* Use LQM information to filter out neighbors we dont care about.
These can cause false rejoin events and degrade the network.
* Only use active station monitor with LQM info.
* Resolve unresponsive node problems with Mikrotik AC devices.
Mikrotik AC devices get into a state where they wont communicate with
non-AC devices .. sometimes. Leaving and rejoinging the network resets
everything. We monitor for this situation and rejoin the network when detected
to resolve the issue.
* Make reporting less chatty
* General station monitor service.
It turns out this station bug is not limited to the ath10k driver, so
make this monitor service wifi generic.
(I've now seen this at both ends of the Mikrotik AC <-> Rocket pair)
* New logs
* Just monitor for now
There appears to be a bug in the ath10k firmware for Mikrotik devices (maybe others)
where a station will associate but only broadcast traffic will be passed - unicast traffic
will fail. This code detects this situation and forces the device to reassociate which
fixes the problem.
When people are using the filters on the mesh page, they sometimes
hit RETURN. This submit the page (which is a form) causing the page
to reload, lossing the filter, and as a side effect, setting the page
to auto-refresh.
* Track validation state of hosts and services. Only remove a host/service if it fails multiple times in a row.
* Let new addresses/services be valid for a while regardless
* Initially unknown addresses will be valid for a while
* Reset validation state when services updated
* Fix the bandwidth reporting for ath10k devices
* Use 'iw' for all TxMbps reporting.
As we cannot account for error rates in the ath10k driver, to be consistent
we now use the same system to retrieve tx rates for both ath9k and ath10k.
* Remove unused rate tables
On small networks there are not a lot of OLSR name changes. While
dnsmasq watches for changes and updates itself, it will sometimes miss
them. On busy networks this doesnt matter as the next change will catch
it up. But on smaller network (esp. test networks) a missed change can
stop name resolution working for some time. So now, if no changes are
detected for > 60 seconds, we force dnsmasq to reload its tables.
For some reason, there was code in the driver to block the setting of
the coverage when a previous setting wasn't a particular value.
It's unclear what this was trying to achieve or prevent, but it stopped AC
devices operating efficiently (by a factor of 10x or more).
This cryptic bit of shell script adds a maximum timeout for the iperf client
to run as it appears it can get stuck occasionally. The server has a built-in
timeout (not available in client mode)
* Exclude neighbor's neighbors which are non-routable.
If a neighbor node's neighbor is non-routable, then no traffic will
flow from it, so it's not hidden
* Use routable flag for exposed node detection
* Enable RTS/CTS when we detect hidden nodes
* Only change rts setting when we need to
* RTS advanced config option
* Include neighbors blocked neighbors (they still transmit)
* Bump default RTS threashold
* Report list of hidden node rather than yes/no
* Canonical hostnames
* When we enable RTS, enable it for all traffic by default
* Show hidden neighbors in display
* Default RTS threshold to -1 (always off)
The connec timeout did not include DNS looksup, and if DNS is broken this can hang forever. Add
a maxmimum timeout so this call will eventually terminate regardless.
When a tunnel is idle, binding to the tun* device fails; so remove it.
As we have a direct tunnel route in the routing table (not OLSR table 30)
created by vtun, we will still correctly route the quality testing traffic.

When WAN connects via wifi to an AP, show SSID and SNR. Added workaround to intermittent bad value strength retuned from iw, when positive value. Assume absolute value is correct and add back a negative sign.
add larger of kernel MemAvailable or MemFree to Status page.
This will show a value to be at least the size of unused RAM and
can be larger if RAM can instantly be freed up to start a new process.
* add ntp update period to basic setup page
* ensure current value as selected
* include case where reverts to daily after upgrade
* persist ntp_period across upgrades
Feedback from Joe and others to adjust the noise floor (which is lower
for subchannels). Label with SNR because that's easier to compare to the
SNR values people are already familiar with.
Ignore invalid mac from arp table when building lookup table.
This avoids a problem where a mac can be in the table twice,
once valid and once invalid with an old ip address.
Limit distance between DtD nodes which are considered at the same site.
Some network setups use non-ham networks to connect nodes over DtD links.
These should not be consider the same site, so we limit how far appart DtDed
nodes can be when optimizing.
* Tidy LQM status
Remove TX Estimate which was duplicating information on the mesh page and
confusing folk.
Sort by name to stop the display jumping around.

* Remove .local.mesh from hostname (they're there sometimes)
* Identify why poor quality traffic is blocked
* Link Quality Management experiment (built in)
* Protect LQM pages
* Omit "empty" mac addresses
* Integrate LQM v0.2
Includes proposed UI if this were built-in.
When LQM is enabled (advanced settings) the usual distance inputs are
replaced with "min snr' and "max distance" inputs which are the major
ones you might tweak, as well as a link to the LQM status page.
Other controls are now available (so protected) in advanced settings.

* Dont print node description if we dont have one
* Remove properties duplicated from setup page
* Localize max distance. Miles in GB and US, Kilometers everywhere else.
* Ping link quality testing
* UDP 'ping' for quality check
* Change Active Settings title
* Expand ping test
* Improve messaging
* Add a ping penalty for neighbors which cannot be contacted in a timely manner.
* Remove user_blocks config option. No one needs to use this anymore.
* Localize distances on lqm page

* First run emergency node setup.
When a node first runs LQM, if the default settings fail to connect to
a node we will now adjust them so that at least one node is viable.
* Restore blocking of mac addresses
* LQM now off by default
fixed#47
Without active clients the server will fail to start. This is okay, except this
error code causes the package installer to incorrectly report an install problem
requiring an unnecessary reboot.
If wifi is disabled, we will be using a "fake" device for the meshrf. However, this requires that the
underlying physical device is attached, and this might not be the case on devices with present
multiple ethernets (e.g. eth0 and eth1). Detect this and add an extra Hna4 config to OLSR to allow it to
keep using the wifi_ip even when no physical ethernet is attached.
* Dont display previous neighbors with empty hostnames
* Use IP address when name missing
* Fix bug where missing names became ever growing string of whitespace
* Improve the firmware upgrade process
The old firmware upgrade process attempted to free up RAM by reusing
the 'upgrade_kill_prep' script which is later used by '/sbin/sysupgrade'.
Unfortuantely this doesn't work as intented. While the script will go about
killing various services, 'procd' just goes and starts them up again using
quite a bit more memory in the process. Instead this script just kills
the various daemons 'no questions asked' and then runs the associated
'/etc/init.d/xxx stop' script to instruct 'procd' not the start them up again.
This gets us to the place the original script was trying to go.
+ A syntax fix in '007' patch (need spaces around the [ .. ])

Change code to use the secondsToClock function in utils.lua
Update the alert banner background color to distinguish it from the

sticky note.
Aliases in NAT mode allows the node admin to create alias names for hosts on the LAN and then use those for creating port forwarding rules. The aliases DO NOT effect the rest of the mesh network and are not propagated via OLSR.
NAT Mode aliases are only usable on the local LAN where the IP addresses are known and routable only on the subnet. Since the NAT hides these IP addresses or the node masquerades, other mesh nodes and devices by definition only know about the node’s hostname. Thus aliases on the LAN in NAT mode are not propagated by OLSR across the mesh. You _CANNOT_ use an alias name in a service listing.
You _will_ be able to set an alternate hostname for any host on the nodes' LAN however.
A host named `CBY45-DELLLAPTOP` can also be known as `wxc-shack-laptop`. It may make remembering which host is which a bit easier.
Since OLSR does not propagate the alias, the "Do Not Propagate" checkbox while in NAT Mode is hidden.
* enhancement: show the "non propagated" hosts as a grey color in the mesh list on the localnode.
This allows for the node admin to see, at a glance, which of the hosts are "hidden" or not.
* changed colors a little bit for the black background styles.
also assed in the aliases so now they will show up as a different color too.
this only effects the mesh listing on the localnode to where the aliases and/or non propagated hosts are.
the rest of the network does not see this.
* add a tooltip to the aliased/non propagated hostnames to help explain what they mean
Allows for aliased hostnames on the mesh. One IP/Host can be assigned to multiple hostnames.
This is useful for many things including virtual hosts, virtual machines, virtual email addresses, etc.
The possibilities are actually _endless_.
Fixes#516
Allows for the node admin to choose to have DHCP leased hostnames/IP's propagated over the rest of the mesh network or not.
Defaults to allowing the hostname/IP to propagate.
The hostname/IP will *still* be resolvable from the localnode and will show up in the list of hosts on the localnode only.
This allows for selected local mesh devices to be not available over the rest of the mesh network.
ie: switches, routers, cameras, etc.
This will work immediately for *new* DHCP leases when the checkbox is selected.
For *existing* DHCP leases, it may take a while for the network to update, if ever.
To speed up the process of full network OLSR "DNS" updating, reboot all the nearest neighbor device(s) to the node you made these changes to.
That seems to get the changes "out" to the rest of the network faster than normal.
Fixes#508
Change the Advanced Configuration warning banner: slightly wider to
distinguish from Alerts banner, add WARNING and make text color pure
white for contrast.
In the US, part 97 ham radio lower band edge is 5650.
Channel 131 @ 10MHz channel width is the lowest channel
setting that stays within allocation.
fixes#550
in the past nodes could be configured uniquely for
a given mode: ap, wifi client, mesh. Current behavior
in basic setup no longer has unique modes, rather wireless
cards can be configured in different modes in basic setup
and devices with multiple wireless interfaces can
be setup to use multiple modes at the same time.
fixes#533fixes#535
This reduces message forwarding by OLSR. Without this mode
olsr will forward a message backout the same interface it
was received on, presumably due to hidden 802.11n nodes.
