[leaf-user] ipsec - no support for interface aliases

[cpu memhd]

Seems like the ipsec scripts rely heavily on ifconfig but that utility
is not available on bering-uclibc. There are lots of modifications to
make it work with the ip command. I was able to overcome this problem
by replacing this line in _startklips:

eval `ip addr show $phys primary | grep inet | sed -n 1p |

With this:

eval `ip addr show ${phys%%:*} label $phys | grep inet | sed -n 1p |

Before:

Device "eth2:0" does not exist.

After:

inet 192.168.8.10/16 brd 192.168.8.255 scope global secondary eth2:0

If there is no ethx:xxx label, the above modification still works (eg.
ip addr show eth0 label eth0).

Just thought I'd mention this because I think it's important enough to
change. Openswan does support aliased interfaces and it's the only way
to use a secondary ip, that I know of at least.

[leaf-user] uclibc usb adsl modem

[Mike Hardie]

Hi, I have been using uclibc with a ethernet based
cable modem but moving house has meant changing
providers and service. 

I now have a usb based Alcatel speedtouch NTU (modem).

I was hoping to use the speedtch.lrp package from
bering but it does not work (no real surprises there).

Has any one ported this to uclibc or if not does some
one want to?

Here's hoping. I tried to myself but could not get the
build environment to build, so that's a dead end at
the moment.

thanks

Mike
