[Leaf-user] George Metz' 2.4.3 image

2001-06-18 Thread Zachariah Mully

Howdy all-
I recently started toying with the idea of deploying a LEAF based
firewall/VPN in our colo after I saw Exodus wants $4000/mo. for a
"managed" Cisco Pix. I figure LEAF probably can save me some of that
$48,000. So my questions revolve around the possibilities of using
2.4.3+ kernels in production and how exactly I get custom built kernels
to boot.
I would like to use a 2.4 kernel because I want the functionality of
iptables, especially one-to-one NAT (what's that, static NAT?) for my
production environment. I have an LRP 2.9.8 router (2.2.18) here at the
corporate office, but it took me some while to get port forwarding
working to my satisfaction (actually it was screwing around with BIND
for an internal DNS, but then Jacques Nilo came out with the wonderful
Tinydns package, hats off to you).
So knowing that 2.4 kernels are definitely experimental, I grabbed
George Metz' 2.4.3 distribution of his site and booted it up. It booted
up fine (though I had issues with the newest syslinux, had to use 1.54
instead of 1.62), but it doesn't include IDE support (unless I totally
missed something), so I can't mount and configure my HDD to boot off
of... I didn't see any modules that looked like they provided IDE
support and I thought that IDE was not a modularizable feature to begin
with. Do I have this wrong?
In hopes that I could do better myself, I compiled a 2.4.5 kernel off
my Redhat 7.1 box and made it as a bzipped image... I replaced the 2.4.3
kernel with the new one and I get as far as "Uncompressing Linux... Ok,
booting the kernel" when it stalls. The kernel I built with initrd
support and ramdisk support in hopes of using it with LEAF... What I
don't know is if I compressed right (should I have included UPX
support?).
I read through the LEAF-devel guide, but this 2.4.3 distro looked to be
using gcc 2.95? So I figured that I should be able to kernel compile on
my RH7.1 box. Somebody please straighten me out!

Thanks again...

[Leaf-user] Write protected flash memory

2001-06-19 Thread Zachariah Mully

Hey all-
I have been trying to figure out if write-protecting CF or PCMCIA flash
memory when mated to a CF/PCMCIA-to-IDE converter is possible and I have
found some interesting stuff, but I am not technically proficient enough
to decode it... So perhaps someone out there on the list could help me
with this?
This is from http://copper.he.net/~whiteedc/pdf/ATA10.pdf and it
describes the function of the "write protect" pin (33) for PCMCIA ATA
flash:

Write Protect, 16 bit I/O port: In memory mode, WP i s hel d low:
always writable). In I/O mode , IOIS16# is asserted low when Task
File Registers are accessed in 16 bit mode. In True IDE mOde this
signal i s asserted low when this device i s expecting a word data
transfer
cy cle.

From my understanding, the last mode, True IDE, is what we would want
to use for our LEAF boxes as it allows the card to look and act like an
IDE drive. So what I would like to know is if pin 33 is held high (and I
have a very weak idea of what that means) and the card is in True IDE
mode, what exactly will that do? i.e. what the heck is a word data
transfer cycle and what happens if we block it? I am thinking that if
pulling this pin high we can disable writes, then a modification can be
done to the CF/PCMCIA-2-IDE adapters to enable/disable writes via a
switch mounted on the front of the LEAF box.
Or another possibility is to use these cards in mode 1, memory mode,
which seems to fully support write-protect. But I don't know if there is
kernel/bootloader support for this mode of flash.
This company does make PCMCIA flash cards with *hardware* write protect
switches on them, but I haven't been able to get a hold of them to find
out who they resell these through.
http://copper.he.net/~whiteedc/pcmcia/pcmcia_flash.php (look under
Features section).
Would anyone else be interested in these flash cards with write-protect
switches on them? Or am I barking up the wrong tree here?

Searching for a boot medium greater than the sum of two floppies ;)

Charles-
CS>If anyone knows of a CF or PCMCIA flash card with a physical
write-protect
CS>switch, please let the rest of us know.

I have sitting in front of me an Intel 20 meg PCMCIA flash card that has
a write protect switch on it. I pulled it out of a Cisco 5000, it says
"FLASH Intel Series 2+" on the front side, on the back it is stamped
with the following: iMC020FLSP-15/25-S M7320011 . When I popped it into
a Win98 laptop here at work I got nothing after trying drivers for both
Series 1 and Series 2 Memory Technology Devices (as per windows, they
were the only drivers). It detected the card as a "MTD-A089". A google
search and microsoft knowledgebase search on this returned nothing. I
have no experience with PCMCIA or flash memory, so my inepituted is
showing through here. I can't sacrifice the laptop to a linux install
(the marketing folk would kill me for playing with "their" laptop), so
does anyone have any idea how to test this bugger out in win98?

I did a quick search on ebay and it looks like there are plenty of these
cards floating around, even an 8meg card would suffice if the write
protect actually does work!

TIA,
Zack

Luis + et al.-

>The PCMCIA flash card you have is unusable as a boot device.
>I had several of those also from Cisco routers but until now I had no
>success using them.

I did some research this morning and I have been able to reformat and
use one of these Intel cards as a regular drive (under Win98). Also the
good news is that the hardware write-protect switch *DOES* work. What I
did to get this bad boy working under win98 is as follows:

1)downloaded TrueFFS from http://www.pretec.com/ftp/TrueFFS-9x.zip (this
is probably an illegal and very old version, so you might want to try
going to http://www.m-sys.com to see if you can download a newer copy
there.)
2)followed the install directions provided
3)used the DOS TFORMAT utility, or use the windows shell integrated
Flash disk format command and format it...

I don't know much about trying to boot off of this device as I don't
have a PCMCIA to IDE adapter (do these exist? similar to CF->IDE except
for pin-outs), so I don't know if you can force the device into the IDE
compatible mode automatically on power up. But if you could then I think
this document might help us understand how to prepare it for booting
ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/people/dwmw2/mtd/cvs/mtd/mtd-jffs-HOWTO.txt I
am still reading through this article but if anyone has any insights, I
would love to hear them! The main Linux-MTD page is located at:
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/

Thanks again,
Zack

P.S. I think that I may be confusing ATA-Flash with some other kind of
flash memory, but please help straighten me out if I am... This may be
obvious to some, but I am new to the flash memory, PCMCIA, all that
crap...

RE: [Leaf-user] Write protected flash memory <-SUCCESS!

2001-06-20 Thread Zachariah Mully


I really have to cut back on the coffee and concentrate on what I am
writing... I apologize to the list for the barrage of messages, but this
is pretty much the only thing preventing me from dropping a Cisco PIX
purchase in favor of a LEAF box (storage space that is). As soon as I
dashed off that last email in my excitement, I realized that if you
could push the card into TrueIDE mode, then you could simply format it
as an MSDOS partition and syslinux it, then everything else would be a
standard LEAF install.
The only PCMCIA adapter that I was able to find was from EMJ embedded,
the 3.5" mounting kit, floppy style, is $80
(http://www.emjembedded.com/products/solidstate/ata.html part no.
1sdda01), and I haven't been able to find a retailer who carries flash
ATA cards with the write-protect switch on them. A quick check on Ebay
for "cisco flash card" turned up some 8meg and 6meg cards, but you'd
have to check with the seller about whether or not they have the write
protect switch. Some one might want to check with the big boys
(Kingston, Sandisk and the like) to see if they have such cards in
production. Anyhow, my converter has been ordered, so hopefully I will
have good news soon!

Hey all-
A quick question about iptables... My FW is running a 2.4.5 kernel and
iptables. I've been doing benchmarking on the web farm behind the FW and

Where can I adjust the table size and what is the max of the table?
When I boot I get the following: >ip_conntrack (1014 buckets, 8112 max)

DHCP is nice because you can update your DNS cache servers or whatever
and not have to go and log into 5 different machines to change the

[leaf-user] IDE install with linux?

2002-07-24 Thread Zachariah Mully

Hello all-
I am having a rather baffling problem with installing WISP/Bearing on
to a 1.0G IDE harddrive. The funny thing is, I can get the drive to work
if I partition it and format it in Windows, but I can't get it to work
if I do the same in linux.
Here's what I am doing in linux:
1)fdisk /dev/hda
2)add 50MB FAT16 (type 6) partition as /dev/hda1
3)toggle bootable flag to true on /dev/hda1
4)use mkdosfs to create a FAT16 file system on the /dev/hda1
5)syslinux /dev/hda1 (using v1.52, also tried the -s option to no avail)
6)mount partition to /wisp (mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /wisp)
7)unzip wisp-dist_2290_pkg_wdist.zip to /wisp
8)edit /wisp/syslinux.cfg
9)install disk in router box and boot it, but it never finds the MBR
that syslinux should have installed (right?)... It just sits there
saying "Invalid media or replace system disk" (or whatever that error
says).

The destination box is a Dell XPS P200s with 32MB, and I've installed
full distros on this box (and drive) before without any issues. I know
that I must be missing something totally obvious, but I can't figure it
out. At this point it's purely academic, as I can get it to work when
installed under windows, but being that I don't run windows any more
(had to take over a coworkers box to do it) it's a matter of pride that
I can get it to work under Linux ;)

Thanks,
Zack

Well, I ended up using Free FDISK to put a DOS MBR on the drive, as I
couldn't get the win98 fdisk to put a new MBR on the hard drive
(strange). It works so I now have other problems to address now like why
WISP refuses to set my prism card in master mode, but no magical
syslinux incantations would get the box to boot syslinux's supposed MBR
that it installs. Oh well. Chalk it up to BillG and the hard drive
kieretsu's. 

Thanks for all the suggestions...

I knew that was the case when running windows (perhaps also the reason
why the win98 fdisk that I copied on to a win98 boot floppy refused to
/MBR the hdd), but the original problem was why the linux version of
syslinux when installed on the hdd wouldn't boot it... I don't run
windows anymore (switched my desktop to Redhat, Gnome and evolution
about a year ago) so breaking my Windowsless streak sucked ;)

Re: [leaf-user] Where to get PrismII w/ Dongle?

2002-07-25 Thread Zachariah Mully

Jason-
I am not sure what type of connector it has but the USRobotics kit 2445
contains two PLX PCI adapter boards and two Prism based PCMCIA cards,
one with an internal antenna for either desktop or laptop and the other
with an antenna jack and a magnetic rubber ducky antenna on a 4 ft lead.
The kit is $80 at TigerDirect.com. 
Other than having to load the hostap_plx module (in WISP) and do some
funky device renaming (WISP expects the wireless interfaces to be named
netcsX whereas in my experience wifi cards are usually named wlanX),
they work fine with LEAF/WISP/Linux.
I'd be interested to know what type of connector they use, it's small
(has to fit in the thickness of a PCMCIA card) and snaps in, it's not a
screw in.

[leaf-user] WISP and Prism based PLX cards problems

2002-07-26 Thread Zachariah Mully

Hello all-
I am struggling to get my WISP (v.2290) AP up and running, I was hoping
to have it done today (DSL router came today, woohoo!) but I am
definitely missing a key part of the setup entirely.
Here's the issue. I am using a USR 2445 PLX based PCI adapter with a
USR prism2 based PCMCIA card. When I insert the hostap_plx module, it
correctly finds the card and configures it as wlan0. Following the
instructions in previous post about this device name problem with WISP,
I added the following to my /etc/init.d/networking script:

echo eth1 > /tmp/newname.wlan0
ip link set wlan0 name eth1

before the call to "ifup -a" in the "start)" case.
The renaming works, so that now I can config eth1 through wdistconfig,
but I can't get the wireless configs to stick (i.e. ESSID,channel,rate,
etc.). From looking at the directory /etc/network, it would appear that
these parameters are set by the wireless-start script which reads from
the config file "wireless.config". For the life of me I can't 1)find
what calls the wireless-start script in the startup routine and 2) how
the device renaming that this script does works in my setup. 
To run the wireless-start, I first have to disable the interface:

I've been on hold all night with USR about the problem, but of course as
soon as I said "linux", I was off their diagnostic chart and they refused
to help until I had installed Windows (like that'll happen). I'm going to
take the card to work and try it in one of our Windows 2000 laptops, but I
was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what the problem might
be...

Thanks,
Zack

Re: [leaf-user] Anyone tried USR2415 card in Dachstein?

2002-08-19 Thread Zachariah Mully

Lee-
I briefly had one working in WISP-DIST using the hostap_plx driver, BUT
you need to upgrade the firmware on the card for all the goodies to
work. I purchased the combo pack from TigerDirect for $80 which includes
two PCI/Wifi cards (USR 2415 and 2445). They seem to be an Intersil 2.5
reference implementation and could probably be flashed with any Intersil
firmware. The one strange thing is that the 2415 is a 5v part whereas
the 2445 is a 3.3v part. Dunno why USR did this...
Mine were shipped with firmware 0.7 or 0.8, USR has an upgrade to 1.03
availible. You, of course, need winblows to flash the card.

Good luck.

Re: [leaf-user] D Link 520+

2002-11-25 Thread Zachariah Mully

Sorry, but the DWL-520+ (or any dlink + card) uses an unsupported Ti
chipset. You're out of luck, best go pick up a prism 2/3 based card.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. From what I've heard, the newest
revisions of the DWL-650 don't use the Intersil chipset, I could be
wrong, best call Dlink about it. The linux-wlan-ng page has a pretty
good summary of what cards are Intersil Prism based:
http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/

Good luck.
