ffho-autoupdater-wifi-fallback

If a node has no connection to the mesh, neither via wlan-mesh nor via mesh-vpn, it ist not possible to update this node via autoupdater. Therefor the wifi-fallback was developed. It checks hourly whether the node is part of a fully operative mesh or not. Else the node connects to a visible "Freifunknetz" and tries downloads an update as wlan-client via executing autoupdater -f.

Actually this needs iw connect patched into iw. See our patch within our site repository.

/etc/config/autoupdater-wifi-fallback

autoupdater-wifi-fallback.settings.enabled:

• 0 disables the fallback mode
• 1 enables the fallback mode

example

config autoupdater-wifi-fallback 'settings'
	option enabled '1'
