No Wifi LEDs on CPe210 (at least)

carsifreifunk commented 6 years ago

Wifi LEDs bleiben aus, bei aktiviertem WLAN.

lt. https://lists.berlin.freifunk.net/pipermail/berlin/2018-January/036779.html wurde das gesehen mit "Hedy 1.0.0-rc1 ffb48ca" auf: TP-CPE210v1.1

Weird I've got Hedy 1.0.0-rc1 7f42122 default und w/o vpn running on two CPR210 V1.1 with fully functional leds.

Just reflashed my CPe210 with revision ab3754cb311c84fb99adc61ab583ec0198510ecc and also have no LED-activity. '/etc/config/system' looks similar

But 'ps w' showed the rssileds process and parameters with

/usr/sbin/rssileds wlan0 200000 1 tp-link:green:link1 1 100 0 13 ...

and I know per default there is no wlan0 interface in the firmware. I manually started the process with

/usr/sbin/rssileds wlan0-adhoc-2 200000 1 tp-link:green:link1 1 100 0 13 ....

and 3 of 4 LEDs came on.

I was not able to test if they change by signal-strength ...

SvenRoederer commented 6 years ago

that fits into the picture drawn by me. @bobster-galore if you rename the 802.11s-interface to something like "wlan0-mesh-2" I assume that you will also have no LEDs

It this is true, we need to check for the syntax of system.led_rssi[*].ifname, to act on our "wlan0-adhoc-2"

bobster-galore commented 6 years ago

The name for the mesh-interface was set by luci when I set the mesh up, how can I change that within luci?

SvenRoederer commented 6 years ago

@bobster-galore at least for AP-Mode I've seen this in the advanced options. Or check for something like ifname in uci->wireless

bobster-galore commented 6 years ago

Ok, overwrote in luci/wireless/advanced settings/interfacename with wlan0-mesh-2 -> lights went off except power and lan0 signalling traffic. no sign of renamed interface in '/etc/config/system'. Just checked kathleen 0.2.0

config rssid 'rssid_wlan0'
    option dev 'wlan0'
    option refresh '40000'
    option threshold '1'

urban legend was that these leds wont be on because as an ap it can't show signal strength. But as we see above there has never been an interface called wlan0, so no reason to shine.

After overwriting if-name again with wlan0 leds are on again. But what information do we get from 4 green leds?

SvenRoederer commented 6 years ago

The point in monitoring the rssi is, do the current LED-pattern reflect the received signal-level? Or other way around: is a low signal causing the LED-pattern to change?

bobster-galore commented 6 years ago

I switched off all other routers, i.e. no mesh partner. 4 bright leds - not such much change.

SvenRoederer commented 6 years ago

probably changing the values of

option minq '76' option maxq '100' option offset '-75' option factor '13'

will help?

On my node I changed a bit the "minq" values, let's wait till it's dark outside ...

bobster-galore commented 6 years ago

Seems to work at gluon https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/410 .

SvenRoederer commented 6 years ago

I was able to switch between all LEDs on and all LEDS of. Probably a bit of verbose printing what "rssiled" daemon is doing internally will help to fine tune the values.

The commit references in Gluon https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/commit/f5764a4a7b68f2eb56c9c5f2995a6277bf1b4aaa is just changing the device from "wlan0" to "mesh", which is the same I did ("wlan0-mesh-2" or "wlan0-adhoc-2")

SvenRoederer commented 6 years ago

We can change the rssi-device to "wlan0-adhoc-2" for Hedy-1.0.0 but as reported this will only cause the LEDs to stay on all the time. This seems the opposite option of the reported issue. And both states (all-on and all-off) present the same non-information. So I'll keep this open and postpone to a later release. This also gives that chance to combine a fix of this with the switch-over to 802.11s (and updated ifnames)

bobster-galore commented 5 years ago

To me it seems to be not mission critical, may we postpone it to a later milestone until some time is found to fix it?
