[Cerowrt-devel] cerowrt-3.10.32-12 released

[Sebastian Moeller]

Hi Dave,

wow, after enabling NDP-Proxy 'hybrid mode' (on sw10), for the first time, my macbook got working ipv6 through cerowrt. (My setup is a bit peculiar as the primary router gets a /56 from the ISP but only hands out /64s, don't ask me why). Now I need to understand why this does not work for SW00 or SE00, but these are peanuts now :)

	I did not notice this even though my primary router furnishes cerowrt with 192.168.2.104 (but no additional subnets in there), the internet works and I can reach machines in the primary subnet just fine, so nothing to see here ;) Greart work Dave and Toke.

	I seem to recall that there is a page in the openwrt wiki about how to enable that access, which is quite involved (for a layman), so having cerowrt solve this problem in a better fashion would be much appreciated.

	I guess having an easy way to set exceptions is really a good solution.

	Tried it, seems to work.

	With 3.10.32-9 I could het the usual TX hangs on both radio0 and radio1 by running RRUL against cerowrt (on a wndr3700v2), I did not manage to actually wedge either radio so I had to reboot though.

From (on the 5GHz radio):
bash-3.2$ date ; ./netperf-wrapper --ipv4 -l 300 -H gw.home.lan rrul -p all_scaled --disable-log -t noAQM_noLLA_16M2M_hms-beagle_2_nacktmulle

But that is not any different from earlier cerowrt versions...

	Ah, okay so now I will switch to the 2,4GHz radio to see whether I can wedge that…

best regards & many thanks
