There are quite a few things I'd like to try before declaring cerowrt stable. That said, I'm pretty happy with the last release, and can probably live without some long desired features in order to retire the last release. So +1 on the enthusiasm there...
I need to write down and publish here the 12+ or so fit and finish things that need to get done, and think on the bigger issues, which I'll do tomorrow afternoon. there are also some bigger bugs in the bug database worth reviewing by everyone... some folk should try the thc tools to stress out the ipv6 stuff and look at the unaligned instructions... we didn't get all of them that hit at boot... there was a crash reported by the iwl folk on a fragmentation thing... One performance test on my agenda was improving performance under wifi when multiple stations are active. (running rrul from two wifi stations through cero to a local server for example). With the current system, packet aggregation goes to hell rapidly, partially due to overbuffering, and partially due to per-station queueing not being done in the driver yet. I'd long thought that a short term partial fix for this would be to use a per destination hash on the fq_codel queues. But I'm unsure if code like this would work, and there are side effects from not doing better mixing on a per-sta basis (which we want to do in the driver at some point) that might cancel things out... however, if someone could make this work and test it, I'd love it.
