2015-05-15 After some messages to the Freifunk list, I learned that I actu- ally had received an IP address, but only IPv6. This is a techni- cal issue. For the IPv4 addresses, it is necessary to connect the node to the gateways. Hence, local offline test can only be done via IPv6. Now, the node (ffs-lonetopf01) is connected to the network ... and I provide open Internet for the public now! Great! To connect to the wireless Freifunk network, I needed to specify the channel explicitly. The reasons are unclear to me. However, I use: iwconfig eth1 essid Freifunk channel 1 key off open dhcpcd -L -t 120 eth1 http://marmaro.de/lue/ markus schnalke
