Bug? Putting bridge to mesh disconnects 2 switches.

Just to note, may be a bug or may be not. 2 switches connected to bridge. Work fine, ping goes from switch A to switch B. Now we add bridge to mesh -- ping stops from switch A to switch B, but goes fine to other devices in mesh (f.ex from switch A to wlan0, from switch B to wlan0).

Re: Feature request: Scripting language improvement

At least, make the ability to parse any size of text files (by removing 4k limitation or reading by chunks).
Or make /tool fetch to output into array of lines.
Fix this bug.
Or if you don't want to fix any the above, make LUA available!

Re: What is WDS limitaiton with Wireless N

Thanks! One more question: can AP work at different speeds simultaneously? F.ex. at 54m with client and at 300m P-to-P. Or it is the same restriction: one radio module -- one tx speed?

mark-packet action can skip packets!

I test rule which catches torrent traffic (udp packets). When rule action is 'accept' everything is ok -- bytes counter is adequate to downloaded torrent. But when I change action to mark-packet -- rule byte counter is >90% lower than actual download. So, it skips >90% of packets!

Prioritize traffic going to different interfaces

For example, we have regular clients sitting on wlan1 and Bittorrent client sitting on eth2. They access Internet via eth1. Bittorrent download traffic should be given lowest priority. So, that Bittorrent download on eth2 will not hinder regular traffic on wlan1. Of course, we cannot prioritize it o...

Re: IPSec can't find static policy

bump

Though enabling static policy turns off access from home network (192.168.35.0/24). This means, that policy actually works. Only it can't be matched by connected IPSec client.

It is not chicken and egg problem, because dynamic policy works perfectly well when static policy is ON.
