Juliusz?
To somewhat answer my own question, when babel is used on a standalone "AP" interface, it is unable to automagically determine the channel it is on. So I guess whatever it uses can only figure out a adhoc interface? I imagine it would have grave difficulty on bridged devices.... (in my case I am anticipating having several p2p links over conventional AP wifi) The log fills with: Couldn't determine channel of interface wlan0: Invalid argument. Couldn't determine channel of interface wlan1: Invalid argument. For more info on my first build and test in many months, see: https://lists.bufferbloat.net/pipermail/cerowrt-devel/2015-June/004695.html Still, diversity more on by default strikes me as a goodness. Moving to manually configure now. ... Secondly, having babel logging *on* by default in the std openwrt build strikes me as a bad idea for reasons like this: http://science.slashdot.org/story/15/05/29/130211/crowdfunded-solar-powered-spacecraft-goes-silent Better for a user to expressly enable logging in openwrt if needed. -- Dave Täht worldwide bufferbloat report: http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/results/bufferbloat And: What will it take to vastly improve wifi for everyone? https://plus.google.com/u/0/explore/makewififast _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
