Gluon 2017.1.5

Added hardware support

ar71xx-generic

  • TP-Link TL-WR1043N v5

ramips-mt7621

  • Ubiquiti EdgeRouter-X
  • Ubiquiti EdgeRouter-X SFP

Bugfixes

  • Fix build with empty site/modules (#1262)
  • Fix Ethernet stalls at high throughput on certain devices (#1101)
  • Update Tunneldigger to support connections with servers running newer kernel versions (9ed6ff752eb7)
  • Fix batman-adv Bridge Loop Avoidance (BLA) with gluon-ebtables-filter-multicast (#1198)

Known issues

  • Default TX power on many Ubiquiti devices is too high, correct offsets are unknown (#94)

    Reducing the TX power in the Advanced Settings is recommended.

  • The MAC address of the WAN interface is modified even when Mesh-on-WAN is disabled (#496)

    This may lead to issues in environments where a fixed MAC address is expected (like VMware when promiscuous mode is disallowed).

  • Inconsistent respondd API (#522)

    The current API is inconsistent and will be replaced eventually. The old API will still be supported for a while.

  • Sporadic segfaults of busybox (ash) when running shell scripts on ar71xx (#1157)

    The workaround added in Gluon v2017.1.1 has greatly reduced the frequency of segfaults, but it did not make them disappear completely.

  • Frequent reboots due to out-of-memory on weak hardware in larger meshes (#1243)
