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
PKG_FILE_DEPENDS caused the whole site repo to be hashed to determine if
gluon-site needed rebuilding. While this is normally no problem,
alternative build setups sometimes put the Gluon repo inside the site repo,
causing long build times and parallel build failures.
in a layer 2 mesh network, multicast pings cause a lot of traffic in the
network, significantly increasing the 'backgroudn noise' (= Grundrauschen)
and stressing nodes in the network.
this commit blacklists all icmpv4 multicast traffic as well as multicast
icmpv6 echo-requests and node iformation queries. as no application
depending on these types of multicast traffic is known, blacklisting is safe.
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.
