StarV3 v1.3.1 build 2567 has been released.

[tony]

The new release is available for download from files.star-os.com.

NOTE: There is a configuration error on the Atheros dialog that shifts the meaning of the checkbox groups up by one. The Enhanced ANI checkbox actually controls "Hide SSID", and the SuperA/G checkbox actually controls the "Enhanced ANI" option, etc.

There is a new release planned for early next week that will address this.

Changes since v1.3.0 build 2446
*) WP188A 4-port platform is now fully supported (XSCALE-WP188)
*) Added Atheros 802.11 full-duplex support (makes use of two cards).
*) Added a 'Fixed' checkbox that will allow the use of a fixed rate, rather than a max rate.
*) Added an 'Enhanced ANI' checkbox (client use only).
*) Much improved support for 802.11b clients.
*) Turbo mode should now work properly.
*) Cloaked clients will now scan all supported channels. Previously, they skipped turbo channels.
*) The Custom Scan list (Channel ACL) is now supported when operating as an Access Point.
*) 802.11H (DFS) now honors channel ACLs when switching to a new channel due to radar detection.
*) WPA/RSN now supports Compression with CCMP (AES) ciphers.
*) Atheros Radius ACL would disconnect all clients after 5 minutes, even if configured not to.
*) Static routes with Atheros APs in WPA mode are no longer cleared on activate.
*) Site Survey will now show essids with spaces.
*) Added a refresh button to the Site Survey, and other report based dialogs.
*) Fixed an issue where some clients would display odd rates in the association window.
*) Firewall and NAT are now processed before the network is brought up, as to avoid connections being established before NAT is in place.
*) SNMP memory leak in the 802.11 mib has been corrected.
*) starutil -a now activates the system changes properly, including DHCP.
*) TLS and Association List menu items no longer share a common hot key.

Problems found in this release include
*) Association window will still sometimes show odd rates.. Investigation is afoot.

NOTE: The X86-WRAP edition is fully compatible with the Geode-based RB220 & RB230.

Full Duplex setup example
To make use of a Full Duplex PtP connection, follow these simple steps:

• System A
  • wpci1:
    • FD Role: FD-TX
    • FD Grp#: 1
    • Network Type: Station
    • Essid: A
  • wpci2:
    • FD Role: FD-RX
    • FD Grp#: 1
    • Network Type: Access Point
    • Essid: B
• System B
  • wpci1:
    • FD Role: FD-RX
    • FD Grp#: 1
    • Network Type: Access Point
    • Essid: A
  • wpci2:
    • FD Role: FD-TX
    • FD Grp#: 1
    • Network Type: Station
    • Essid: B

After that is complete, add an IP to one of the Atheros interfaces (wpci1 or wpci2, doesn't matter), and you will now be able to ping between the two systems.

You can also secure your connection by enabling WPA or WEP, and using ACLs.

The Full Duplex device to monitor via SNMP, and configure via iptables is wfd0.
