hi!
I tried to build for a Litebeam M5 ubiquity and...
I used Librerouter source and our network profile
https://github.com/libremesh/network-profiles/tree/master/valsamoggia.ninux.org#generating-the-firmware-images
and looks working well. We are still in test and we not deployed on
production hardware for the moment.
Also because we would like use this feature:
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/pull/883
to have configuration based on mac.
So now we moved forward! yhuuu
Thanks! because we use the legacy libremesh and there the version of the
App was quite old. Now we are finding a lot of news in that side!!
Maybe we can add some doc here?
https://gitlab.com/librerouter/librerouteros/-/tree/v1.5#why-i-would-want-to-build-the-firmware-from-source
Maybe just expanding the point 5 in the paragraph below?
adding info on how apply network-profiles.. ?
