Now that the status page api has been rewritten in C CPU load and memory
usage is much lower. Also, nodes with both ibss and 11s mesh and dual
band wifi may require up to 9 connections for a single client, thus the
previous limit of 12 seemed a little low.
Convert option ifname in br-client to use a list instead. This
simplifies adding and remove interfaces:
uci:add_to_set("network", "client", "ifname", "eth0")
uci:remove_from_set("network", "client", "ifname", "eth0")
An option ifname will be automatically converted to a list when
performing an upgrade.
Packages affected: gluon-mesh-batman-adv-core, gluon-luci-portconfig
When rebooting the node in config mode, currently the fastd key is
forcefully displayed in a fixed format. This is confusing in communities
where fastd accepts all keys and no key submission is needed.
Furthermore, some communities might want to personalize the display of
the key (see #387).
This patch moves the displaying <div> from the package's lua file to the
translation files of the sample site configuration and mentiones the
change in the release notes.
Apart from replacing a patch for the former by two patches for latter,
this involved minimal adaptations of the lua scripts in the following
packages:
* gluon-announce
* gluon-announced
* gluon-mesh-batman-adv-core
* gluon-status-page
Split basic radio configuration from gluon-mesh-batman-adv as this will
be required for virtually any wireless mesh protocol.
This package takes care of setting:
- wireless channel,
- htmode and
- regulatory domain
gluon-mesh-batman-adv-core depends on this package.
This is a site.conf-breaking change in regard to the wireless config.
Make sure to read http://gluon.readthedocs.org/en/latest/user/site.html
and update your site.conf accordingly!
Support for 802.11s mesh interfaces has been added. Gluon now supports
three interface types: ap, ibss and mesh. All of them are now optional
and may be configured independently in site.conf.
A sample site.conf may look like this:
wifi24 = {
channel = 1,
htmode = 'HT40+',
ap = {
ssid = 'luebeck.freifunk.net',
},
ibss = {
ssid = '02:d1:11:37:fc:38',
bssid = '02:d1:11:37:fc:38',
mcast_rate = 12000,
},
mesh = {
id = 'ffhl-mesh',
mcast_rate = 12000,
},
},
The nodeinfo/network/addresses announcement included deprecated and
tentative addresses, which it clearly shouldn't as the host doesn't want
to be contacted on those addresses. They are now filtered out.
Always output empty objects or nothing at all where objects are expected, but
no elements exist.
Also remove a few unneeded "requires", a few basic modules are provided by
announce.lua by default.
By introducing a new option -a in addition to -p this patch allows
controlling the on-link flag of announcements.
A prefix specified using -a will have the on-link flag set to zero
while a prefix specified using -p will retain its behaviour (i.e.
on-link flag set).
Example:
gluon-radvd -i local-node -p 2001:db8:aaaa:/64 -a 2001:db8:bbbb::/64
This will announce 2001:db8:aaaa::/64 with the on-link flag set and
2001:db8:bbbb::/64 with the flag unset.
This adds mesh_on_lan functionality.
A new optional site.conf option, mesh_on_lan, has been added. If set to
'true', all LAN ports will be used for meshing instead of being part of
the client bridge.
This will introduce a new nodeinfo object, network.mesh.bat0.interfaces,
containing any of the the following subordinated objects:
- wireless
- tunnel
- other
Each of these objects contains a (possibly empty) list of MAC addresses
(lowercase, colon-notation) corresponding to a interface of the given
class. Combined with a batman graph it is thus possible to mark
sub-graphs as "wireless" or "vpn".
The previously used object mesh_intefaces is superseded by this new
object structure and mesh_interfaces will be removed in a future Gluon
release.
OpenWrt doesn't set the regdom unless a WLAN device is started. Explicitly set
the regdom in the setup mode to get the correct list of allowed txpower entries
in the planned LuCI module.
In Bremen it has been noted that a prefix may lead people to believe it
has to stay there and thus naming their nodes "ffhb-*", which is not
what the community wants (see FreifunkBremen/gluon-site-ffhb#1).
However, an empty prefix lead to the connecting hyphen still being
inserted. This commit thus makes the hyphen part of the configured
prefix and allows the prefix to be missing from the `site.conf`.
