reghack was obsolted by OpenWrt r45252 #1

Open dangowrt opened 9 years ago

dangowrt commented 9 years ago

it should no longer be needed. Anyone?

emmdim commented 9 years ago

Wibed is still running r42454 i think. So we need to upgrade it before removing. Pau, do you think you can upgrade?

dangowrt commented 9 years ago

I tried putting the 4 wibed/battlemesh specific patches on top of todays OpenWrt trunk, removed all the regulatory hacking stuff which should no longer be needed (and if so, can be re-introduced part-by-part)

In branch wbmv8 is removed: https://github.com/battlemesh/wibed-packages/commit/5d50162688da1379120e90028a4d80f9ac2ec8c1#diff-73fe910fb7d551eee7554e161b5badabR3

Did that obscure bug making the choise of either DFS-FCC or DFS-ETSI affect transmit power on 2.4GHz affect us as well? https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2015-August/034829.html Apart from that, I reckon we can close this ticket...?

emmdim commented 9 years ago

Current wibed master branch is still on barrier breaker stable. Once Chaos Calmer is out and we update the firmware we can close this. Is that ok with you?

bittorf commented 9 years ago

also i want to point out, that reghack was never needed, because we dont need DFS channels and we reduce the power anyway - do you agree?

p4u commented 9 years ago

Yes in the WBM case, but others who use Wibed to deploy their testbeds may want to use DFS channels and high power. As far as Wibed is designed to be used for research purposes it should allow the maximum number of possible scenarios (IMO).

cheers

Even if we don't disable it, current version of reghack that is part of wibed-packages doesn't work with the latest OpenWRT trunk. When selected, reghack leaves the channels settings as they were by default.

we are using internally a patch, which patches mac80211/ath9k on compile time: https://github.com/bittorf/kalua/blob/master/openwrt-patches/reghack/900-regulatory-compliance_test.patch
