Whit a huge mug of Tschunkand an imperial inspiration from the cccCamp2015. The 0.6 firmware is now stable and ready for release. 1. Change GLUON base from v2014.4.x up to v2015.1.x. Thats included the following main changes: Changes up to v2015.1.2 Added hardware support ar71xx-generic TP-Link TL-WA830RE (v1) TP-Link TL-WA801N/ND v1 TL-WA701N/ND (v2) TL-WA801N/ND (v1) TL-WA830RE (v2) TL-WR740N / TL-WR741ND (v5) TP-Link TL-WA830RE v2: remove BROKEN New features The x86-generic and x86-kvm_guest images now support two ethernet interfaces by default. If two interfaces exist during the first boot, eth0 will be used as LAN and eth1 as WAN. * Ubiquiti Loco M, Picostation M and Rocket M now get their own images (which are just copies of the Bullet M image)so it’s more obvious for users which image to use. * The x86-generic images now contain the e1000e ethernet driver by default. Bugfixes Fix German “Expert Mode” label (was “Export Mode”). Fix download of OpenSSL during build because of broken OpenSSL download servers. Fix ABI break causing kernel panics when trying to use network-related modules from the official OpenWrt repository (like kmod-pppoe). Fix race conditions breaking parallel build occasionally. A broken network configuration would be generated when an older Gluon version was updated to 2015.1 with mesh_on_lan enabled in site.conf. Minor announced/alfred JSON format fixes (don’t output empty lists where empty objects would be expected). * Fix another ABI incompatiblity with the upstream kernel modules which prevented loading some filesystem-related modules. * Fix potential MAC address conflicts on x86 target when using mesh-on-wan/lan. * Fix signal strength indicators on TP-LINK CPE210/510. * Fix the model name string on some NETGEAR WNDR3700v2. * Fix 5GHz WLAN switching channels and losing connectivity when other WLANs using the same channel are detected (including other Gluon nodes...); see https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/386. * Fix DNS resolution for mesh VPN on IPv6-only WAN; see https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/397. * gluon-mesh-batman-adv-15: update batman-adv to 2015.0 with additional bugfixes (fixes various minor bugs). * gluon-mesh-batman-adv-15: fix forwarding of fragmented frames over multiple links with different MTUs. Additional changes up to v2015.1.x Enable DIRECT_IO kernel config Fixes a kernel incompatiblity with the upstream OpenWrt modules regarding filesystem drivers (and probably other modules related to block devices). x86-generic: add kmod-e1000e network driver Always use eth0 address as primary address on x86 and brcm2708 These targets don't have a WLAN adapter by default, so it doesn't make sense to default to the phy0 address. gluon-mesh-batman-adv-core: adjust rssid config to renamed WLAN interfaces This should fix the signal strength indicators on the TP-Link CPE210/510. gluon-mesh-batman-adv-core: unconditionally set the WAN MAC address This fixes MAC address conflicts on devices which use the eth0 as primary address. 2. Add the package ffnw-banner for a ffnw specific shell banner. 3. Add the package opkgconf to change the openWRT repo urls. because of working global IPv6 4. Add and update the packages libwlocate and lwtrace for wifi triangulation. This works together with the geolocator in the package ffnw-node-info. libwlocate uses openWlanMap.org for triangulation 5. Add the package ffnw-node-info. This is the full cloned gluon-node-info package with additional changes. The main change is the so called geolocator that can be used to locate the position of the router via wifi triangulation and set the geolocation. The geolocator works actually only on VPNrouters, a new libwlocation libray is in manufacturing Add the package ffnw-config-mode-geo-location and ffnw-config-mode-contact-info. ffnw-config-mode-geo-location can now configure the geolocator to set automatically triangulated positions. ffnw-config-mode-contact-info cloned by gluon-config-mode-contact-info because of package-conflicts.The geolocator works actually only on VPNrouters, a new libwlocation libray is in manufacturing In case of that gluon-node-info and gluon-config-mode-geo-location and gluon-config-mode-contact-info will be dropped. 6. Remove Netmon geolocation synchronisation code from packages/configurator. 7. Change netmon ULA address to the domain netmon.ffnw. 8. Nodewatcher: add geo-location to node.data whit best regards Jan-Tarek Butt

Continuous Integration System

by Clemens John

Hi, kurze Info ausm Admin Team. Für die Entwicklung von Netmon SC haben wir mit Gitlab CI ein Continuous Integration System aufgesetzt. Dieses liegt unter: https://ci.nordwest.freifunk.net/ Es gibt auch bereits einen Runner-Server auf dem Projekte automatisiert ausgeführt werden können, dieser sollte allerdings nur für weniger rechenintensive Anwendungen genutzt werden. Falls sich damit jemand beschäftigen will um z.B. automatisiert Firmwares zu bauen, sollte ein Runner auf einem heimischen Gerät aufgesetzt werden. Dieser sollte sich Problemlos einbinden lassen. Technische Doku zu Runnern: https://wiki.nordwest.freifunk.net/Technik/Dokumentation/Gitlab#Runner_f.2B… LG Clemens

Batman-adv: no_rebroadcast

by Bjoern Franke

Hi, beim normalen Batman-adv-Modul auf unseren Servern fehlt die no_rebroadcast-Option[0]. In die Sourcen für Gluon ist sie eingepatcht, ebenso im batman-adv-legady-Repo, welches wir für die alte Batman-Adv -Version verwendeten. Leider hat es die Option noch nicht upstream geschafft, da der Patch von Ruben nicht gegen Master rebased war[1] Vorschlag: eigenes Debian-Repo bauen mit batman-adv-dkms-Modul. vg bjo [0]http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.freifunk.batman/10503 [1]https://lists.open-mesh.org/pipermail/b.a.t.m.a.n/2015-August/013498 .html -- xmpp bjo(a)schafweide.org

Pad Ausarbeitung Notfall-Übergangsnetz

by Clemens John

Hi, im Thread "Grundrauschen, Netsplit etc." haben wir festgestellt, dass wir für das Overhead Problem schnellstmöglich ein Übergangsnetz umsetzen müssen bevor wir nach einer nachhaltigen und langfristigen Lösung suchen. Damit mögliche Lösungen jeder nachvollziehen und verstehen kann, habe ich auch dafür wieder ein Pad angelegt um ein solches Netz zu konzipieren: https://pad.freifunk.net/p/ffnw-uebergangsnetz Bitte ergänzen und bisherige Ideen und Ergebnisse dort eintragen. Viele Grüße Clemens
