Hey al, maybe better than "Nothing to add" is just to add nothing :P
The compatibility between qmp and libremesh is based on:
1. Using the same VLAN tag for the bmx6 network
2. Use the same routing protocol which is bmx6
So once the two networks see each other, they will exchange routes and
you will be able to reach all nodes.
About "libremesh is fully working", I'm not saying the opposite. But you
need to set up several things manually (what you actually do with this
"just-one-click" might be also done from a raw OpenWRT and adding
instructions to install all needed packets), which is not what I
understand for a production firmware for building mesh networks.
The mesh network you manage is quite different that a citizens community
mesh network. You are installing and administration all nodes, however
in a citizen mesh network the users must install them and manage them.
To this end, if you want to allow non technical users to do so, you
should provide a set of tools to do it in a easy way. The internet
sharing is an example, but there is also a big need in automatizing
things and the web interface (user does not want and does not know how
to access throw ssh to the node and execute manual commands).
IMO, libre-mesh will be amazing because the basis architecture is just
amazing. However there is still a lot of work to do to have a production
ready firmware (for qMp we have been developing for almost 4 years and
now we are starting to have a stable-finished version).
Cheers.

Asunto: Re: [lime-dev] I have installed the firmware. Now what? =)
Hi.
I've been reading this thread in diagonal, so sorry if I repeat
something which has been said. My points are:
1. libiwinfo-lua must be included, we removed the full luci
dependency
some weeks ago to enable only the specific packets, this library was
missing. Thanks!
Nothing to say.
2. take into account that libre-mesh is in development, which means
there are many features not yet implemented. As you noticed, the
automatic Internet sharing is one.
Nothing to add.
3. if you want to deploy a production network consider using other
temporal solutions such as http://qmp.cat which will be compatible
with
libre-mesh. However, seems that you have quite good technical skills,
so
having your contributions in libre-mesh would be very useful.
For me Libre-mesh is fully working. That's it in our 11 nodes in Jardí Botànic.
It's best way when you need connection in outdoor. That's he needs.
You say that qmp.cat which will be compatible with Libre-mesh. What's the plan of
compatibility?
4. it is completely possible to use a single wifi device as adhoc+AP
Of course, he said to use the little MR3020 as adhoc+AP+client. And he said that success.
Great!
5. to share Internet connection check the bxm6 documentation (bmx6 -c
tunOut inet /n 0.0.0.0/0 && uci commit)
Nothing to add.

Gioacchino is right. I have supported it in Libre-mesh, but with
justoneclick (guifi.net style[1]), not just by default. Sorry. But
this is planned to be supported by default.

Great, so have no problem to work with MX6+BATMAN-adv setup :)

Ok, so if you can get a successful connection for yourself, you
can
announce the default route with bmx6. There's some ways, but I
think
is better that Gioacchino or anybody with more technical
experience
than me, say best way.
That's my /etc/config/lime (i.e. you can change "option
primary_dev"):
----
config lime 'network'
option primary_dev 'eth0'
list vlans '10'
list protos 'bmx6'
list protos 'batadv'
option ipv4_net '192.168.11.0/24'
option ipv6_net '2a00:1508:1:f820::/64'
config lime 'wireless'
option ssid 'garraflliure.guifi.net'
option mesh_bssid 'ca:fe:00:c0:ff:ee'
option mesh_mcast_rate_2ghz '24000'
option mesh_mcast_rate_5ghz '6000'
list mesh_channel_2ghz '11'
list mesh_channel_2ghz '1'
list mesh_channel_5ghz '36+'
----
In uci you have:
lime.network.primary_dev
(and other lime.network.*)
Hey, sorry, also take a look in uci to
bmx6.lm_eth_bmx6=dev
bmx6.lm_eth_bmx6.dev=...
network.wan=interface
network.wan.ifname=...
But wait another answer for a best way :)
When you success manually, we can take a look to think the module
:)
[1] http://ca.wiki.guifi.net/wiki/Unsolclic (sorry catalan only,
summary: list of commands (more or less "automatic generated") to
configure a device just copying & pasting in shell, in this case
(based on OpenWrt) is a list of uci commands).
