Support for OpenWrt 22.03 ​

We use this issue for keeping track of the updates: https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/issues/951

https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/pull/959 When I wrote that pull request, I thought that the new configuration format was due to the swconfig-DSA migration. But instead it is due to the OpenWrt 19.07 vs >19.07 versions, so I have to rewrite the pull request.

Proposing:

  • supporting only OpenWrt 22.03 in the lime-packages' "master" branch.
  • create a "target_OpenWrt_19.07" branch for the extended support to OpenWrt 19.07 and a tag with a minor release "2020.2" which can be considered as an updated version of the 2020.1 LibreMesh release "Expansive Emancipation".

HOW we will make available this to the users as builded firmware?

Other relevant issues for using OpenWrt 22.03 are: https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/pull/971 (Dnsmasq now can access only specific folders) https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/pull/950 (we were creating a file that now is provided by an OpenWrt package)

QoS,using TC (traffic control) ​

FROM Ilario by mailinglist: My (too complex) dream-solution would be to have an integrated solution with:

  • if you access the AP via a WPA interface, you access a VPN made with Tinc (or Wireguard) and have max priority access to the gateway you own in your house, and mid priority access to the other gateways
  • if you access the AP via an open interface, you get Pirania captive portal, if you have granted access, you have mid-priority access to all the gateways
  • instead, if you Pirania does not grant you the access, you have low priority access to all the gateways
