Luci doesn't show mesh_id in 802.11s

[bobster-galore]

It's possible to set up 802.11s in /etc/config/wireless, Latest Freifunk build Freifunk Berlin Hedy 1.0.0-olsrd0903-alpha 4d4151f r2993+442-b9a408c / LuCI lede-17.01 branch (git-17.152.82987-7f6fc16) worx, only Luci doesn*t show the mesh_id.

to the pull request from @kishangondaliya:

is it really needed to set an ESSID when monitor-mode is set?

please have a look to the mesh-communities (f.i. freifunk). they are also needed to set the parameter " option mesh_fwding '0'". would be nice to make it configurable via luci!

p.s. freifunk-berlin doenst list that value in corresponding git-issues and their town-specific patch-file-collections. maybe they forgot it to set.

p.p.s. the Name for that 11s-mesh as "802.11s" isnt nice (not in your pullrequest, but same luci-file). Better use "Mesh (11s)". The possibility for translation is also missing at this point.

changes for 11s are also needed for admin->network->wifi i have some 11s neighbors, but luci shows me a "not assocciätet".

@FreifunkUFO ,

• ESSID is optional parameter for monitor-mode, but yes, we can set that.

• For support of mesh parameters, I have list of changeable parameters which could be configured, as soon as I get to merge this changes I will add another pull request for those. I'm not getting any replies from core team ( @jow- @hnyman ) so pull request for mesh ID is still pending.

• Yes, totally agree on 802.11s, we need to give proper readability to this.

S.a. https://github.com/freifunk-berlin/firmware/commit/dd5f5aa690daba49da791b04cde982916b3f05e4#commitcomment-25259284 this patch makes 802.11s configurable in Luci and working.

[bobster-galore]

Ok, so far it is possible to configure 802.11s but Luci doesn't show 802.11s correctly in http://router.net/cgi-bin/luci/admin/network/wireless. It doesn't show correct status, it's deactivated or smthg. Is the status not determinable? Meshid isn't shown instead of ssid. May be the table-header can be changed to ssid / meshid in second column?

[kishangondaliya]

My PR https://github.com/openwrt/luci/pull/1363 is still not merged, don't know why they are not giving shit to it even if it is working fine based on your reports.

I will look for wireless status page about status of mesh and will submit PR soon.

[bobster-galore]

To give an idea what would be the desired configuration in /etc/config/wireless:

config wifi-iface
    option device 'radio0'
    option encryption 'none'
    option mode 'mesh'
    option mesh_id 'ffb-mesh'
    option network 'wireless1'
    option mesh_fwding '0'

in /etc/network it already writes:

config interface 'wireless1'
    option _orig_ifname 'radio0.network3'
    option _orig_bridge 'false'
    option proto 'static'
    option ipaddr '6.150.3.1/32'
    option netmask '255.255.255.0'

@bobster-galore i still cant see any apperance of parameter " option mesh_fwding '0'". (except your config example)

[kishangondaliya]

@FreifunkUFO none of the mesh params are integrated in LUCI yet. Only you can find is mesh_id which is merged into commit https://github.com/openwrt/luci/commit/267bf83db020295179fad88c6859e50e3406665a.

@bobster-galore can you please close this issue as PR for this is already merged.

@FreifunkUFO see https://github.com/openwrt/luci/pull/1513 for mesh-forwarding

[bobster-galore]

s.a. correct display Mesh (11s) https://github.com/openwrt/luci/issues/1512 configurable parameters for Mesh (11s) https://github.com/openwrt/luci/issues/1511
