To overhaul the system to allow "0" would take a significant re-write of kernel code. At this time its best to pull channel '0' as it is not in any clear RF space (channel 1 overlaps it)
ref AREDN->ticket:114
Firewall rules don't get called because vtund is at /usr/sbin/vtund not /usr/bin/vtund
Also make the check if line posix compatible while we are chaning the path to be sure it works in the future too.
add nodename and tstamp to default filename to reduce chance of submitting wrong file
timestamp may not always be 'real' time if a node does not have ntp access
Remove the chmod step inside of setup.
Came across one time where this didn't trigger.
In addition this saves us from using additional storage space on the node as a +x creates a duplicate file.
When calling uci commit the file gets overwritten and as such the additional file lines are discarded because the active /etc/config/firewall is diffrent than the open file.
Use the uci commit further down in node setup.
All node type's except mesh have been deprecated.
In a future release we will remove them (and the associated code) to streamline the project.
It is recommended to use a dedicated purpose driven device for these modes in the future
wifi detect is called in /etc/init.d/boot before uci_apply_defaults is called.
Because of this if we don't have the data about the radio0path we need to remove the wifi config file first before calling wifi detect.
Needs to be in uci-defaults to be sure these data sets execute BEFORE the OS boots
We also need to get radio0 path because its mandatory for wifi to work.
Needed for sysupgrade from 3.0.2 to latest version.
Allows nodes to default to a common channel that is in the most common bandplan space for Part 97 usage.
Local cordination is still needed by users to make sure the channel matches the local deployment.
Defaults are as follows:
Band : Channel Freq : Bandwidth
900 : 912MHz : 5MHz
2400 : 1 2412MHz : 20MHz
3400 : 3420MHz : 5MHz
5800 : 149 5745MHz : 5MHz
2.4GHz keeps channel 1 at 20MHz because it is the standard deployment.
All other bands are still 'new' and no standard exist so we are creating one.
5MHz chosen because it better fits the emcomm goal. Smaller width should be stronger allowing for better networks.
Local networks can change as they see fit.
Remove setting RF channel on first boot in uci-defaults.
This should allow the node to use standard wifi channels when it boots allowing mesh setup to be run from a laptop or mobile device.
We will later move them to a real mesh channel during the mesh setup page.
Should also resolv issue where nodes were booting up on channel -2 and similar and wifi would refuse to start due to regdomain.
When a node is first setup (unconfigured) the rf channel or when user presses reset button the wifi channel and bandwidth will be set to mesh default even if it does not match the current RF channel.
