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.

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.
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.
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.
Config file is present upon initial start and in mesh mode.
Daemon still starts up in other modes but will not function w/o settings.
Firewall:
Permit access for UDP:161 (SNMPD) on WIFI and DTDLINK
Lan is permitted by default allow rules.
Makes the nodes advertise using DHCP Options 121 and 249 routes to the mesh (10.0.0.0/8) and the reserved (172.16.0.0/12) address ranges.
This change allows directing systems to prefer the mesh node for mesh ranges unless another network rule is more specific (such as a directly connected network)
This is mostly useful where a PC may have multiple network connections active as it improves the desire for the packets to travel via the mesh network.
Currently the:
10.0.0.0/8 range is used by mesh nodes and dtdlinking of mesh nodes.
172.27.0.0/16 is used for default LAN network on NAT nodes.
172.33.0.0/16 is for ad-hoc tunnels
All others in the advertised range are reserved for future network use.
Under Barrier Breaker sometimes OLSRD gets started before any interface is up causing OLSRD to shutdown because no interfaces exist.
Forces OLSRD to stay on and wait for the interfaces to come online.
Nodes sometimes show up as a mid1 entry when dtdlink and RF connected.
Sometimes the nodes will get the eth0 ip because wlan0 is not up yet.
Under Barrier Breaker the MainIP option is now supported as part of the uci system which allows us to restore using this setting.
We can now force the IP address that is claimed (wlan0) for the primary IP of the node.
Since a large number of the BBHNDev team has decided to create firmware fully independent of the BBHN Project the decision has been made to rebrand the firmware to differentiate from the origional BBHN work.
We would like to thank all those whom have worked on the BBHN firmware over the years and all those who continue to work on the firmware under AREDN(TM).
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.
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.
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.
tag: RequiresProtocolIncrement
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.

Due to the 10.x network no longer going out via wifi we now have a dedicated daemon for performing node identification out the wifi interface. The old fccid scripts are no longer used.
ref BBHN->ticket:28
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.
see BBHN->ticket:3
files/etc/hosts was deleted in b948d97/bbhn_ar71xx
Recovered and modified IP address for localnode.
dnsmasq needs /etc/hosts to be pre-populated with "localnode"
otherwise users have to type the ip address for first log in.
We populate this file via node-setup on mode changes.
fixes BBHN->ticket:10
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)
