[Nightwing] Nightwing 0.6-beta2 release

[Julio Cesar Puigpinos]

The development group [0] of LUGRo-Mesh [1] announces that already
it's available the third release of the firmware Nightwing [2],
version 0.6-beta2 [3].

Nightwing allows the creation of Wireless Mesh Networks [4], with a
fast and easy deployment. Requires an Atheros wireless chip, and a
minimum of 4MB of flash memory and 16MB of RAM memory. It can be
instaled in devices from Ubiquiti like the NanoStation or the Bullet,
from Accton like the Fonera 2200, and many more devices that cover the
minimun requirements.

Some of the new characteristics introduced are:
*OpenDNS: Use of the filtering function that OpenDNS has, configuring
an specific account for the LUGRo-Mesh Network.
*nw_conf: Tool in text mode to configure the nodes. We can see the
current configuration and change values for the LUGRo-Mesh Network as
well as values for our own network.
*Reset Button: Pressing the reset button from 1 to 4 seconds the
device reboots. Pressing from 10 to 15 seconds it returns to factory
values and reboots, now being like newly flashed.
*DNS Private AP: The Private AP uses the DNSs from the internal LAN.

For more information about the changes, see the ChangeLog [5]:


The group has mailing lists for the Nightwing firmware [6] and for the
group it self [7].
