Many universal ones may be used (although they may be larger than your needs f.ex. external ones with integrated antennas) I took the PS, aluminium case for home/office use and board from one seller and it all fits and works fine. You may even make your own case if you want :) Usually Alix boards have wide range of PS support. F.ex. Alix.2/6 input voltage is 7 to 20V DC. I tried many Linksys/Netgear 12V/1A PS and they worked fine. The only thing which may be different is power jack, sometimes they make different diameters for different routers. AFAIR Alix use 2,5mm. The CF cards are not a problem on the market. You'll need to select if you want to use pfsense or normal FreeBSD(NanoBSD builds). In /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd you should find example build for PCEngines board. NanoBSD with Alix is very nice connection. You may create two root slices/parts, config and data. This eases upgrade procedure - you'll always have old working system and the new one. Root is mounted in read-only mode so eventual power loss will not be a problem. Taking Alix(or any x86 compatible board) and having i386 buildhost environment you may install packages from ports to your prepared image. For router you may use ARM or MIPS boards too but they need to be crossbuilt and may need more work to setup them and of course their prices may be higher than Alix. You should find some info about them on the wiki.freebsd.org Kind regards, Maciej ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

You want to ping the host/interface on different subnet. If you don't set the routing to this subnet how your client should know that he needs to put that packet through tap interface not defaultroute which I suspect is different? Can you show the output of netstat -rn of the vpn client? You may try to look into tcpdump on the vpn router to find what is going with your packets.And for such scenario like vpnclient->vpnserver->network you may even not need nat just simple routing will be enough as long as you set it up on right. My setup is based on tun interfaces and works like a charm. I don't use nat and I only added routing info to the specific routers in the internal networks.

Use --server- bridge instead. And additionally bridging means that you have to divide your local subnet(192.168.46.0/24) into two parts. Please have a look for the example at [1]. You may even not need bridging if you want to use two subnets of /24.

Based on the simple concept of, "If it > ain't broke, don't fix it", I think I will leave it alone. In some circumstances it's worth. Not everyone needs anything above stock firmware but some funcionalities are really useful. Sometime ago it was that stock firmware has issues with their wireless chipsets and waiting for the manufacturer update was very long - using alternative firmware helped a lot that time. Does stock firmware support openvpn client? http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/VPN_%28the_easy_way%29_v24%2B What about hotspot functionality? Does stock firmware support it? http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Chillispot Monthly/daily usage statistics etc. for people who have some limits on the internet access? I think there could be more things that are useful for some people.

I think the answer for your first question is on http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/index.en.html#which-cd And talking about GNU/kFreeBSD: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/kfreebsd-amd64/ch04s01.html.en "Although a full set of binary packages requires several CDs, it is unlikely you will need packages on the third CD and above. You may also consider using the DVD version, which saves a lot of space on your shelf and you avoid the CD shuffling marathon." They are writing about CD's but I think the same is about DVD's containing the most wanted packages on the first image(s). Of course that you don't need full set of DVD's. You can even use a small netinstall cd to get Debian. AFAIR on the last discs there were sources for the packages from the first several discs. So the release version of the Debian contains not only packages but the sources too and it's all included in these DVD's. It's like release of FreeBSD + all distfiles on the CD/DVD media.

It depends on revision of these cards because f.ex. DWA130 has 5 revisions from A(no rev number) to E and they're using different chipsets inside.

Do not edit /etcpasswd to change shell. Use command: chpass -s /bin/shell username Or if you really want to do it manually rebuild it through pwd_mkdb.

You can try doing this by software switch: sysctl -a | grep rfkill dev.ath.0.rfkill: 0 This switch should disable radio. I don't know if it is supported by iwi driver but you can try.

In ssh-pam_pgsql.conf you have pw_type = md5 and in your database you have a cleartext password. I think it is your problem. I think that you can add column in your database and convert cleartext password to md5. Or, if possible, configure pam to use cleartext password. I don't know if the latter is possible in pam.

Well, in my opinion those things you can achieve using AP connected to ethernet card of your computer. But there aro other problems in this solution: - knowing of connected wifi clients - changing some WiFi settings - reseting AP Many AP systems are configurable through web interface so it is additional problem. If you set it only once and forget about it or you have someone who can reset this AP then it's possible to do. For me there is better if it is one device not two - the configuration in this case could be simpler. But I second for the advice to use PCI/mPCI cards not USB ones. -- Regards, Maciej Milewski ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

What about editing with vim and setting manualy fileencoding=utf8?
Next time you open this file vim should know that it is utf8 file or am I
wrong?

I think that it will be quite hard to make it running from floppy. If you don't want to install it on this HD (f.ex. because of noise) then you can replace HDD with Disk-On-Module or CF card with CF-IDE adapter. With booting from usb on such rather old computers I had so many problems that I went for other options like these mentioned above.
