I could indeed be wrong in reference to the bering specifics.  I assumed
however that it followed the same basics of the dachstein installations.
come to think of it, there are some differences that you may need to
reference.  under a dachstein installation, you needed and ipsec enabled
kernel, where as under bering, the ipsec.o module might solve that part of
the equation.  in that case you would need the stock bering kernel, then
load the ipsec.o module (as part of modules.conf) and then load the
ipsec.lrp for bering.  try that and let me know your results.  upon
returning to houston i am thinking about upgrading to a bering installation
for testing purposes, i'll have to keep this very topic in my mind as i
change over...
Bering is indeed modularized to that level. It requires ipsec.o (for ipsec) so I would recommend to bundle it with the ipsec.lrp package to avoid a few mistakes.

For example I was assuming that the hierarchical order in /lib/modules was reflected in the hierarchy the modules were distributed, e.g. ipsec.o in the modules distributionresides in modules/net/ipsec, so in my first attempt I moved it to /lib/modules/net/ipsec on the target system. Insmod worked fine and installed it. Stopping ipsec removed the module fine. Starting ipsec did not work because the script expected ipsec.o to live in /lib/modules. If the module was packed with the rest of the of the software this would never occur.

Unless one packs the ipsec.o module into initrd.lrp there is IMHO not even a gain in valuable floppy space, because the modules.lrp package normally lives with all the others on the same floppy.

Thanks for the info and I might need some hand holding with ipsec.conf ;-)
