Gluon 2020.2.2

Bugfixes

• Fixed unstable WiFi on some units of the TP-Link Archer C50 v4 (#2133)
• Fixed CVE-2020-27638 in fastd

Other changes

• Linux kernel has been updated to 4.14.209
• Backports of batman-adv bugfixes

Known issues

• Upgrading EdgeRouter-X from versions before v2020.1.x may lead to a soft-bricked state due to bad blocks on the NAND flash which the NAND driver before this release does not handle well. (#1937)

• The integration of the BATMAN_V routing algorithm is incomplete.

  • Mesh neighbors don't appear on the status page. (#1726) Many tools have the BATMAN_IV metric hardcoded, these need to be updated to account for the new throughput metric.
  • Throughput values are not correctly acquired for different interface types. (#1728) This affects virtual interface types like bridges and VXLAN.

• Default TX power on many Ubiquiti devices is too high, correct offsets are unknown (#94)

  Reducing the TX power in the Advanced Settings is recommended.

• In configurations not using VXLAN, the MAC address of the WAN interface is modified even when Mesh-on-WAN is disabled (#496)

  This may lead to issues in environments where a fixed MAC address is expected (like VMware when promiscuous mode is disallowed).
