Adds support for Alfa AP121F USB powered travel router (looks like an USB ethernet adapter).
There is no factory image, but only a sysupgrade file for this router which can be installed using the inbuilt UBoot web interface.
Configure your PC with IP address 192.168.1.2 and connect the router using its RJ45 port. Hold the reset button while powering the device until all LEDs have flashed 3 times simultaneously. You can now access the fallback web interface using a web browser at http://192.168.1.1 and flash the sysupgrade file.
dnsmasq's caching is severly broken and does not handle all answer records
equally. In particular, its cached answers are missing DNSKEY and DS
records, breaking DNSSEC validation on clients.
Remove the cache for now. It may return if dnsmasq is fixed or we switch to
a different resolver.
At the moment, we don't have a good guideline for package-specific
configuration, but it seems like a good idea not to split configuration
into too many tiny pages, especially for packages that aren't commonly
selected explicitly.
Some uncommon configuration is dropped from the example site.conf to remove
clutter.
We must ensure that each node becomes IGMP/MLD querier for its local
clients; having only a single querier for the whole mesh is generally
unreliable, leading to frequent "IGMP/MLD querier appeared/disappeared"
messages from batman-adv and unreliable snooping.
In smaller meshes it might be interesting only segment querier domains, but
allow membership reports to pass through the mesh, in order to support
snooping switches outside the mesh without special configuration. A
site.conf switch is provided to control this behaviour.
Fixes#1320
This package drops all incoming router advertisements except for the
default router with the best metric according to B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced.
Note that advertisements originating from the node itself (for example
via gluon-radvd) are not affected.
To reduce the number of packages that need to be listed in
GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES, this adds a new variable GLUON_FEATURES. Sets of
packages are enabled automatically based on the combination of listed
feature flags.
Site-specified package feeds can provide their own feature flag
definitions.
The MR1750 and OM5P-AC devices are based on ath9k SoCs and an external
ath10k chip. All devices which are using ath10k should be marked as broken
due to deficits in their IBSS support.

The new MR1750v2 device support is only available in LEDE master. The
relevant patches have to backported to add support for them in Gluon

I only did some minimal testing of gluon on the carambola 2 development
board:
- Config mode works
- Connects to Wifi Mesh
- Allows clients to connect
Notably, autoupgrade has not yet been tested.
Change to 010-primary-mac is necessary as the mac address printed
on the sticker is the one of eth0, not the wifi mac.
OpenWRT now supports the CISCO Meraki enterprise class routers
MR12, MR16, MR62 and MR66. The fabric firmware demands the yearly
renewal of a support license.
This firmware was successfully tested by @Garunda for the MR62 (and
the MR12 with it for which this is an alias). The initial firmware
pre OpenWRT adoption was prepared and adapted for Gluon by @tcatm.
The confirmation of the functionality of the image for the MR66
(and the aliased MR16 with it) is still pending.
The devices are of strategic interest to the Freifunk community as
they are making a rock-solid impression. However, these come with
fairly hefty annual license. The Freifunk may offer an escape route
for those who had signed up and want to keep their investment into the
similarly expensive hardware. Used evices sell for $60 on eBay/Amazon
in the US. Here in the old world it is all >300 €, still.
Credits go to @Garunda for testing, to @tcatm for finding the
OpenWRT patch prior to its adoption and preparing the initial Gluon
adaptation, to @smoe for the update once that patch had arrived in
OpenWRT, and to @NeoRaider for his review and advice to use
GluonModelAlias for MR62 and MR66 to point to MR12 and MR16,
respectively.
The Hornet UB is sold at least in the varieties. Without case it is a Hornet UB, with case and without connected USB port it is called AP121. If the USB port is present this device is called AP121U.
We have a AP121U in our mesh http://meshviewer.chemnitz.freifunk.net/#!v:m;n:00c0ca6efffa
