[LEDE-DEV] Using stable wireless/kernel but trunk userspace/kernel

2017-04-04 Thread Daniel Dickinson
Hi all, I'm wondering if there is an easy way to use trunk userspace with the stable release's wireless (and if necessary the rest of the kernel). The reason I ask ask is that at this time my primary concern with doing dog-fooding with things I develop for LEDE is that I can end up with wireless

[LEDE-DEV] Fw: [openwrt/luci] BUG: DHCP Leases "infinite" time shows as "expired" not as "unlimited" in IPv4 (#963)

Hi Hans, In LuCI GitHub issue 963 (https://github.com/openwrt/luci/issues/963), a user discovered that LuCI incorrectly reports dnsmasq infinite leasetime as expired because the LuCI check is based on odhcpd's -1 for INFINITE_VALID, but dnsmasq uses 0 in the dhcp.leases file for infinite leases.
