That's the point :) I already have a web configuration front end, but the IP address configuration needs to be done from the screen/keyboard combo (there's no LCD panel or anything) I just basically wanted to provide the same interface in a cut down browser (not links with svgalib either, looks ugly and there's too much stuff that I don't need) I know that I could do the whole ncurses config based thing and skip the idea of having a framebuffer, but it'd be nice to present the same interface at all levels and the hardware is already in the box, so it'd be daft not to at least make *some* use of it. > > Considered a web interface? there is a project named haserl which is > embedding shell code in html, just like php. > > http://haserl.sourceforge.net Cool will look at that anyway > > ebuild is found here: > http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76213 > > -- > Natanael Copa > > -- Joel Merrick
