Added hardware support

ath79-generic

• Ubiquiti
  • UniFi Swiss Army Knife Ultra

ramips-mt7621

• D-Link
  • COVR-X1860 (A1)

Minor changes

• Nodes using a fastd VPN connection now report the negotiated method on the status page (#2465)

Bugfixes

• Fixed hostapd being unable to start an AP when selecting channel 116/120 with HT40 (#3165)
• Fixed occasional reboot issues on some TP-Link WDR3600 and WDR4300 devices (Upstream) (#2904)

Known issues

• Unstable wireless with certain MediaTek devices (#3154)

• 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 without 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).
