there was an rc3 before 5.5.10 final :P

Do you even firmware alerts, bro?
Yeah, there were two RC versions published.

Wasn't it in beta? Someone said there were two RC.

It occurs to me an alternative model would be to redo Ubnt beta
testing. Buggy firmware is making it out of beta and I believe
more issues could be caught in Beta if Ubnt could help WISPs test.
Have staff that work specifically with partner wisps. Run advanced
diagnostics on our network, help us migrate devices to new
firmware (in the middle of the night during off hours), diagnose
problem devices, run performance metrics. We all have networks, we
just don't have resources to test your firmware for you.
I feel there are a lot of issues that Ubnt would catch en-vivo
this ways. For example, the ToughSwitch-pro fiasco, or the Edgemax
hardware acceleration reboots.
Whatever field testing you are doing its not enough. Help us out,
and you can more fields than you can imagine.

Ubnt now has a market cap of 3.04 Billion USD. You have the
resources, it seems test engineers should be finding these
problems, not me.
Same applies to ToughSwitch-Pro microburst performance
problems and EdgeMax Lite IP offload (that crashes all Edgemax
that touch vlans, even if VLAN acceleration is disabled).

The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The
ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail
in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the
same, only without the cat.

We are having serious problems with v5.5.10 with 5GHz XM
hardware and have decided this firmware is not production
ready. We using *v5.5.10 only for links that require
UNII-1* frequencies and avoiding in all other situations.
There is some sort of a bug with scanning for available
networks, so if your area has few networks, you might
observe different behavior.
http://community.ubnt.com/t5/Installation-Troubleshooting/v5-5-10-major-bug-no-SSIDs-in-scan-print-scanning-info-buffer/m-p/1072997#U1072997
*AirOS v5.5.10 is not production ready!*
Ubiquiti, it appears you have a major bug and need to
revoke the release, remove from website, until you get
this fixed.
We have now had 3 clients -- 2 Nanobridges and 1 Rocket M5
-- disconnect from their AP with the same behavior: NO
SSIDs appear in scan list. Downgrade to v5.5.8, no changes
to config, radio once against sees SSID and connects
perfectly.
*Workaround: Frequency Scan List*
I cannot fully confirm this, but it appears, v5.5.10 plus
frequency scan list has this problem less. It also might
be that this pares down the amount of data coming from the
atheros driver (by not scanning all frequencies), and scan
list doesn't actually fix the issue, just reduces the scan
data to something that doesn't break the radio.
*iwlist ath0 scan -- print_scanning_info: buffer too
large(65535) for realocating*
In our most recent incident, I was able to SSH into the
failed v5.5.10 STA
XM.v5.5.10# iwlist ath0 scan
print_scanning_info: buffer too large(65535) for realocating
XM.v5.5.10# wlanconfig ath0 list scan
ioctl[unknown???]: Argument list too long
wlanconfig: unable to get scan results
We are running now with a frequency scan list (cannot
downgrade this radio) and both iwlist and wlanconfig
commands are working properly.
More details:
APs: Problem happens with both Nanostation M5 APs and
PowerBridge-M5 APs
- Seen with AP on v5.5.10
- Seen with AP on v5.5.8
STAs: Problem observed with NB-22-M5 and Rocket-M5
DFS: Problem observed on both DFS and non-DFS frequencies
(5805)
Most recent incident, Rocket was working fine for a few
days, suddenly died. It rebooted in the process (only 2min
uptime when I got to it). Let sit 10min, rebooted, made no
difference, gave buffer too larger error no matter how
many reboots. Only enabling scan list patched it.
