Hi Lazar, I am sure you guys are busy with the shipping and interruptions you had etc. I still wonder how you handle software support during this period? There seems to several issues out there that should be pretty straight forward to solve and not take much of your time but stops many people in doing their work. Have you guys consider being somewhat more open about what prevents you from just fixing these issues ASAP? I see that there are several images being built continuously but not any updates to the issues?

While I, hopefully, have your attention. Do you know the reason why Onion has elected to not build with POSIX Messaging Queues enabled (mqueue)? This is an essential part of messaging between threads and processes and is enabled in the Kernel by default by most Linux distros. It would only require to enable the flag CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE when building. This one flag is enabled by default but NOT enabled in Onion builds.

Enabling this feature would open up a lot of possible IPC features on your device.

Thanks,

Michael

Anyone heard of any updates to this issue? Seems like the onion people only now and then comments and then its all quiet for a long time or forever.

@Iker @WereCatf
Seems like we are having about the same config. Need to look into it more. What started the whole thing was that the official FW for Omega2(+) does not have it compile for including POSIX Messaging (mqueue) which I need for communication between my threads. But with LEDE I can get that, but so far no correct Wifi. Anyways, for now, I gave up on the mqueue and rewrote my apps to use mutex's and cond vars for synch and communication between threads (Client Server for Consumer/Producer notifications). So I am back using the official FW for it and stress testing it with 50 clients throwing messages at it randomly between 0-100ms inbetween for each client does not stress it much, so I am still happy with the implementation.

Thanks for all the help so far though from both of you! I may come back later and see if we can revisit this.

Thanks,

Michael

@Iker, @WereCatf Still having troubles though! I get the wifi up now. I can ping FROM the Onion (using the serial connection) to www.google.com. However, I cannot reach it form the outside. So I cannot ping it from the outside and when I start my server on it, it is not reachable. Same code as I ran on the official Onion Firmware and works.
The Ethernet devices looks a bit weird though, I get 192.168.0.9 and 192.168.0.21. And I get TWO wlan0 devices.

Maybe @WereCatf has some ideas, she seems to have a grasp on a lot of things with Onion! Do you see anything in the below:

@Iker Hey, not accusing you! Sites sometimes add things to your uploaded files without your knowledge. No Worries!

@Iker Yeap, the first download from that site is a virus! Be careful using that because I assume that is not your virus... Second time trying the download, it gave me the file. Not a secure place!

@Iker Thanks. The file is supposed to be 2.5kB but when downloading I get an executable (exe) and is 778kB. I never used that site for downloads but that smells like a virus...! Do you mind posting your actual content of the files here? If your config is that small, if you cat the files you shouldn't have much to post. Thanks!

@Iker , @WereCatf : Thanks for the answers! I added the details you suggested, and I got further. I can see the MAC address on my router of the Omega2 but it is not given an IPv4 address. When using the Firmware coming with the Omega 2, I get an IP address right away. The Omega seems to keep scanning but at least "wifi up" did not produce an error now.

WereCatf: So do I call the option device 'radio0' or 'wlan0'??
