[Cerowrt-devel] cerowrt-3.10.44-3 released

[Dave Taht]

3.10.44-2 was something of a disaster, so I recut it, and
have been using 3.10.44-3 as my main gw for an hour or so...

+ all homewrt stuff ripped out
+ huge resync with openwrt head
   among many other things this includes a lot of rework of the wifi drivers
   which may have some influence on bug 442
   update to iproute2
   many updates all across the board
+ sqm fixed to work with modern luci (thx Magnus Olsson!)
+ Rich Brown's cerowrt-scripts installed for the first time by default -
   bug: they need to have -4 or -6 specified for certain targets, and
two of the targets in circulation
   are not responding to netperf (try netperf-west.bufferbloat.net)

   It could use a gui for running the test and displaying the results...

- tested for all of 5 minutes
- it is possible to switch dns servers from odhcp to dnsmasq and vice
versa via changing maindhcp in /etc/config/dhcp (not tested)
+ conflict between avahi-daemon and mdns. mdns is now optional.

- the hnetd, mdns, and mdnsproxy work is still in progress, and these
daemons are built but not installed by default. And installing them
leads to major system instability, so don't do that unless you are
prepared to debug over a serial port and factory reflash.

I would generally discourage everyone from installing this as your
main router, but I know how effective that is. Certainly if you are
experiencing wifi hangs this is worth trying.

Good... how can I tell which version of which in?

Did you happen to see any netifd changes that might fix a problem I had on
the weekend with 10.36, whereby netifd basically would not setup bridges.
On a reboot, it might set up 1 bridge, but never two, and never would set
them up incrementally.

(I just want my a,b,g,n wifi bridged on the same subnet, but routed to the
rest of the world. I want a saparate bridge for for guest and secure.)

I bought 10x of the TTL/USB frobs from aliexpress, I hope to solder things
up, and find a pretty way to be able to close the case.

Hi Dave,

Sorry, seems we have a bad timing these days. I just merged gmp, nettle 
and dnssec-support into trunk and updated them to their latest versions 
respectively. There is now a third dnsmasq build-variant "dnsmasq-full" 
which includes DHCPv6, DNSSEC, Authoritative DNS and IPSET support. This 
is of course not part of OpenWrt's default image but should be available 
in the snapshot packages soon.

Furthermore on the homenet front: naming should now work again (at least 
it does on vanilla OpenWrt) and all the addressing / prefix stuff is 
configurable now. We also added a new package luci-app-hnet which allows 
to configure the global settings through the UI and also adds a nifty 
topology visualization for the network. I will continue trying to build 
it into cero without breaking your other stuff but seems everytime I 
tried to start with this something else was coming up. Sigh.

Anyway, will keep you updated.


Cheers,

Steven

Did that include the ntp sync dependency fix?

No timing fix yet since I mainly merged a patchset from openwrt-devel. I saw the discussion here on the list but did not see a definite solution. Whats your recommendation for now?

Cheers,

Steven

No worries. Until recently I dedicated weekends to cero, but of late
I've working
on other stuff (or :gasp: taking saturdays off). So I don't have a
"schedule" per se'
except from wanting to interoperate by ietf toronto, somehow.

There was some traffic on the dnsmasq-discuss list that indicated that
mini-gmp inside nettle was doable. In my case I have things like strongswan
(which needs full blow gimp) but the mini-gmp stuff looked promising in the
general case.

Also there is at least one bugfix in 2.72 head that should go back in 2.71.
(0 cache sizes crash dnsmasq)

I will build those. My own focus is mostly on fixing bug 442 once and for all.
(which also affects you guys, so...)

have you tried to get sqm running on homewrt?

I know the feeling!

I appreciate your efforts. My own take on things is that cero is
merely a complex
example of the kind of things you need to be able to have abstractions
for in order to have
general purpose software.

(a set of implementations always improves the specification)

Another use case that will crop up is someone using
vlans extensively. A third use case - one that I've been meaning to explore for
a while - is having 3g connectivity along with the isp connectivity.

I have a long list of dongles that supposedly work, but ENOTIME, although I
think I could make t-mobile work....

And 6lowpan or contiki would be nice too...

At least the latter two cases I'd hope someone here would be
interested in playing with that.

I am thinking perhaps I could try to get hnetd running on a beaglebone.
