* A scan, especially if we have to do both active and passive, essentially mutes
the radio to AREDN traffic for 10-20 seconds, which isn't good. If the radio is completely
deaf then it doesn't matter, but particularly on the 9K radios we do this when
things are looking a bit dodgy, though not deaf.
* Provide hook to reset ath9k from userspace. This hook is attributed to:
Linus Lüssing <ll@simonwunderlich.de>
* User /sys reset hooks rather than iw scan
* Make admin and user bar menus pluggable
* Realign header block to stop is moving around
* Remove ref
* Use modular nav to disable ineligable options during initial install
* Dont offer tunnel menus options when no tunnel daemon installed.
This is for low-memory devices
* Simplify
* Improve messaging when running ram image
* Disable rather than hide vpn menu items on tiny memory devices
* Move menu navs
* 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
