[leaf-user] how do you setup module aliases?
I'm trying to configure a new router using Bering-uClibc 3.1. I have two nics that use the same driver 3c59x. Typing: insmod 3c59x loads the module, but only configures eth0. The output from insmod seems to indicate it found two cards though. All the docs I've found seem to say I need to set to module aliases to get the driver to load for both cards. alias eth0 3c59x alias eth1 3x59x The question is where do I put these lines on a leaf router? ...Izzy - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ leaf-user mailing list: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/

[leaf-user] dnsmasq and cache poisoning vulnerabilities
Would it be possible to get dnsmasq repackaged with a recent version that addresses the recently-publicised cache poisoning vulnerabilities? The vulnerabilities have been discussed in many places, such as here: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113 It looks like this was addressed in dnsmasq in version 2.43: http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2008q3/002183.html Thanks.

Re: [leaf-user] how do you setup module aliases?
I'm an idiot! I was getting this output when I loaded the module: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 01:07.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:01.0 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html 01:07.0: 3Com PCI 3c900 Boomerang 10baseT at 0xecc0. Vers LK1.1.18 eth0: Dropping NETIF_F_SG since no checksum feature. PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 01:0c.0 01:0c.0: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado at 0xec00. Vers LK1.1.18 I seen eth0 and assumed it meant it had configured eth0 but not eth1. Looking at it again now, it's clear that was a warning about the driver configuration for eth0. I never ran ip ad to verify which interfaces were configured and wasted a bunch of time looking for a bug that didn't exist. I guess I should have gone to bed when I first found the problem instead of pushing on in my sleep deprived state. Probably would have noticed I didn't actually have a problem a lot sooner! :( For the record, I had booted with the System Rescue CD from sysresccd.org and was able to configure both NICS without a problem on it, so I new it wasn't a hardware issue. I just assumed it was a 2.6 vs 2.4 kernel issue or a module option issue. As it turns out, it was a code id10t issue. At any rate, thanks everyone who responded. I guess at the least I've learned to double check with ip ad before assuming the worst. Oh, and I've learned that you can't use module aliases on Bering-uclib. ...Izzy Erkki Lintunen wrote: You can't because there isn't modutils tools of 2.4 kernel included in Bering-uClibc or, what I can tell, in any of its ancestors for size reasons, I guess. I have a box with two NICs run by 3c59x drivers on Bering-uClibc 3.1. What I can remember, there wasn't any problems getting them operational. Loading the module once was able to find both NICs. What about running some Linux LiveCD system on your box and checking, if it can find the NICs? If it can't, then your problem is in hardware. Which reminds me of couple problems, I had with PCI-bus configurations and 2.4 kernels. The last one was with PCI parity feature enabled in BIOS, what prevented the second NIC to operate The second problem was related to irq sharing (commonly IRQ 11) on PCI-bus, but can't remember the fix. Kernels and modules do have extensive options by which most problems can be solved ie. if hardware works ok, and even if it doesn't in case of faulty/nonexistent defaults in BIOS, there is many kernel options to get the hardware operational. The problem is that often it has been most work in digging what available options are. Erkki on 25.7.2008 10:23 Izzy Blacklock wrote: I'm trying to configure a new router using Bering-uClibc 3.1.
