Hiure started a new round of tests in a small testbed, he also found
some problems recently where not all network profiles are able to
compile the firmware (seems some depencencies issue)
Pony are using wpa_cli, a command line tool to switch APs and seems
its taking some time to reconect (roaming test)
Test about name resolution:
Hiure: problem with local server with offline ssl certificate, the
server was in one cloud (network) and then when he tried to access it
from another cloud (connected by cable) it’s wasn’t reachable (2
different meshs connected by cable)
Pony tested name resolution of routers in 2 clouds and it worked fine
Hiure mentioned about shared’state package for DNS local server
resolution but it wasn’t tested yet
