Release 5.6.0

New Features

  • Linux SDN (bridge and router mode)

  • WiFi 7 - Puncturing

  • OpenSync BUS

  • Steer WiFi clients before disabling access point

  • OpenThread Border Router support

  • Report maximal number of access point per radio

  • Dynamic Hitless Topology Change

  • IPv6 Passthrough Support (IPv6+)

  • 5G monitoring

  • Multiple Captive Portal for different SSID's

  • MAP-T and MAP-E support

  • NAT Loopback / Hairpinning

  • FSM: Implement DPI client plugins to replace legacy parsers

Notable Fixes

  • Upgrade Dockerfile to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and fix python 3 packages (pip, requests and certifi).

  • Enhance logpull error handling when uploading to the cloud.

  • Noise floor information is missing for the DFS channels with QSDK 12.x.

  • The WAN interface is no brought back up after force LTE is set to false.

  • Improved L3 switchover to LTE (under 30s).

  • Added creation of TARGET_PATH_DISABLE_FATAL_STATE parent directory to pre-install build script.

  • WM2: Fixed possible inadvertent random WPS passphrases being handed out.

  • CM

    • Modified IPv6 fallback mechanism in case IPv6 available but not working. It will switch to IPv4.

    • Fix Cloudless router operation feature when using TARGET_CAP_GATEWAY kconfig option.

  • Remove hardcored iperf3 path when using it for speed test.

  • Fix UDP test results when using ipef3 within speed test module.

  • BM

    • Skipping 2.4GHz BSSIDs when adding BSSIDs to BTM retry neighbors.

    • Fix client steering to 5GHz when client is WiFi 6E or WiFi 7.

  • Fixed an highly unlikely out-of-bounds in OSN/NM in netlink event parsing.

  • FSM

    • Prevent access to freed memory.

    • Address crash with empty QName.

    • Increase the netlink buffer size to 6M and ignore IGMP plus MLD packets under nfqueue.

    • Fixing page blocking when SNI blocking happens before Type A blocking.

  • Do not set loop=true in case where WANO exhaust all current WANO plug-ins, howeverhas_L3=true is still set.

  • Various WiFi 7 320Mhz fixes for Broadcom platforms.

  • Fix interface statistics do not report abnormally high amount of bytes on ethernet interface when overflow occurs.

  • OWM

    • Fix SNR based steering by removing pre-association probe blocking.

    • Fixed a live-lock condition in OWM's confsync component that could end up with VIFs being perpetually re-configured without ever completing.

  • Made Secondary DNS field optional when configuring Static IPv4 via BLE.

  • Make OpenSync restart and stop more robust to handle cases like instability of ovsdb-server.

  • In case system time is not set then we set up Boot Time to 1 instead of Unix epoch time.

Notable Enhancements

  • OpenWRT 21.02 support and WiFi 6E

  • Obey feature flags also at OpenSync startup.

  • Modified the ASSERT macro so that it needs to be followed by a semicolon.

  • Ookla SpeedTest

    • Logging of all the available Ookla servers available will now be logged when running a SpeedTest.

    • Providing Ookla SpeedTest packet loss when is available.

    • Extended Ookla SpeedTest calling path by PATH_MAX value.

  • Improved backtrace formatting by more compact address on 32bit systems, added function offset, remove static from signal handler and cleanup.

  • Improvement for connection time of some IPv6 clients that give up sending RS too early before the port is added into LAN bridge (OVS bridge only).

  • WM2

    • Make DFS fallback_parent condition more robust by check all channels base on number/width.

    • Clearing ap_bridge field in Wifi_VIF_Config interfaces.

    • Add WDS QSDK11.x support.

  • FSM

    • Always re-compute the UDP checksum of IPv4 packets getting re-injected to the datapath.

    • Improve the identification of IP flows.

  • Improved OVSDB library to support multiple insert-with-parent operations within single OVSDB transaction.

Platform Support

  • OpenWRT is compatible with MediaTek chipset

  • Broadcom and Qualcomm

    • Update vendor template to use service providers instead of profile.

    • Set iptables rules for management network interfaces dynamically based on WANO interfaces kconfig.

    • Copy opensync_ca.pem to TARGET_PATH_CERTfor logpull support.

    • Broadcom

      • Removed OS_GATEWAY_BCM52, OS_EXTENDER_BCM52 and PLUME_HARDWARE since are deprecated.

      • Added OS_BCM94916REF2 WiFi 7 reference board to vendor template.

    • Qualcomm

      • Removed apstats from logpull (QSDK 5.x not supported anymore).

      • Enabled FCM for Alder reference board.

      • Enable auto bringup of radios on QSDK 11.4 reference boards.
