The IRC channels are asleep, so it's time for Plan Omega - ask LUV.

2,123 is a lot of commits to just eyeball, and I'm not sure how to deal
with the fact that e.g. r33965 isn't in the a_a branch.  Any insights
from a fresh perspective ?

To #openwrt:
| Anybody ever run across ARP not propagating to wifi devices across a
| wired/wifi bridge?
|
| I see it in 10.03.01rc4, but not in 12.09.01.  The problem is,
| $customer is using some hobbyist board that doesn't use stock openwrt,
| so I want to track down the fix so they can apply it to their fork.

To #svn:
| OK, so I'm in the... exciting position of trying to do a bisect across
| three repos - a fork of a fork - and I don't have the equipment to
| actually perform tests myself, and I'm a git weenie who doesn't know
| svn very well.
|
| I'm trying to work out a reasonable strategy to find the commit that
| fixed the bug, so I can tell the devs, and they can either merge that
| entire tree in, or cherry-pick that specific commit.

Symptoms present on Gateworks GW2347 as at              r11689 (in-house svn 
repo)
Symptoms present on TP-Link 1043ND   as at 10.03.1-rc4, r24045 
(svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/backfire)
Symptoms absent  on TP-Link 1043ND   as at 12.09.01,    r36088 
(svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/attitude_adjustment)

Allegedly in-house  repo is based off http://svn.gateworks.com/generic/trunk 
r402.
Allegedly gateworks repo is based off svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk 
r33965.

I *think* in both cases, the fork simply committed upstream-as-at-N as a
monolithic commit, rather than importing all the commits or using
externals or whatever.

Symptoms:

 - as a wired or wifi device, attempt to ping a wifi device.  ARP
   fails.  tcpdump on AP indicates in some cases ARP never hits the
   AP, in other cases it does but no reply is seen.

 - wifi devices associated with different APs can ARP each other.
 - wifi device can ARP a wired device.


                               *   *   *


I suppose the other things to do, while I wait for you lot, is to look
through the openwrt BTS for likely-looking closed tickets, and to find
the appropriate MLs on gmane to punt the question to.
