RE: [leaf-user] WiFi Adapters - AP ready?

2004-05-26 Thread Matthew Pozzi
1. Yes, Linksys WPC11 if you can still get it, not sure of the other
manufacturers.

2. No to 11G, OK only to 11B with hostap

3. Not sure, ask the uClibC gang about the hostap.o module from bering 1.2,
if it works, as I said in my earlier post, I have not yet tried. I have to
get openvpn working first, sorry.

Subject: [leaf-user] WiFi Adapters - AP ready?

Hi,

I'm currently using bering Bering-uClibc 2.1 I would like to add a third
card to the router in order to enable WiFi users to connect to the network.

1) From the following brands, which has a PCI card that can be used as an
AP. Which model?

   LinkSYS
   Encore
   Surecom

2) Should I go to 802.11 G??

3) Is there any how to on how to set up an access point in Bering-uClibc??

Thanks

[leaf-user] About BeringUclib 2.1.2

2004-05-26 Thread Fabricio Vargas

  Hi:

I downloaded BeringUclib 2.1.2 from different mirrors  but when They start
say "Bering Uclib 2.1.1"
Is it normal? I think It is a mistake only in the name of the version
Where should I see in order to know if i got the correct version?

Sorry for my English

[leaf-user] Why doesn't DNS resolution work through Bering 1.2?

2004-05-26 Thread Tibbs, Richard
Using Bering 1.2 floppy, I have pump working on eth0, and a static ip
(192.168.10.254) on eth1 in my Bering 1.2 box. 

Eth0 is connected to a campus network that serves DHCP, and I removed
the "nodns" parameter from the pump package config.
I can look in resolve.conf and see the available dns servers.
But, it appears that DNSCACHE can't use them.
My internal hosts on eth1 have static Ips and their gateway and dns
point to 192.168.10.254.

No web browser will work unless I add a secondary DNS (one visible from
resolv.conf on the Bering box) to the internal host config.  Then
everything is fine.

Any ideas?

2004-05-26 Thread M Lu
- Since you use 192.168.10.254 (and not 192.1168.1.254 as default in Bering)
you need to config DNSCACHE to that IP.
- DNSCACHE does not use the name servers in /etc/resolv.conf but uses list
of DNSes listed in its configuration. You can add your campus name servers
there. Just use lrcfg and you can see where to add them.

Just leave the 'nondns' parameters in pump and set your /etc/resolv.conf to
192.168.10.254.

[leaf-user] Bering 1.2 backup destination problem

2004-05-26 Thread Tibbs, Richard
Dear list:
I am following the Bering user guide through the process to "create" a
bering CD --
I have a successful Bering 1680k floppy working on the machine.
To get the .lrp's onto a 1440 floppy, I am using the backup destination
facility, i.e.,

Take out Bering boot floppy, insert a 1440kb floppy.
lrcfg
b) backup a package
Then for each package etc, shorwall, etc. I change the destination to
fd0, msdos by typing 
d 3 (for etc) and selecting the appropriate options, then
b 3  

This works for the first package backed up -- but upon backing up a
second package
i.e. d 5  (select fd0)
Then b 5  results in the message "cant mount backup device".  

I have tried to umount the floppy, but it is not mounted (getting out of
lrcfg, then going back into lrcfg).
Forever, any further backups to fd0 fail with the above message until
reboot from the Bering (fd0u1680) floppy. 

Any idea what to do?  I can reboot between each package, but it is a bit
tedious.
Rick.

I suspect you're having consistency problems going between 1680K and 
1440K disks.  Note that /dev/fd0 *should* be 1440K, but I believe the 
default bering floppy backup target is actually /dev/fd0u1680, which is 
a 1680K formatted disk.

I suggest adding a 1440K backup target by running the following at the 
command line:

  echo /dev/fd0u1440 >>/var/lib/lrpkg/pkgpath.disks
Then you can change the backup target for all packages (d e) to the 
1440K disk (probably choice #3).  You can also try backing up everything 
at once (b e), but I prefer to do backups one at a time.

Note:  You can also just copy the LRP's from one disk to another:
  # mount bering 1680 disk
  mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1680 /mnt
  # copy files to /tmp
  cp /mnt/*.lrp /tmp
  # unmount disk
  umount /mnt
  # mount 1440K disk
  mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1440 /mnt
  # copy files from /tmp
  cp /tmp/*.lrp /mnt
  # unmount disk
  umount /mnt

Eric,

In the script /usr/sbin/lrcfg.back, when one select "c) custom destination"
in the "Select Backup Destination" dialog, the device is not correctly
updated/added in the $LRPKG/pkgpath.disks file.

The faulty sequence is (near line 133):

   if ! `grep -q "$DEV $FS" $LRPKG/pkgpath.disks`;then
  echo "$DEV $FS" >>$LRPKG/pkgpath.disks
   fi

and I changed it to:

   if ! `grep -q "$DEV $FS" $LRPKG/pkgpath.disks`;then
 echo "/dev/$DEV $FS" >>$LRPKG/pkgpath.disks
   fi

Hope this will help

Christian

Is there modules for the latest beta?  I need what I believe is ATP865 -
a SIIG PCI IDE card.  The Maxtor cards I wanted to use with the Promise
chipset turned out to suck.

My CF-IDE corruption did turn out to be the 64mb sandisk compact flash
cards - both of them.  I recommend that all CF-IDE users avoid this
size.  I am using the 256mb ultra II 256mb sandisk instead.  So far no
corruption.. (crossing fingers).

[leaf-user] Bering Serial port problem on IBM Aptiva

2004-05-26 Thread Dr. Richard W. Tibbs
Yes, I know you will say "what are you doing running Bering 1.2 on an Aptiva"?
The Aptiva 2176/C66 is a Pentium 1 66Mhz with 16Mb ram...
It is one the many otherwise useless machines I have at home.
Bering 1.2 floppy is working fine otherwise, but I wanted to connect one of my PC hosts
in through the Aptiva's serial port.
When Bering boots I see the message "TTYS01 is a 16550A"
The line I use in etc/inittab is
T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty/ -L ttyS01 19200 vt100
But, a few minutes after boot I get the message on the firewall console
INIT: id T1 spawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes.
Hyperterminal never says it is connected, but there is no reponse.
I have googled for IBM Aptiva 2176 C66 serial port and found some radio shack web page 
with the specs
Tried also using ttyS0 and ttyS1 since the aptiva supposedly has two serial ports (one 
might have been the modem)
But no luck with any of the ttyS01, S0 or S1 designations.
Any ideas what to do here?
TIA,
Rick

Re: [leaf-user] Bering Serial port problem on IBM Aptiva

Yes, I know you will say "what are you doing running Bering 1.2 on an Aptiva"?
The Aptiva 2176/C66 is a Pentium 1 66Mhz with 16Mb ram...
It is one the many otherwise useless machines I have at home.
Bering 1.2 floppy is working fine otherwise, but I wanted to connect one of my PC hosts
in through the Aptiva's serial port.
When Bering boots I see the message "TTYS01 is a 16550A"
The line I use in etc/inittab is
T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty/ -L ttyS01 19200 vt100
But, a few minutes after boot I get the message on the firewall console
INIT: id T1 spawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes.
Hyperterminal never says it is connected, but there is no reponse.
I have googled for IBM Aptiva 2176 C66 serial port and found some radio shack web page 
with the specs
Tried also using ttyS0 and ttyS1 since the aptiva supposedly has two serial ports (one 
might have been the modem)
But no luck with any of the ttyS01, S0 or S1 designations.
Instead of:
T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty/ -L ttyS01 19200 vt100
Try w/o the trailing slash and with the proper parameter order:
T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L 19200 ttyS0 vt100
For additional debugging, you can try running the init entry directly 
from the command line.  If you're having 'respawning' problems, there's 
almost certainly something wrong with your command syntax, which is 
causing an immediate abort.  When run directly from the command prompt, 
you'll typically get a helpful error message that's lost when running 
from init.

Note that Bering uses getty from tinylogin, rather than the gnu getty, 
so there might be some differences in how it operates.
