I don't know - I don't presume to know enough to claim there is a bug with
the code. You guys do a great job with the product and packaging things
together. I just related what happened, and was desperately trying to get it
fixed so I stayed out of a jam with upcoming installation. Even though I
found a working module, it still shows the ping message 'ping: send to:
invalid argument' and the OLD system doesn't do that (but it has different
NICs). And on the NEW system, you can ping each internal interface (ETH1,
ETH2) from systems on that LAN segment, so I have no idea what is going on
with that.

On a different note, but somewhat related. I have the  system up and working
with USB support. When I plug in a USB device, how do I know what the device
name is (i.e., First IDE harddisk is /dev/hda1 - that kind of thing)? Is it
considered IDE, SCSI, or it's own device category?

And one last question, I'm currently using this Acrosser micro-PC, embedded
system, network appliance - whatever it's called. It is supposed to be about
a PIV equivalent (or PIII) and has up to 256 MB RAM, a couple USB slots, 3
LAN Ethernet interfaces (only really need two), a compact flash slot (Type
I,II), mini-PCI slot, and IDE interface. Does anyone know of equivalent
performing systems that are about the size of a Linksys wireless router
(which is about the size of this Acrosser AR-M9952; don't want or need an
industrialized system), and under $300? I really like the Acrosser product,
but if there is an equivalent and lower priced solution, I'd like to be
aware of it. 

Supposedly Acrosser is an OEM manufacturer for Cisco/Linksys. I would
recommend the product, and now have the experience to say that LEAF does
load and work nicely, version 3.0.1.
