Support for The Things Network Gateway Connector

[alviso]

Can you guys update the script to support the Gateway Connector according to this
https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/gateways/registration.html
Thanks, Peter

@alviso: yes, we will definitely do so as soon as possible. But it means updating the packet forwarder with a version that uses the new TTN connector, so, it's not a quickie.

@gonzalocasas Thanks, looking forward to it!

A beta version of the new gateway connector for Linux is now available at:
https://github.com/kersing/packet_forwarder/tree/master/mp_pkt_fwd

It will be great if you could update you repository to support this. Because after that we can also solve this issue:

The Things Network packet forwarder seems to be put on hold. What is the recommended package forwarder to use now, the Semtech UDP one until future notice?

[gonzalocasas]

You have two options right now: either the Semtech UDP one, or the mp packet forwarder.

In the future, the gateway connector will be used by the gateway agent to interact with the Semtech UDP package forwarder (once v3 is released).
