2013-05-31 - quagga downgrade to 0.99.17. Newer 0.99.18 has a
bug that does not remove MAXAGE DB entries properly
and thus keeps routes from being installed.
2013-05-05 - gpsd: remove GARMIN Drivers, they did cause a SEGV
during initialisation of gpsd
- added stty to busybox
2013-01-02 - Enable WPA options in Web-GUI for 80211_ath5k driver
2012-08-05 - pkg hamnet: bcast improvement
2012-06-27 - build ddns (dynamic DNS updater) as optional module
2012-05-28 *** Release: backfire_10.03.1_HAMNET-R2.0a
- "wext" support missing in hostapd, STA did not start.
- faster beacon cycle (100msec)
- new: regdomains,
X* regdomais do use passive scan (no active probe requests)
Y* regdomains still allow active probes.
Has been introduced to avoid STAs sending on other channels
than allowed when probing.
2012-05-12 *** Release: backfire_10.03.1_HAMNET-R2.0
2012-04-29 - added an "updates" folder to opkg config file. This allows
deploying updates to a released HAMNET build.
2012-04-15 - hamnet package: Link broadcast is limited to TTL=1
to avoid having it routed into "the Cloud" with some
setups (multiple subnets on same physical medium).
2012-04-14 - merging into OWRT backfire 10.03.1
Main benefits are a much newer 802.11 driver (more than 1 year
of improvememts) and an newer LuCI WEB GUI.
2012-04-08 - fixed erroneous start of multiple qosmon instances
- introduced additional delay during wifi startup sequence
before starting hostapd. This did fail sometimes.
2012-04-07 - Busybox Makefile did not work with newer make (3.82?)
versions. (DL7RAY)
2012-04-05 - fixed broken symlink from /bin/tar -> /usr/bin/tar
2012-04-03 - modified busybox to truncate file before remove
(jffs2 can reclaim space that has been truncate()d
but not files that have been unlink()ed. The latter requires
a clean unmount/mount of the jffs2 partition -> ALIX reboot)
2012-04-02 - Moved SNMP persistence directory from /usr/lib to /var/lib
to avoid eating up JFFS2 space with the snmp-exec-cache.
- resized rootfs partition to 256MB
2012-02-26 - *** Release: backfire_10.03_HAMNET-R1.2
2012-02-26 - AgentX SNMP PLugin for H4L related data.
2011-12-23 - added IPv6 iptables & kernel netfilter module
2011-11-27 - added ne2k_pci Eth driver (for qemu use)
2011-11-18 - WLAN Tuning helper (RX level): http:/admin/tune.php
2011-11-06 - enabled radvd (IPv6 Routing advertisement), build as module
2011-11-05 - enabled IPV6 options, rebuilt quagga with ospf6d enabled
To enable IPv6, edit /etc/sysctl.conf and remove the line
"net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1"
2011-10-09 - luci wifi config: HAM callsign to MAC is now configurable
in the WEB GUI
2011-06-06 - qosmon: truncate status file /tmp/qosmon.status.xxx
to eliminate trailing garbage characters.
2011-06-06 - *** Release: backfire_10.03_HAMNET-R1.1
2011-06-02 - SNMP does now provide link info for all installed
WLAN adapters (previously only wlan0)
2011-05-04 - remove "factory settings" from LuCI - too dangerous.
2011-04-21 - qos-scripts: added "qosmon" from gargoyle. qosmon
does adaptively adjust the upper bandwidth limit in
the QOS hfsc classes - this allows adaption to variable
bandwidth links (like WLAN with adaptive TX rates)
- luci-app-qos does support the new "dynamic QOS" options.
2011-04-20 - qos-scripts: fixed error in halfduplex processing
2011-04-19 - luci-app-qos: requires interface names
- adapted default QOS config
2011-04-08 - disable 'poweroff' and 'halt' commands - only allow reboot.
This should avoid accidental shutdown of the system...
2011-04-07 - better handling of setup if two WLAN NICs installed
2011-03-26 - included ethtool and bridge-utils packages
2011-02-06 - include kernel symbols - helpful in debugging kernel &
driver issues
2011-01-23 - fixed Network Interfaces page (no/wrong MACs, no traffic
counters shown)
- by default enable STP on bridged ETH ports
2011-01-16 - added call2mac.lua script (encode HAMradio callsign in
a MAC address) and adapted mac80211_ath5k to support it.
Uses the config option (interface) "callsign".
2011-01-12 - optimized kernel for Geode CPU
- support Geode hardware watchdog
2011-01-11 - enabled PACKAGE_ip, needed for IPIP tunnels
- save /etc/openvpn/ during sysupgrade
2011-01-03 - added entry to About LuCI with DG7GT & HB9XAR
- removed "rdate" section from System->System (we use ntpd)
- HAMNET WLAN settings: introduce drop-down lists for
some fields (ant-mode, channel-bw)
- fixed list of available channels (did use "iwlist" which
does cut of the list; using "iw info" now)
- the BUSYBOX_TAR is shaky with directories (a directory
without trailing slash ends up as symlink in the TAR archive,
potentially causing problems when extracting (e.g. during
a system upgrade, as seem by me). Switching to external
GNU tar to a void these things.
- include more details in list of active connections (such
as port numbers, conntrack state and conntrack timeout)
- cleanup in wireless driver detection (force mac80211_ath5k)
2011-01-02 - merged Luci patches from DG7GT
- keep BUSYBOX_HTTP and don't go for uhttpd (reason: keep PHP)
Newer (post OWRT 10.03 versions of uhttps seem to be able
to add interpreters to handle this.
- minor changes in sysupgrade handling (use the existing hook
mechanism for backup of config files)
- we use the luci-medium (lightweight expert-only)
- exclude sda* in Luci Mount Points (dangerous) and also
modified the example /etc/config/fstab file to point elsewhere
- disabled BUSYBOX_RDATE
2010-12-27 - *** first release: backfire_10.03_HAMNET-R1.0
Naming scheme is: _HAMNET_
2010-11-27 - adapted regulatory.bin (HB9 settings) on band edges
2010-11-19 - Better handling of SNMP requests in hamnet package
2010-09-01 - Modify default setting and disable IPv6 on all interfaces
- ALIX3d2 does work with the same image :-)
2010-08-29 - upgraded OWRT base to Backfire (10.03, r20742)
SVN revision: r20742
2010-08-19 - Long distance links with ACK enabled do work now. There
seems to be an offset (dependent on the channel bandwith/rate)
that must be compensated when fiddling with the T/O registers.
2010-08-02 - ability to disable L2 ACK mechanism (yes, this violates
802.11 and only works if all stations are Atheros & have
this feature enabled! Uses an debugging feature of Atheros)
2010-08-01 - EIFS timing depends on slottime - needs to be set as well
2010-07-31 - have my own hostapd setup script (timing related things there
as well: TXOP, AIFS timing in WME/WMM)
2010-07-26 - fixed parameter setting for long distance links (ath5k)
- mac80211_ath5k.sh: use 'echo -n' for sysctl
2010-06-30 - added gpsd and kismet as options (addon modules)
2010-03-09 - ath5k: allow 5MHz channel raster for 5GHz (IARU Reg1 freq's)
2010-03-08 - added XA regdomain without PWR / DFS limitation in IARU Reg1
5GHz band (5650 - 5850); rest of 2.4/5GHz is HB9 limited.
- /lib/iwfi/mac80211_ath5k.sh: set country before attempting
anyhing else. Required to get WLAN up on non-US domains
- fix for Oops on read /proc/sys/dev/phy0/info if the device
phy0 was unititialized (WLAN down)
2010-02-21 - added socat & inetd to core image
2010-01-05 - add ntp.conf to list of files saved during sysupgrade
- OpenWRT SVN revision: r18464
