It is a old patch which is fixed to apply to the latest stable version. I talk to Simon yesterday, that it would be nice if the freifunker does not need to ship this patch in any installation, since we start to setup custom repos with this patch included and so on... Else all freifunk-firmwares include this patch, this should be stable. > It is even worse that the informative commit subject + message was > dropped.

Yes, I removed it, since the last patches I found on this mailinglist does not have this information-part. So I thought this is the given form for this mailinglist. (There is no information about that on the mailinglist site). > Btw. here is the original patch and the discussion > http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.freifunk.batman/10503 I know this patch and discussion, I've read it yesterday with Simon and he asked me to send our version of the patch to the mailinglist.
