Hello meshies
I know everybody is having fun at Battle Mesh, but if someone could take a
look at this I' d really appreciate.
I really have my eyes on the C50, as it seems to be the cheapest dual-band
on the market now. I can get on in Brazil for less than 40 USD! Last week I
bought one which I later found out to be an unsupported V2. But now I got a
V1, and it almost works. If it works, I'll the buy about 10 for an
installation in two weeks.
The problem seems to be with 802.11. The 2.4Ghz radio does not work in
ad-hoc mode - although the 5Ghz radio does. Then I don't know if it's
related, but when it meshes with a WDR3500, the Internet is painfully
slow, with some ping times about 1000-2000 milliseconds. Pinging from the
LiMe gateway at the same time gives me a steady 57ms. Perhaps a different
driver should be used?
Attached is a file with information gathered from the router.
A few other oddities (not as important as the issue above):
- Could not flash from stock directly with the compiled LiMe. I had to
first use this openwrt [1], then LiMe
- When I flash from the firmware above with the LiMe I compiled or the
download Lede, I get the message:
" It appears that you try to flash an image that does not fit into the
flash memory, please verify the image file!
Size: 7.63 MB (7.62 MB available)"
It works fine, tough.
- The firmware I cooked with my community settings (using cooker) won't go
through to the Internet, and gives this ESSID instead of my
community's:{{NETWORK_NAME}} (although it meshes with the LiMe gateway)
- The firmware I cooked without community settings connects to the Internet
through the LiMe gateway with the sluggish times above.
Thanks!

Hi!
Are there plans for branches of the lime feeds corresponding to the
upcoming openwrt-18.06 release? I reckon we should have that.
Also, it'd be great for chef.libremesh.org to already offer plain
OpenWrt 18.06-rc1 images as well as with lime-18.?? on top.
Cheers
Daniel
Hello,
I live in Toulouse
I am planning to drive to Spain & Barcelona first october week.
Is there a LibreMesh community members I could give a visit to?
I would like to see a practical Lime deployment to be able to teach
howto to our local free provider Tetaneutral.
Noone there is still using mesh but point to point connections.

I managed to get libremesh branch openwrt-18.06 running on an espressobin
https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/globalscale/globalscale_espressobin_v5_0_1
It uses the following switch (Marvell Topaz 88E6341). The espressobin
exposes 3 ports (2 for lan and 1 for wan)
http://wiki.espressobin.net/tiki-index.php?page=Topaz+Switch
Which has been supported using MDIO since 18.06
https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_admin_vlan?dataflt%5B0%5D=switch_%3DMarve…
But I'm struggling with the right /etc/config/lime for this specific switch

Hi!
We had heavy problems in IRC channels due to a large spam attacks
affecting several IRC networks.
I feel this is getting stable, I mean, I'm happy with the last change
I did (but perhaps you not and you want to discuss):
/mode #libremesh-dev +be $~a *!*(a)gateway/shell/matrix.org/*
This means that by default BANS users UNIDENTIFIED in Freenode EXCEPT
matrix users.
I documented it here:
