We have created custom firmware images based on OpenWRT attitude adjustment. The aim of this firmware is to simplify the installation of the required configuration to join our network (ex: by installing by default packages such as kmod-ipv6 and babel, and configuring IPv6 automatically).
Deprecated!
This page needs an update. We have adopted the Commotion firmware.

As of this writing, the firmware is built against Attitude Adjustment.

See this guide for how to compile or participate in the development of the Reseau libre OpenWRT-based firmware images.

It is in development and currently not the default recommended firmware.

The firmware is managed by Geneviève (tahini).
DEPRECATED: Package "base" vs "mesh"
- base: relates to the configuration of OpenWRT for reseaulibre specific's needs. Insures that all prerequisite packages are installed
- mesh: extra software and scripts specifically for the mesh functionality.

DEPRECATED: Extra packages
After flashing your device, if you need to install additional packages, you may need to modify your /etc/opkg.conf to use openwrt.org's package repository.
For example, for the ar71xx architecture, use:
