olsrd-watchdog can trigger when the olsrd service is restarted
Such as when a tunnel comes up, or when a config change is
made to olsrd.
procd already monitors olsrd and makes sure it remains running.
With procd we no longer need olsrd-watchdog and can remove it.

After OTA upgrade the timezone was kept in the system file
but not in the UI so when a user would save the timezone
would be overwritten.

RFC requires that the DHCP server include the default gateway (0.0.0.0/0) route as part the Classless network list.
Moved to node-setup so it can be set dynamically at setup run time.
fixes AREDN->ticket:155
This changes the beacon rate from once every 100tu's to once every 500tu's
1tu=1024 microseconds
This will decrease the amount of RF time being used by beacon packets.
This is especially important on 900MHz and 2.4GHz using 5MHz wide channels where 10 nodes beaconing 10x a second at ~256kbit/s can use up around 45% of the RF channel in beacons alone.
Other bands and channels and widths are not expected to see as significant an advantage due to the faster data rates.
This adds support for 802.11n data rates on the mesh.
This should improve dataspeeds across the board
MIMO devices like Rocket and NanoStation should be able to use dual chains which allows diverse data transmission on each chain increasing throughput
MCS data rates in theory should cut through noise better than legacy modulation and have higher speeds on each step which should allow overall higher datarate between nodes.
Config file is present upon initial start and in mesh mode.
Daemon still starts up in other modes but will not function w/o settings.
Firewall:
Permit access for UDP:161 (SNMPD) on WIFI and DTDLINK
Lan is permitted by default allow rules.
Makes the nodes advertise using DHCP Options 121 and 249 routes to the mesh (10.0.0.0/8) and the reserved (172.16.0.0/12) address ranges.
This change allows directing systems to prefer the mesh node for mesh ranges unless another network rule is more specific (such as a directly connected network)
This is mostly useful where a PC may have multiple network connections active as it improves the desire for the packets to travel via the mesh network.
Currently the:
10.0.0.0/8 range is used by mesh nodes and dtdlinking of mesh nodes.
172.27.0.0/16 is used for default LAN network on NAT nodes.
172.33.0.0/16 is for ad-hoc tunnels
All others in the advertised range are reserved for future network use.
Under Barrier Breaker sometimes OLSRD gets started before any interface is up causing OLSRD to shutdown because no interfaces exist.
Forces OLSRD to stay on and wait for the interfaces to come online.
Nodes sometimes show up as a mid1 entry when dtdlink and RF connected.
Sometimes the nodes will get the eth0 ip because wlan0 is not up yet.
Under Barrier Breaker the MainIP option is now supported as part of the uci system which allows us to restore using this setting.
We can now force the IP address that is claimed (wlan0) for the primary IP of the node.
Since a large number of the BBHNDev team has decided to create firmware fully independent of the BBHN Project the decision has been made to rebrand the firmware to differentiate from the origional BBHN work.
We would like to thank all those whom have worked on the BBHN firmware over the years and all those who continue to work on the firmware under AREDN(TM).
Due to multiple issues that olsrd secure seems to make occur more often (but is not soley caused by OLSR Secure) causing olsr to crash olsr secure is being pulled while we work on the module.
This partialy reverts commit 553c126490.
tag: RequiresProtocolIncrement
Required for 900mhz devices to be supported due to band size.
This can also be useful for allowing more devices to fit into the same amount of RF space as nodes may often not need full 20mhz wide channels.
2.4ghz while using standard BBHN SSID is restricted to 20mhz for compatibility.

Due to the 10.x network no longer going out via wifi we now have a dedicated daemon for performing node identification out the wifi interface. The old fccid scripts are no longer used.
ref BBHN->ticket:28
NOTE: This patch requires a kernel upgrade to fully work.
Adds new value wifi_country.
Country HX is being chosen for HAM band use.
Country selection is needed to help the device stay withing regulatory domain for worldwide use.

The dtdlink interface is vlan 2 on eth0 and is used for linking two or more devices together.
This will allow for band-to-band repeaters, sector antenna setups, etc.
see BBHN->ticket:28
In order to maintain compatibility with existing deployed nodes, known common encrypted ports will NOT be blocked by default.
Users will receive a message during first setup encouraging them to review the rules that apply to how they intend to use their node and that laws very by country and frequency.
A package blockknownencrypted has been created in changeset:123a521df2b63ba1c5bdd6ad94ac402b86394579/bbhn_packages to be used in blocking known encrypted ports if the user feels it is necessary.
As developers we are not stating an opinion as to what the rules say or do not say in relationship to the traffic this deals with. Each user will need to make their own determination of the rules.
This has been the current case since day one.
New file fwinfo page shows if the package is installed AND displays the active firewall rules at the time of the access. This allows future grown to help test (because of the adhoc nature of the mesh) if packet filtering is the cause of a connection not working.
see BBHN->ticket:3
Includes removing files that are provided by packages instead
of being embedded as binaries.
Changes made for UBNT hardware AND for newer base openwrt (Backfire)
