I followed your recommendations to install my

after several issues, I managed to do it. However, it has no wifi.
Any advice on how to troubleshoot it?
I ssh it through ethernet and see memory is ok (it is indeed an XM!),
wifi is enabled (etc/config/wireless shows option disabled 0), and the
lime-autogen file shows the same contents as a healthy nanostation M5 XW
that is working ok.
Hey Amuza!
Interesting that the wifi is not working... :/
Could you upload somewhere (any pastebin service will do) the output of
the lime-report command?
Maybe it is not present in your device as it was not included in the
really minimal install...
In this case, take the installable package from here (and install it
with opkg):
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-feed/tree/gh-pages/v2020.1
or just download the only lime-report file from here:
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/tree/master/packages/lime-report…
Hopefully this will help understanding what's happening there...
And also check running "opkg list-installed" if uhttpd is installed. It
should not be there, as all the LibreMesh-related packages depending on
it are deselected (lime-app, check-date-http and firstbootwizard).
In case it is, means that the ".config" file in your compilation
directory needs to be deleted and the "make menuconfig" issued again
selecting again the minimal packages set.
If this new 21.02 release stops supporting old
hardware I would be very
happy if Libremesh takes this into consideration in order to find a
solution compatible with a healthy planet. I don't want to throw away my
old routers and buy new ones!
Yesss, I also hope we can do that.
Reading the OpenWrt website it is unclear to me if they will not
distribute the binary images for the 4/32 routers or if they will
completely remove the profiles needed for compiling such images.
I think that the first option is the most likely, so that we will still
be able to compile LibreMesh images for those routers :)
Ciao!
