I've just finished off version 2.5 of the lancastermesh firmware. There aren't that many functional changes, with most of the work being done on the backend. It is all now based on the latest openwrt kamikaze buildroot system which should allow even more hardware to be used.

Also, all the config files and scripts are now in their own lancastermesh package which should allow the ipkg file to be built and installed on a vanilla install of OpenWRT. This hasn't been tested yet, but if anyone wants to... ;)

All this means it is now easier to build your own system. Just download the latest kamikaze buildroot image and put the lancastermesh package directory into the packages directory in the build system. Then, in the make menuconfig, select lancastermesh and all dependencies should automatically be checked. The only other config setting is to enable $RANDOM in busybox.

The config settings for the actual mesh are still in the mesh.conf file which can be found in packages/lancastermesh/files/etc/mesh.conf
