Most doubles that are delivered via respondd have limited input
precision, but are converted with up to 17 digits of precision. That can
cause ugly blowups like 0.2800000000000001 in the output, which is
avoided by specifying better format strings (like "%.2f" in most cases).
Lua's tables are 1-based, so we must decrement the index by 1 to get the
desired MAC addresses. By not doing this, the second IBSS interface would
get the address with index 8, but only indices 0..7 are available.

There are a few devices which have more than one LAN interface (for example
some revision of the TL-WR941ND, which uses a DSA-based switch, so each
switch port has its own netdev.) On these devices we need a bridge for
mesh-on-lan (as the alternative of adding them to batman-adv individually
would need too many MAC addresses.)
While ath9k/ath10k devices can supprt VIFs with any combination of MAC addresses, there are also adapters which have a hardware MAC filter which only allows a few bits to differ. This commit changes the addresses of all VIFs to ony differ in the last 3 bits, which is required to support many Ralink/Mediatek based WLAN adapters.
Technically, the new addresses are generated by calculating an MD5 hash of the primary MAC address and using a part of this hash as a prefix for the MAC addresses.
The addresses (BSSIDs) of the AP VIFs are also reused for the LAN and WAN interfaces in mesh-on-LAN/WAN mode to reduce the number of needed addresses, and thus reduce the chance of collisions. This is not a problem as the MAC addresses of the AP VIFs are never used except as BSSID, and thus not seen by routing protocols like batman-adv.

[Matthias Schiffer: rewrote commit message]
We are mostly dealing with the 2.4GHz crap-band here, so increasing the
IGMP/MLD robustness parameter to three to be able to compensate for up
to two consecutive instead of just one lost packet.

There are some devices not acting properly to roaming events, in that
they do not timely reissue IGMP/MLD reports after reconnecting.
To compensate for that this commit reduces the query interval from 125
seconds to 20 and the query response interval from 20 seconds to 5.
This reduces a timeout to 20+5 seconds in the worst-case (12.5s average)
after a roaming event for such broken devices. This should be below the
30s "impatient user threshold" and below any connection timeout.
Until the bridge multicast snooping + querier gets re-enabled this is a
no-op.

An IGMP/MLD domain split will prevent us from being able to track
multicast listeners on other nodes.
Therefore we need to always hand any multicast packets we received from
local clients to batman-adv. With bridge multicast snooping disabled,
the current setting in Gluon, this is already the case.
However, in preparation to enabling multicast snooping, we need to
enforce forwarding towards batman-adv by setting the bridge port
option "multicast_router" to 2.

Ethernet links provide transitive connectivity in all but very unusual
setup, enable mesh_no_rebroadcast to reduce load for devices on links with
many nodes.
Fixes#652
Is makes sense to always look for both ibss_radio* and mesh_radio* sections
to determine if the meshing should be enabled when regenerating these
sections. Doing this, the disabled state will survive updates changing the
section name (either updating from pre-2015.2 while keeping IBSS, or
changing from IBSS to 11s or vice-versa).
If both ibss_radio* and mesh_radio* sections exist, the disabled state will
be kept correctly for each section, the behaviour is changed only when
creating a section that didn't exist before.
Fixes#549
gluon-radio-config contained only a single file. The code has been adjusted
to allow creating a Gluon configuration without WLAN support by removing
the wifi24 and wifi5 sections from site.conf.
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
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.
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.
