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.
The file promotes the probably unnecessary re-execution of the announce
scripts. Instead, gluon-announced should be queried using
gluon-neighbour-info -d ::1 -p 1001 -t0 -r nodeinfo
if both gluon-announced and gluon-neighbour-info are present. But to not
depend on any of those, no script for this one-liner is provided.
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,
},
},
