“Was lange währt, wird endlich gut”, a German saying that actually fits the situation quite well. Anyways, I’m glad to announce that Piranha 3.0 100228 aka 100227r1 has been released. With OpenWrt trunk r19877, the OpenWrt development team introduced a major change to the existing automounting mechanism for block devices. As I accidentally missed that, Piranha 3.0 100228 needs to be pushed out as a bugfix release for 100227 in order to ensure a 100% working MMC card setup again .. and here it is!

You see, living on the bleeding edge also has its drawbacks (sometimes). That said, Piranha 3.0 100228 ships with:
- OpenWrt trunk r19886
- block-mount package by cshore
- AAP 2.0 100227

Here it is! Piranha 3.0 snapshot release 100227 aka 100217+1 is now available for your convenience. Built with Karmic, it’s based on OpenWrt trunk r19886 and ships with the brand new AAP 2.0 snapshot release 100227 aka 100217+1 introduced earlier today. The AAP documentation has been updated to cover the most recent AAP feature set and configuration.

With Piranha 3.0 & AAP 2.0 snapshot releases 100217+1 right around the corner, I’d like to provide some more insight into upcoming features of AAP. Certainly and most notable, the before mentioned capability to connect to hidden SSIDs utilizing /aap/aap_hlst will finally enter the stage.
Anything else?
Yes, starting with AAP 2.0 100217+1, a sorted list of suitable APs found in range (selected for connection attempts) will be easily accessible for your convenience and you’ll be able to manually skip the connection to an AP with a single command. Last but not least, while the MAC spoofing status message has been dropped, the AAP log has been streamlined in general to just provide the information (PID, time, status message) actually needed.
The complete AAP 2.0 command set will (from now on) read as follows
# aap {start|stop|restart|log|list|skip}

While the most important 90% for connection capabilities of AAP to hidden SSIDs had been implemented a long time ago (variable aap_hidden), I never took care of the missing 10%, but now I actually did. Starting with the next AAP 2.0 snapshot release 100217+1, AAP will finally be able to connect to hidden SSIDs. You’ll just need to define a tab-delimited BSSID, SSID pair per AP within /aap/aap_hlst, another newline-separated configuration file for AAP, and AAP will automagically take care of the rest. Certainly you’ll be able to combine this with the existing white-/blacklisting and MAC spoofing capabilities of AAP. I’ll update the AAP documentation as soon as Piranha 3.0 100217+1 will be out the door, the first Piranha actually shipping with this brand new AAP feature. Special thanks goes to community member foxtroop11 for the initial feature request.

Who the hell is Karmic? He/she/it (to be evaluated) is the successor of Arch, the new Buildserver of the Piranha Project. Starting with the next Piranha 3.0 snapshot release 100217+1, the Piranha firmware will be build with Ubuntu 9.10 instead of Archlinux, still a headless CLI only setup though. Actually this is a major change as Archlinux served as the Buildserver OS since the very beginning of the Piranha Project back in Oct 2008.
Other changes include:
- switch from Big to Midi Tower
- WOL capability (god bless you)
- RAM upgrade from 512 Megs to 1 Gig
- 6 Gigs harddisk for / and 2x 10 Gigs (LVM) for /home
Last but not least, some Easteregg hunting in remembrance of Arch. The first community member telling me where/how to find the following string within Piranha 3.0 100217 gets a pony!
