I've been trying for days to get LibreMesh installed into an openwrt
system. I'm using Mikrotik devices, which I just got for this project.
I've been trying to build OpenWRT for a couple days. I finally got a bare
bones image of openwrt to build and boot.
Then, I tried to add LuCI as a package and things started going downhill.
Specifically, building LuCi requires uwsgi, which requires libpcre.
According to a thread I read:
"uwsgi has a dependency on libpcre, which was moved from the feeds to the
core packages a few days ago. (
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/commit/6f5412e6beb25d94cb30f088177900f2…

<https://github.com/openwrt/packages/commit/6f5412e6beb25d94cb30f088177900f2…>
)
If you are updating your feeds, but still maintaining a 19.07.3 base, it
probably won't work. It'll report that xxx has a dependency on libpcre and
cannot be found type error. I'm sure if it already isn't backported, it'll
be in the next milestone release.
If you are building from source, make sure you either pull or rebase from
the master branch, which should fix it."
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/cant-install-luci-ssl-nginx-missing-uwsgi-depen…
This is even getting to LibreMesh yet.
I'm trying to get master to build now, but not sure if it will work either.
Is there any other way to get LibreMesh going other than building my own
OpenWRT firmware?
Hello.
Yesterday I upgraded a Nanostation M5 XW and it worked ok.
Today I have here a Nanostation M5 that has a working LiMe 16.07. I am
trying to upgrade it to ExpansiveEmancipation, but I get an error:
root@nsm5:/tmp# ls -hal | grep .bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.8M Jun 12 19:08
openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_nanostation-m-squashfs-factory.bin
root@nsm5:/tmp#
root@nsm5:/tmp#
root@nsm5:/tmp# sysupgrade -n
openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_nanostation-m-squashfs-factory.bin
Invalid image type.
Image check 'platform_check_image' failed.

How should I troubleshoot it?
Thank you
Hi,
I have a dual band router. I want the 5GHz radio to do mesh and AP, and
I want the 2.4GHz to do only AP.
Do I only have to add the following to /etc/config/lime-node ?
config lime wifi
list modes 'ieee80211s_5ghz'
Hi,
I do not use LuCI. How can I remove it?
When doing make menuconfig, I browse the LuCI menu trying to delete
everything inside, but there are some libraries I cannot remove:
luci-lib-ip
luci-lib-jsonc
luci-lib-nixio
Hi,
0. When doing make menuconfig, I cannot find many of the models listed
as "Tested Hardware" at https://libremesh.org/docs/hardware/
How am I supposed to get the images for all those models?
1. On the other hand, when doing make menunconfig, are all the appearing
models eligible to run LibreMesh?

Greetings,
I've been looking for a mesh network for my home to ease the trouble with
flakey and various APs from different vendors. One issue I continually run
into when shopping for a mesh setup is that many of the commercial ones
want to replace your router, take over DHCP, etc.
With LibreMesh is it possible to continue using my own router? I have a
Cisco ASA that I am somewhat partial to and I don't want to stop using it.
I couldn't find anything (obvious) in the docs on how if this scenario was
possible.
Thanks,
Jason
