It is possible for the system to run out of memory when dealing
with large file uploads and installs.
As part of the upgrade procedure shutdown services that are not
essential for node operations to allow more memory for install
to take place.
Includes changes to linkled to indicate this new state as it will
be shutdown as part of the cleanup process.
Memory gain (approximate)
dropbear 100kb
linkled 200kb
logd 200kb
odhcp 100kb
snmpd 500kb
xinetd 100kb
Total(approximate): 1200kb (around %4 on 32mb devices)
This is somewhat similar to files/usr/local/bin/upgrade_kill_prep
except that it kills only a select group of services
so that the system can handle the file upload while
upgrade_kill_prep does the final system cleanup to run the full
upgrade.

If a user tries to upload a file (especially firmware images) while
a tunnel is active the nodes run a high risk of running out of
available RAM.

User UI login uses http-basic authentication which is just base64 encoded
for transit but not encrypted.
This is a long standing error in documentation.

Trying to registry over-write the antenna setting has never been a good idea in the first place.
The hardware fully handles antenna selection without forcing it already.

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).
