My current goal is to get a firewall running so that I
can get my home LAN attached to the Internet. My PC
of choice for the firewall is a half dead (half
alive!) notebook with a pair of PCMCIA 3Com cards for
NICs.
I have (just) recompiled a 2.2.17 kernel with the 2
required LRP patches and the Openwall patches, along
with MCA support (for other purposes). I replaced the
kernel on the "February revision of the December
version" of the Oxygen-LRP distribution. Along with
this new kernel (and modules, I'll create a tarball
some day), I compiled the latest PCMCIA support
package. And therein lies the reason for this note
...
The PCMCIA cardmgr recognizes cards that are
dynamically inserted/removed and creates/destroys /dev
entries for them. This doesn't work with Oxygen; a
"permission denied" message comes out, I believe
because of the LCAP package? This has now been folded
into Oxygen, so I can't just omit the LCAP package. I
can't seem to find how to shut this off. How do I do
this? And/or maybe implement it later in the boot
process?
I tried this same kernel and pcmcia package based on
LRP 2.9.8, and it works okay, so I know it's not the
Openwall patch this is causing this problem.
Thanks for any help.
Okay, let's see if Mr. Douthitt reads this list!
