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
Due to a firewall chain name changes in BB when a node was in NAT mode (instead of recommended direct mode) connections that went out over DTDLink as the first hop would not be masqed and as such would not work.
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.
Merging in latest release-3.15.1.0 changes into develop to provide a foundation with recent release fixes for the develop branch.
This should be 3.15.1.0b03 code.
Conflicts:
files/etc/crontabs/root
files/usr/local/bin/wscan
files/www/cgi-bin/sysinfo.json
We don't really need any files in there, and keeping the folder can interfere with the programs that populate /etc/aredn_include on firstboot from uci-default.
This will cause the node to boot up in default mode (with an AP on its interface on the default channels) during its first boot, and than very quickly reboot and come up under the mesh.
Not getting much debug information at moment, would like to put this in uci-defaults but with issues that I can't seem to log at moment (and not having serial cable for this device) I'm going with lets put it in /etc/init.d/local before nvram and similar gets set.
ref AREDN->ticket:115
Old code would set mac on the sub-vlan not the master interface which could cause issues.
Rework to be more functional in the future and to work correctly on vlan interfaces.
