    Hi all, We were expecting to have already put out a solid SECN 2.0 beta release but have run into some interesting issues in compatibility between Mesh Potatoes running the madwifi driver and and TP-Link devices running ath5k wireless driver.

  • VT-SECN in Ubnt Rocket? April 10, 2013
    Good morning, checking the list of hardware from open-wrt the Ubnt Rocket is not in there, and so I guess it would not be possible to get VT-SECN running on it, is there any way this can be done? or just wait for the people from open-wrt to provide the source? thanks in advance, carlos
