Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where Enterasys WS-AP3710i devices regularly boot with all-zero MAC-addresses in previous releases
• Detection of swconfig based switch architecture has been fixed (#3309)
• Fixed an issue where the AVM FRITZ!Box 4040 used an incorrect primary MAC address (Upstream)

Known issues

• Unstable wireless with certain MediaTek devices (#3154)

• The integration of the BATMAN_V routing algorithm is incomplete.

  • Mesh neighbors don't appear on the status page. (#1726) Many tools have the BATMAN_IV metric hardcoded, these need to be updated to account for the new throughput metric.
  • Throughput values are not correctly acquired for different interface types. (#1728) This affects virtual interface types like bridges and VXLAN.

• Default TX power on many Ubiquiti devices is too high, correct offsets are unknown (#94)

  Reducing the TX power in the Advanced Settings is recommended.

• In configurations without VXLAN, the MAC address of the WAN interface is modified even when Mesh-on-WAN is disabled (#496)

  This may lead to issues in environments where a fixed MAC address is expected (like VMware when promiscuous mode is disallowed).
