This patch will add fix to allow DHCP broadcast packets, so that AP can forward DHCP broadcast offer to clients Cause: In the bridge source code, there is a mechanism to drop all the broadcast packets if the proxy arp is enabled, because of this dhcp clients which set broadcast flag to 1 while connecting toAP's interfaces are not able get an ip address hence they are not connecting Solution: Added the code to the bridge source code so that before dropping broadcast packets it first checks, whether it is dhcp broadcast packet or not. So that it won't drop dhcp braodcast packets.Hence DORA process will succeed and clients which sets broadcast flag to 1 gets an ip address even though the proxy arp is enabled.

Setting up your build machine
Requires a recent linux installation. Older systems without python 3.7 will have trouble. See this link for details: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/quickstart-build-images
Install build packages: sudo apt install build-essential libncurses5-dev gawk git libssl-dev gettext zlib1g-dev swig unzip time rsync python3 python3-setuptools python3-yaml.
Plus specific for TIP: sudo apt-get install openvswitch-common
Doing a native build on Linux (OpenWrt 19.07 based)
First we need to clone and setup our tree. This will result in an openwrt/.
python3 setup.py --setup
Next we need to select the profile and base package selection. This setup will install the feeds, packages and generate the .config file. The available profiles are ap2220, ea8300, ecw5211, ecw5410.
cd openwrt
./scripts/gen_config.py ap2220 wlan-ap wifi
If you want to build an AX image you need to setup a different config. The available profiles are hawkeye, cypress, wallaby.
cd openwrt
./scripts/gen_config.py wallaby wifi-ax
Finally we can build the tree.
make -j X V=s
Builds for different profiles can co-exist in the same tree. Switching is done by simple calling gen_config.py again.
Doing a native build on Linux (OpenWrt 20.x based)
First we need to clone and setup our tree. This will result in an openwrt-20.x/.
python3 setup.py --setup --20x
Next we need to select the profile and base package selection. This setup will install the feeds, packages and generate the .config file. The available profiles are ap2220, ea8300, ecw5211, ecw5410. It is no longer required to add the wifi profile. Board profiles will now include their specific wifi flavour profile automatically.
cd openwrt
./scripts/gen_config.py ap2220 wlan-ap
Finally we can build the tree.
make -j X V=s
Builds for different profiles can co-exist in the same tree. Switching is done by simple calling gen_config.py again.
Doing a docker build
Start by installing docker.io on your host system and ensuring that you can run an unprivileged container. Once this is done edit the Dockerfile and choose the Ubuntu flavour. This might depend on your host installation. Then simple call (available targets are AP2220, EA8300, ECW5211, ECW5410)
TARGET=AP2200 make -j 8
