit verifies at least 4 MAC-Addresses are provided by the WiFi
driver. If this is not the case, all MAC-addresses are derived from the
primary MAC. This way, affected radios are working correctly.
This commit distributes dualband radios evenly on 2.4 GHz and 5GHz with
2.4 GHz being prioritised higher than 5 GHz. This means in case a device
has only a single radio and this radio supports operation in both bands,
it will be set to 2.4 GHz.

Allow odhcp6c to fork the script to handle router
advertisments in 30 seconds intervals. This is the value
that was previously used in Gluon v2018.1 / LEDE 17.01.
The default value is 3 seconds and while it is RFC compliant
it can put alot of pressure on even moderately sized devices.

log-file /dev/stderr is broken for babeld as it eats log messages for debug log.
This commit gets rid of the option. This allows -d N to be used as babeld command
line option.
This patch makes use of the new feature in l3roamd to gracefully
add, remove and list the mesh interfaces that are currently in use. This
helps when changing mesh interfaces often - a characteristic of the
wireguard protocol implementation as in the previous behavior all local
clients are dropped when adjusting mesh interfaces.
gluon-wan is a sudo-like exec wrapper that switches the process group to
gluon-mesh-vpn, making it use the WAN dnsmasq rather than resolving over
the mesh.
Note that this only affects DNS at the moment. Processes running under
gluon-wan will still use the regular mesh IPv6 routing table, and not the
WAN routing table. This is not a problem for IPv4, as there is only one
IPv4 routing table.
Fixes#1575
Rename to respondd.c / respondd.so, gluon.mk expects these names. This way
we can remove the install code. The installed filename is changed to
gluon-mesh-babel.so, bringing it in line with out common naming scheme.
The redirect and dnat target are needed for gluon-alt-esc-client to
forward frames to the selected, alternative gateways.

This adds support for the TP-Link TL-WR902Ac v1 travel router.
The device is marked as broken due to 64MB which might be insufficient

Before 7827f89, mandatory hostname field in config mode was

This commit adds the config_mode.hostname.prefill option for
