Thanks a lo Pau,

I've gone through the steps and played with some options, but I seem to be doing something wrong. I created two new firmwares (in both changing LibreMesh.org for Zenzeleni in the SSID to make sure it worked, which it did):

1. Added the following at the end of lime-defaults
config wifi radio0
    list modes 'ieee80211s'
    option channel_5ghz '157'
 
config wifi radio1
    list modes 'ap'
    option channel_2ghz '1'

And it had no effect. Both radios appeared configured for AP and Mesh

2. Similar to the above but comments the following of lime-defaults
config lime wifi
#    option channel_2ghz '11'
#    option channel_5ghz '48'
    option htmode_5ghz 'HT40'
    option distance '1000'
#    list modes 'ap'
#    list modes 'apname'
#    list modes 'ieee80211s'

And I couldn't enter the router via WiFi anymore...

any suggestion?

Can you fork the repository network-profiles (to your github account or any other git server) and upload (push) the files you are using to create your community firmware? So I can reproduce it on my local setup and check what's going on.

How do you flash the routers? Do you use "sysupgrade -n"? or uncheck the option "keep settings" from the web interface?

Thanks again,

carlos

Hi Pau, thanks a lot! It does work that way and the 2 radios are up and configured automatically. However, the firmware does the same with both, i.e. create the APs and the mesh.

I could modify that by tweaking the /etc/config/wireless, but is there anyway that can be done from the "cooker"? I believe that requires creating a community. What are the steps to do that?
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libremesh/lime-packages/develop/packages/lime-system/files/etc/config/lime-defaults

Yes, the best is to create a community. You can use your own repository (and modify cooker's options.conf) or use the default one [1].

# clone the communities and list them
./cooker --communities

# create your own and the /etc/config directory
mkdir -p communities/YOUR_COM_NAME/mp02-awd/etc/config/

# Any file you put on communities/YOUR_COM_NAME/mp02-awd will be added to the resulting firmware.

# download the last default lime-config
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libremesh/lime-packages/develop/packages/lime-system/files/etc/config/lime-defaults -O communities/YOUR_COM_NAME/mp02-awd/etc/config/lime-defaults

# modify it to your own needs, here some tips about this file [2]
nano communities/YOUR_COM_NAME/mp02-awd/etc/config/lime-defaults

# And finally cook
./cooker ... --community=YOUR_COM_NAME/mp02-awd

Once you are happy with the result, you can send a pull request to the network-profiles git repository [1] (so others can also use your tweaks).

[1] https://github.com/libremesh/network-profiles
[2] http://libremesh.org/docs/en_config.html

Lastly, Elektra and Felix worked in tweaking the driver to allow to set the Coverage Class for the Ralink driver. Is there any way I can use in the cooker command their driver packages (that I have stored locally) instead of the ones in the repos? I guess it is just by replacing those within the binaries of the particular target, right?

If the kernel is the same, then yes. As last libremesh release is using LEDE 17.02.2, it should be the case. But better ask them.

Cheers.

Thanks in advance

I'll check this, maybe it is a bug.

Meanwhile you can use the system variable PKG

export PKG="kmod-rt2800-lib kmod-rt2800-usb kmod-rt2x00-lib kmod-rt2x00-usb"
./cooker -c ar71xx/generic --flavor=lime_default --profile=dragino2

Cheers.
