This is supported for hardware that comes with a built-in cellular modem. The required user +configuration for the APN and SIM-PIN can be performed in the Advanced Settings in Config Mode. + +To use this feature in config-mode, the ``web-cellular`` needs to be enabled in ``site.mk``. + +Interface Role UI +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Interface Roles can now be assigned from the Network page of the Advanced Settings +in Config Mode. This configuration is preserved on Gluon upgrades. + +WireGuard Key Translation +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This release adds a new mechanism for seamlessly translating existing fastd private keys on the nodes into +equivalent WireGuard keys. The corresponding public keys can be translated **separately** on the servers. +This mitigates the need to re-exchange public keys for communities when migrating to WireGuard-based VPN. + +See the :ref:`gluon-mesh-vpn-key-translate <gluon-mesh-vpn-key-translate>` section for details. + + +Bugfixes +-------- + +- Custom channel lists using a radios ``channels`` UCI option are now preserved on upgrade + in case ``gluon.wireless.preserve_channels`` is set. +- Custom HT modes for radios are now preserved when ``gluon.wireless.preserve_channels`` + is set. +- Broken mesh links between MediaTek 11ax and Qualcomm 11ac hardware are worked around. (`#2905 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2905>`_) +- Fixed a bug in the MediaTek MT7621 NAND driver that caused devices to end in a bootlooping state + after the initial installation. + + +Minor changes +------------- + +- Images built for the ``x86`` targets are now natively bootable on + EFI systems without CSM or BIOS support modes. + + +Known issues +------------ + +* The integration of the BATMAN_V routing algorithm is incomplete. + + - Mesh neighbors don't appear on the status page. (`#1726 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/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 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/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 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/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 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/496>`_) + + This may lead to issues in environments where a fixed MAC address is expected (like VMware when promiscuous mode is disallowed). -- GitLab
