Many devices previously built with ar71xx-generic and ar71xx-nand are now available with the ath79-generic as well as ath79-nand target respectively. Features ######## WireGuard ######### Gluon got WireGuard support. This allows offloading encrypted connections into kernel space, increasing performance by forwarding packets without the need for context switches between user and kernel space. In order to reuse existing (already verified) fastd-keypairs for WireGuard, a key derivation procedure is currently being developed [0]. This should ease migration from fastd to WireGuard in case whitelisting VPN keys is desired. fastd L2TP ########## fastd can now act as a connection broker for unencrypted L2TP-based tunneling within Gluons mesh-vpn framework. This new null@l2tp connection method allows for increased performance within existing fastd setups. In addition to a sufficiently configured fastd-based VPN server [1], this requires further modifications to a sites VPN fastd methods[2]. Major changes ############# OpenWrt ####### This release is based on the newest OpenWrt 22.03 release branch. It ships with Linux kernel 5.10 as well as wireless-backports 5.15. Network changes (DSA / Upgrade-Behavior) ######################################## The ramips-mt7621 and lantiq-xrx200 targets now use the upstream DSA subsystem instead of OpenWrt swconfig for managing ethernet switches. Gluon detects the existing user-intent and automatically applies it over to DSA syntax. See the section about network reconfiguration for more details. System reconfiguration ###################### The network and system-LED configurations are now re-generated after each update / invocation of gluon-reconfigure. The user-intent is preserved within Gluon’s implemented functionality (Wired-Mesh / Client access / WAN). As an additional feature, Gluon now supports assigning roles to interfaces. This behavior is explained here [3]. Site changes ############ VPN provider MTU ################ To account for multiple VPN methods available for a site, the MTU used for the VPN tunnel connection is now moved to the specific VPN provider configuration. For fastd this means that mesh_vpn.mtu needs to be moved to mesh_vpn.fastd.mtu [4]. Preconfigured Interfaces Roles ############################## Instead of mesh_on_wan and mesh_on_lan there is now an interfaces block to configure the default behavior of network interfaces. Details can be found in the documentation [5]. Minor changes ############# * The brcm2708-bcm2708 brcm2708-bcm2709 brcm2708-bcm2710 targets were renamed to bcm27xx-bcm2708 bcm27xx-bcm2709 and bcm27xx-bcm2710 * The GL.iNet GL-AR750S was moved to the ath79-nand subtarget *Gluon now ships the ath10k-ct firmware derivation for QCA9886 / QCA9888 / QCA9896 / QCA9898 / QCA9984 / QCA9994 / IPQ4018 / IPQ4028 / IPQ4019 / IPQ4029 radios [6] * WolfSSL instead of OpenSSL is now used when built with WPA3 support * The option to configure the wireless-channel independent from the site-selected channel was moved from gluon-core.wireless.preserve_channels to gluon.wireless.preserve_channels * gluon-info is a new command that provides information about the current node * GLUON_DEPRECATED is now set to 0 by default * To reboot a running gluon-node into setup-mode, Gluon now offers the gluon-enter-setup-mode command * Devices without WLAN do not show the private-wifi configuration anymore * The Autoupdater now uses the site default branch in case it is configured to use a non-existent / invalid branch Bugfixes ######## * Fixes security issues in WolfSSL [13]. People who have installed additional, non-Gluon packages which rely on WolfSSL’s TLS 1.3 implementation might be affected. Firmwares using either gluon-mesh-wireless-sae or gluon-wireless-encryption-wpa3 are unaffected by these issues, since only WPA-Enterprise relies on the affected TLS functionality. CVE-2022-38152 CVE-2022-39173 * Fixes the update path for GL-AR300M and NanoStation Loco M2/M5 (XW) devices. * Various build-errors which sporadically occur when building with a large thread-count have been fixed * Android devices do not lose their IPv6 connectivity after extended idle-time * The 802.11s mesh network is now using 802.11ax HE-modes when supported by hardware * Ipq40xx Wave2 devices temporarily use non-ct firmware again to work around 802.11s unicast package loss in ath10k-ct [7] * Modify kernel builds slightly to work around a boot hang on various devices based on the QCA9563 SoC - especially the Unifi AC-* devices [14] * Work around an issue with wifi setup timing by waiting a bit while device initialisation is ongoing [15] Known issues ############ * Upgrading EdgeRouter-X from versions before v2020.1.x may lead to a soft-bricked state due to bad blocks on the NAND flash which the NAND driver before this release does not handle well [8]. * The integration of the BATMAN_V routing algorithm is incomplete. ** Mesh neighbors don’t appear on the status page [9]. Many tools have the BATMAN_IV metric hardcoded, these need to be updated to account for the new throughput metric. **Throughput values are not correctly acquired for different interface types [10]. This affects virtual interface types like bridges and VXLAN. * Default TX power on many Ubiquiti devices is too high, correct offsets are unknown [11]. Reducing the TX power in the Advanced Settings is recommended. * In configurations without VXLAN, the MAC address of the WAN interface is modified even when Mesh-on-WAN is disabled [12]. This may lead to issues in environments where a fixed MAC address is expected (like VMware when promiscuous mode is disallowed). Missing devices ############### The following devices have not yet been integrated into Gluons ath79 targets. * 8Devices Carambola 2 * Aerohive HiveAP 121 * Allnet ALL0315 * Buffalo: WZR-HP-G300NH2 WZR-HP-G450H * GL.iNet 6408A v1 WNDRMAC WNDRMAC v2 * TP-Link WR2543 * Ubiquiti Rocket * WD: MyNet N600 MyNet N750 * ZyXEL: NB6616 NB6716 Folgende zusatzliche änderungen auf Gluon v2023.1.3 kommen dazu: ################################################################ * modules: update openwrt * modules: update packages * modules: update routing * ath79-generic: remove workaround Now that OpenWrt implements a proper fix for the stalled boots on 74kc boards, the previous workaround can be removed. * ath79-generic: fix WS-AP3705i autoupdater name (#2819) It appears that the autoupdater name wasn't correct and devices therefore don't receive updates. * ipq40xx: use ath10k-smallbuffers for ZyXEL WRE6606 (#2843) The WRE6066, has in contrast to other ip40xx devices, has only 128MB system RAM. This results in OOM situations and instability, to circumvent this we need to use ath10k-smallbuffers.

Many devices previously built with ar71xx-generic and ar71xx-nand are now available with the ath79-generic as well as ath79-nand target respectively. Features ######## WireGuard ######### Gluon got WireGuard support. This allows offloading encrypted connections into kernel space, increasing performance by forwarding packets without the need for context switches between user and kernel space. In order to reuse existing (already verified) fastd-keypairs for WireGuard, a key derivation procedure is currently being developed [0]. This should ease migration from fastd to WireGuard in case whitelisting VPN keys is desired. fastd L2TP ########## fastd can now act as a connection broker for unencrypted L2TP-based tunneling within Gluons mesh-vpn framework. This new null@l2tp connection method allows for increased performance within existing fastd setups. In addition to a sufficiently configured fastd-based VPN server [1], this requires further modifications to a sites VPN fastd methods[2]. Major changes ############# OpenWrt ####### This release is based on the newest OpenWrt 22.03 release branch. It ships with Linux kernel 5.10 as well as wireless-backports 5.15. Network changes (DSA / Upgrade-Behavior) ######################################## The ramips-mt7621 and lantiq-xrx200 targets now use the upstream DSA subsystem instead of OpenWrt swconfig for managing ethernet switches. Gluon detects the existing user-intent and automatically applies it over to DSA syntax. See the section about network reconfiguration for more details. System reconfiguration ###################### The network and system-LED configurations are now re-generated after each update / invocation of gluon-reconfigure. The user-intent is preserved within Gluon’s implemented functionality (Wired-Mesh / Client access / WAN). As an additional feature, Gluon now supports assigning roles to interfaces. This behavior is explained here [3]. Site changes ############ VPN provider MTU ################ To account for multiple VPN methods available for a site, the MTU used for the VPN tunnel connection is now moved to the specific VPN provider configuration. For fastd this means that mesh_vpn.mtu needs to be moved to mesh_vpn.fastd.mtu [4]. Preconfigured Interfaces Roles ############################## Instead of mesh_on_wan and mesh_on_lan there is now an interfaces block to configure the default behavior of network interfaces. Details can be found in the documentation [5]. Minor changes ############# * The brcm2708-bcm2708 brcm2708-bcm2709 brcm2708-bcm2710 targets were renamed to bcm27xx-bcm2708 bcm27xx-bcm2709 and bcm27xx-bcm2710 * The GL.iNet GL-AR750S was moved to the ath79-nand subtarget *Gluon now ships the ath10k-ct firmware derivation for QCA9886 / QCA9888 / QCA9896 / QCA9898 / QCA9984 / QCA9994 / IPQ4018 / IPQ4028 / IPQ4019 / IPQ4029 radios [6] * WolfSSL instead of OpenSSL is now used when built with WPA3 support * The option to configure the wireless-channel independent from the site-selected channel was moved from gluon-core.wireless.preserve_channels to gluon.wireless.preserve_channels * gluon-info is a new command that provides information about the current node * GLUON_DEPRECATED is now set to 0 by default * To reboot a running gluon-node into setup-mode, Gluon now offers the gluon-enter-setup-mode command * Devices without WLAN do not show the private-wifi configuration anymore * The Autoupdater now uses the site default branch in case it is configured to use a non-existent / invalid branch Bugfixes ######## * Fixes security issues in WolfSSL [13]. People who have installed additional, non-Gluon packages which rely on WolfSSL’s TLS 1.3 implementation might be affected. Firmwares using either gluon-mesh-wireless-sae or gluon-wireless-encryption-wpa3 are unaffected by these issues, since only WPA-Enterprise relies on the affected TLS functionality. CVE-2022-38152 CVE-2022-39173 * Fixes the update path for GL-AR300M and NanoStation Loco M2/M5 (XW) devices. * Various build-errors which sporadically occur when building with a large thread-count have been fixed * Android devices do not lose their IPv6 connectivity after extended idle-time * The 802.11s mesh network is now using 802.11ax HE-modes when supported by hardware * Ipq40xx Wave2 devices temporarily use non-ct firmware again to work around 802.11s unicast package loss in ath10k-ct [7] * Modify kernel builds slightly to work around a boot hang on various devices based on the QCA9563 SoC - especially the Unifi AC-* devices [14] * Work around an issue with wifi setup timing by waiting a bit while device initialisation is ongoing [15] Known issues ############ * Upgrading EdgeRouter-X from versions before v2020.1.x may lead to a soft-bricked state due to bad blocks on the NAND flash which the NAND driver before this release does not handle well [8]. * The integration of the BATMAN_V routing algorithm is incomplete. ** Mesh neighbors don’t appear on the status page [9]. Many tools have the BATMAN_IV metric hardcoded, these need to be updated to account for the new throughput metric. **Throughput values are not correctly acquired for different interface types [10]. This affects virtual interface types like bridges and VXLAN. * Default TX power on many Ubiquiti devices is too high, correct offsets are unknown [11]. Reducing the TX power in the Advanced Settings is recommended. * In configurations without VXLAN, the MAC address of the WAN interface is modified even when Mesh-on-WAN is disabled [12]. This may lead to issues in environments where a fixed MAC address is expected (like VMware when promiscuous mode is disallowed). Missing devices ############### The following devices have not yet been integrated into Gluons ath79 targets. * 8Devices Carambola 2 * Aerohive HiveAP 121 * Allnet ALL0315 * Buffalo: WZR-HP-G300NH2 WZR-HP-G450H * GL.iNet 6408A v1 * NETGEAR: WNDR4300 WNDRMAC WNDRMAC v2 * TP-Link WR2543 * Ubiquiti Rocket * WD: MyNet N600 MyNet N750 * ZyXEL: NB6616 NB6716 Folgende zusatzliche änderungen auf Gluon v2023.1.3 kommen dazu: ################################################################ * modules: update openwrt * modules: update packages * modules: update routing * ath79-generic: remove workaround Now that OpenWrt implements a proper fix for the stalled boots on 74kc boards, the previous workaround can be removed. * ath79-generic: fix WS-AP3705i autoupdater name (#2819) It appears that the autoupdater name wasn't correct and devices therefore don't receive updates. * ipq40xx: use ath10k-smallbuffers for ZyXEL WRE6606 (#2843) The WRE6066, has in contrast to other ip40xx devices, has only 128MB system RAM. This results in OOM situations and instability, to circumvent this we need to use ath10k-smallbuffers.

Fwd: [gluon] Gluon - Warning about serious regressions in releases
by Jan-Tarek Butt 19 Feb '23

19 Feb '23

FYI -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [gluon] Gluon - Warning about serious regressions in releases v2022.1 / v2022.1.1 / v2022.1.2 Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2023 02:06:57 +0100 From: Andreas Ziegler <ml(a)andreas-ziegler.de> To: gluon(a)luebeck.freifunk.net CC: firmware-devel(a)freifunk.net, wlanware(a)freifunk.net Hello, we want to warn you about some serious bugs in the Gluon releases v2022.1 / v2022.1.1 / v2022.1.2. These bugs affect a number of devices. We recommend not to upgrade the affected devices without having physical access until fixes are implemented. 1) Several devices in target ath79-generic don't boot anymore starting with Gluon release v2022.1.2, some never, some sporadic. (GitHub Issue: https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/2784) 2) The devices TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v4 and v5 don't have a working 802.11s wireless mesh after upgrading from Gluon releases <= 2021.1.x - a fresh setup works. Entering the Config Mode once resolves this. (GitHub Issue: https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/2779) 3) The devices in target ipq40xx suffer from losing 802.11s mesh connections after a while (GitHub Issue: https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/2692) Targets other than ipq40xx and ath79-generic are currently not known to be affected. We are sorry for the trouble and we will update you as soon as we have news. Since these regressions happened in a stable branch, we decided to provide a hotfix release 2022.1.3 [1]. Once hotfixes are merged (and tested), the corresponding issue will be removed from the milestone. When all issues are closed or removed from the milestone, the 2022.1.3 release will happen. If you know a bit or two about OpenWrt, feel free to support us. Both testing and debugging are appreciated. -- rotanid [1] https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/milestone/21

Fwd: [gluon] [ANNOUNCE] Gluon v2021.1.x End of life
by Jan-Tarek Butt 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

FYI -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [gluon] [ANNOUNCE] Gluon v2021.1.x End of life Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2022 00:20:23 +0100 From: Andreas Ziegler <ml(a)andreas-ziegler.de> To: gluon(a)luebeck.freifunk.net CC: firmware-devel(a)freifunk.net, wlanware(a)freifunk.net The Gluon framework's v2021.1.x branch has reached its end of life. You can find documentation about the release life cycle of the Gluon branches on the GitHub Wiki [1]. We have stopped maintaining this branch and will not create a release based on it anymore. Mentioned Gluon branch is based on the OpenWrt 19.07 branch which already reached its end of life in April 2022 [2]. Updating to the v2022.1.x release series is the recommended course of action, please take note of the corresponding release notes [3] [4]. The following is important information already provided with the v2020.2.x EOL announcement which is still relevant: If your current release is older than v2021.1, please read the release notes of all releases starting with v2020.1 carefully as some deprecated features have been removed. We also introduced ways to deal with these feature removals. Also note, that updates from before v2018.2 to v2021.1.x or newer are not supported. You really need to do an intermediate update to a release based on the v2020.2.x branch, if you're still on firmware based on a release older than v2018.2. Keep in mind that this also applies to devices that may not have been updated yet because of being offline or so. A solution may be to ship a new autoupdater-path with the v2020.2.x based release, so that older firmware releases will always do a two-step update. There are also communities using a new path for each major release to work around similar issues. -- rotanid [1] https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/wiki/Release-life-cycle [2] https://openwrt.org/releases/19.07/notes-19.07.10 [3] https://gluon.readthedocs.io/en/v2022.1.x/releases/v2022.1.html [4] https://gluon.readthedocs.io/en/v2022.1.x/releases/v2022.1.1.html
