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.
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 M2
AirGrid M5 HP
NanoBridge M5
Bullet M2 Titanium
Bullet M5 Titanium
PicoStation M2
NanoStation M5
NanoStation Loco M5

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.

Made adjustmetns to code that calls wifi_txpoweroffset() to ensure we minimize the number of calls that spawn a shell.
Also adjust the setting of $wifi_txpower to handle the fact that iwinfo returns the known offset.
NOTE: This patch requires a kernel upgrade to fully work.
Adds new value wifi_country.
Country HX is being chosen for HAM band use.
Country selection is needed to help the device stay withing regulatory domain for worldwide use.

The dtdlink interface is vlan 2 on eth0 and is used for linking two or more devices together.
This will allow for band-to-band repeaters, sector antenna setups, etc.
see BBHN->ticket:28
Includes band/channel mapping
Code to set default RF channel on first boot
Add many 5ghz Ubiquiti devices in a testing phase including:
NanoBeam M5 (Intl), NanoBridge M5, AirGrid M5 HP, AirGrid M5, NanoStation M5, NanoStation Loco M5, Bullet M5, Rocket M5

In order to maintain compatibility with existing deployed nodes, known common encrypted ports will NOT be blocked by default.
Users will receive a message during first setup encouraging them to review the rules that apply to how they intend to use their node and that laws very by country and frequency.
A package blockknownencrypted has been created in changeset:123a521df2b63ba1c5bdd6ad94ac402b86394579/bbhn_packages to be used in blocking known encrypted ports if the user feels it is necessary.
As developers we are not stating an opinion as to what the rules say or do not say in relationship to the traffic this deals with. Each user will need to make their own determination of the rules.
This has been the current case since day one.
New file fwinfo page shows if the package is installed AND displays the active firewall rules at the time of the access. This allows future grown to help test (because of the adhoc nature of the mesh) if packet filtering is the cause of a connection not working.

Button should only apply the change, not save it.
Save routine works fine already just need to remove the save commands from the apply box.
fixes BBHN->ticket:23
Based on testing airOS claims NSLM2's have a 2db amplifier it appears that they may actually have a 5db amp.
Since units keep reporting 3db lower than we expect them to we are increasing the txpower offset until we have confirmed power tests.
fixes BBHN->ticket:11, BBHN->ticket:22
Set default of using chains as more devices being presened rely on chains than those who don't.
Fixed the default antenna and chain support on NanoStataton M2 and NanoStation Loco M2
Added NanoStation Loco M2
board.sysid=0xe0a2
radio.1.txpower.max=23
radio.1.txpower.offset=2
radio.1.antennas=1
Chains are not 100% guranteed to be accurate.
Belive from http://community.ubnt.com/t5/airOS-Software-Configuration/chain-0-1/td-p/140354
that Chain0 is Vertical Chain1 Horizontal when mounted vertically
Chain Mask is pulled from the Rocket M mask as this is the only sample
we have in the database.

Refactor to create a central hash matrix that provides details on
devices.
The if else else else tree was going to get very messy based on
the realization that each device has custom attributes and the
need to provide diffrent settings for each unit.
Allows easier managment long term.
fixes BBHN->ticket:1
Units will show:
Yellow banner for devices we have not yet tested.
Red banner for devices we have confirmed do not work.
Relies on what Ubiquiti calls the board.sysid which is the
value of subsystem_device on the first PCI device.
Includes removing files that are provided by packages instead
of being embedded as binaries.
Changes made for UBNT hardware AND for newer base openwrt (Backfire)
