Today I have compiled and installed the last libre-mesh develop branch
with the last openwrt-trunk. Congratulations to everyone! It worked fine
almost out-of-the-box. The next points are my thoughts/questions
regarding the current state of lime:
1) The firewall problem is not yet fixed, so raw images which does not
include the firewall packet are not properly working.
2) Last OpenWRT/trunk does not have the iptables nat module
(CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-ipt-nat) by default enabled (WTF?), so it should be
added as dependency for lime-system. May be also related with the
default strip kernel/libraries options (which comes enabled).
3) Would be nice to write the current options (even if they are the
default ones) to /etc/config/lime once the lime-config script is
executed. So it should 1) use the options specified in the file 2) fill
the non-specified options. Then in the config file you got a picture of
the current whole system configuration, when you upgrade the node these
options are preserved and the node is configured in the same exact way
it was before.
4) Is there any way to specify: "do no configure (or ignore) this radio
device" to lime-config?
5) In my tests, when I try to set some parameters for a specific radio
device (i.e only radio1), lime-config crashes. My first thought is that
if there is a specific configuration for radioX, lime-config expect to
find all the needed parameters there. I think it should try to find
first the parameters in the specific configuration and afterwards (if
the parameter does not exist) look in the generic/default wifi
configuration section.
