Using the method suggested by Henning Rogge in 2014
{{{
1) remove file
2) wait 2 intervals
3) if file exists, go to 1)
4) restart olsr, then go to 1)
}}}
With the exception that we currently wait more than 2 intervals.
Even if the script hits a collision at the same time the file is being written the file will already exist from one of the previous writes or the current write.
Removing a file in use is safe as once the FD closes the file contents are fully released.
Additional Advantages:
* Should be more efficient to check if file exists instead of reading the file and comparing date stamps.
* Removing the Perl code moves us one step closer to retiring Perl in the future.
Removing the offset and increasing max power so we have full range avaliable to us.
This may not help us figure out the offset but will allow us a wider range of options.

Reported information and board information do not appear to line up, device will need further testing to verify actual details.
Max Power and Power Offset are of concern.

When a non mesh-gw node has a route via the WAN interface and through a mesh-gw it will choose the mesh-gw instead of the local WAN connection.and
We change the routing list to prefer the WAN link.
When the WAN is static configured the user will need to disable the WAN interface for the mesh internet to be chosen.
When the WAN is configured to dynamic the loss of a DHCP lease will allow the node to chose the remote mesh internet.
The simple solution would be to change the WAN to disabled and reboot to ensure a remote node is used instead if the local internet fails.
Thanks to Joe AE6XE and Clint AE5CA for pointing out this scenario.
By checking the "Keep Settings" box the node will run sysupgrade instead of mtd. Core settings are stored between installs and the _setup files are updated by pulling in missing items from the _setup.default files.
The olsrd watchdog module truncates and writes the latest timestamp every 5 seconds. The olsrd-watchdog script could catch the file during write causing an instant restart.
Changed to want 3 failures before restarting olsrd reducing the chance of collision based restarts.

Using a press of around 5 seconds (3-7) the node will reset the passord to BBHN default and enable dhcp on the lan interface.
A press of around 10 seconds (8-12) will cause the node to reset the node to 'just flashed' status and cause the node to reboot.
Unknown networks are not quoted like known networks are.
This caused a bug where the last network name may be incorrectly used in place of the words 'unknown'

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.

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.

Has been seen with yes, and echo y, etc. Loops do not return.
In order to allow packages that do not need interaction to install we have pulled out 'yes' for now.
Officaly now supporting (XM series only for all the below):
{{{
Rocket M5
Bullet M5
AirGrid M5
NanoBridge M2

AirGrid M5 HP

mid hostname entries are only created on remote nodes and are not created on the local node (by design of nameservice module)
In order to allow links on remote nodes olsr status screens and potentionaly other locations to resolve correctly we must add a hostname for the dtdlink interface into the name service beacons.
In addtion we need to ensure the UI looks at these links instead.
This feature will need to be looked at for long in the mesh status screen to find a better method to display these connections.
