If we're talking about WISP, specifically, I doubt space limitations are a problem, since their default build is around 7MB and meant for something bigger than a floppy. At any rate, I know the following: - People are (successfully) using the DWL-520 (E1) on linux using the hostap driver - DWL-520 cards cost under 30 bucks retail (cheap, cheap, cheap) - People are successfully using WISP as a smallish linux distro that's wireless capable - People are using LEAF to create routers, firewalls, etc (including me...mine at home has been running non-stop for about 2 years, other than power failures) - WISP is now part of LEAF In the interests of science and furthering my own self-interest in saving as much money as I possibly can, I'll get to working on a how-to. If possible, I'll make it fit on a floppy, if not, I'll make note of the fact that it's too big. I'll get back to you when I have something that works.

I have had a couple units using the Soekris boards ( AMD ELAN 133MHz 586 CPU ) lock up on me. I could not access via ethernet and I don't think via serial port either.If the hardware watchdog was enabled, they would have reset and all would have been OK. I had to go to the remote site and power-cycle the units. They came up fine. If someone has a module, code, executable that can access this functionality please send me a link.

Re: [leaf-user] WISP-Dist
By the way, there is already similar monitoring functionality. You can enable it using Configure network checks. Basicly it tries to ping various hosts, and if it fails, reboots the unit. However you can change the script according to your need. The script is in /usr/sbin/checkping and changes to it will be saved during standard backup procedure. wispdist wrote: On another subject from time to time one of the radio cards stops responding resulting in an error msg that fills the /var/log/messages file the error msg contains: kernel: netcs1: prism2_interrupt: hw not ready; skipping events 0x This only happens with a card in AP mode and only when I am using both pcmcia slots ( 2-slot soekris boards ) I wrote a monitoring script that checks the /var/log/messages file once per minute for this error msg prism2_interrupt: hw not ready; skipping events and does the following if it is found cardctl suspend sleep 1 cardctl resume sleep 1 sleep 10 echo . /var/log/messages this last line clears the log file so this monitoring script does not go into a loop.

Re: [leaf-user] WISP-Dist
Did you try upgrading your card's firmware? What firmware do you use currently? What is the chipset - Prism2, Prism2.5? Something like this might happen during big load, especially with small packets. Unfortunately almost all 802.11b chipsets (ADM8211 is an exception) uses PIO which is very CPU-inefficient. Under big load everything gets really nasty (like lost interrupts) and I saw some similar problems with Cisco 350 cards. wispdist wrote: On another subject from time to time one of the radio cards stops responding resulting in an error msg that fills the /var/log/messages file the error msg contains: kernel: netcs1: prism2_interrupt: hw not ready; skipping events 0x This only happens with a card in AP mode and only when I am using both pcmcia slots ( 2-slot soekris boards ) I wrote a monitoring script that checks the /var/log/messages file once per minute for this error msg prism2_interrupt: hw not ready; skipping events and does the following if it is found cardctl suspend sleep 1 cardctl resume sleep 1 sleep 10 echo . /var/log/messages this last line clears the log file so this monitoring script does not go into a loop.

Re: [leaf-user] WISP-Dist - routing problems
Some advices: 1) Make sure that Zebra is loaded after all interfaces are up. 2) Routers may have to be in the same subnet in order for RIPv2 to work. wispdist wrote: I am still having problems with the zebra routing even when only using ripd Does anyone know if there are issues with using more than one IP address per interface. Does this confuse the routing software? I had one unit that when assigned on one subnet, the routes propagated fine but when I switched it to another subnet on the same interfaces, no routes would propagate at all. I restarted zebra, power-cycled the units, power-cycled and then restarted zebra several times and after several minutes, no routes were propagating. I looked at the traffic with tcpdump and could see the routing packets being transmitted and received. Maybe my routing tables are getting too big... they have between 30 and 50 routes in them now on this particular network. ( due to multiple subnets on each router interface ). I am using build 2397 on soekris boards w/ 64MB RAM. When I check the memory with free it shows I still have 20 to 30MB free / unused RAM. I am also using build 2397 on some IBM PC's (pentium 100) with a PCI pcmcia plx adapter. (siemens SS1023) and they seem to be working well. The interface name shows up as wlan0. If I update the zebra config files (ospf.conf, ripd.conf) and add the wlan0 interface, then sometimes the routing works, sometimes not. It does the same thing as is happening on the soekris SBC's. --J. --- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?

wispdist wrote about [leaf-user] wisp-dist bld 2397 losing prism2_interrupt:
I am currently using the soekris two slot boards and when I run two radio
cards at once I see two problems.
1. sometimes I get the following error in the /var/log/messages
Feb 5 15:16:10 HiGu{GeRh}-GaGr-OrCo-Ca-bsr0-AP1 kernel: netcs1:

This only happens when the card is in AP mode. All radio associations and
data stop. A restart fixes the problem until it happens again. I have had
a few units do this about once a month.
Also, it has only happened when using two radio cards at once
2. When trying to view the associations list, I can only view one card (
when both are in AP mode w/ different channels and essid's ).
both cards are working and radios are associating and traffic working.
But, in the /proc/net/prism2 directory I have two wlan0 listings. since
they are the same name, I cannot look at one of them. It appears the one I
can cd into is a race condition.So I cannot get to the second card's
settings.
Any ideas?

Re: [leaf-user] WISP-dist: netcs0 instead of wlan0 problem
What's wrong with netcs0? WISP-Dist detects that the card is in the first slot of the PCMCIA and renames the interface.

If I use station- server or TT firmware for AP, the wisp-dist client works but not in AP mode. I noticed that only one of the antenna sockets works in TT's high power cards, at least in Access Point (Master) mode. This may be your problem as well. Let me know. I have seen it mentioned it may have something to do with the new pcmcia controller on these two boards. I am not sure. 2312 should support PCMCIA controllers on both new TT and Soekris out of the box. Also, the RSSI reading in client mode just sits at 100% whether connected or not. I figure this is a problem with the driver talking to the card. Well, TT's high power cards are strange in the way they report values. I never ran TT's high power in client mode (yet), however, in AP mode I see that TX power level that it reports is endlessly jumping from high to low. It doesn't affect operation in any other way, though.

(Fwd) Re: [leaf-user] wisp-dist img / build 2312 --- can't get
I am experiencing this ... When the wisp-dist is in AP mode, both the client and the AP show they are associated. When I ping the AP from the laptop ( client ) The Access Point Statistics for wlan0: show it is receiving the ping pkts, but are not transmitting eg. xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (): silence=13 signal=110 rate=20 flow=0 TX: 0kb RX: 258kb I have confirmed the antenna socket I am plugged into is working and works if I use either the TT v3.xxx firmware or station-server Any ideas?

I am using the new 100mW higher power card. They pass traffic in infrastructure / client mode but not in AP mode. If I use station- server or TT firmware for AP, the wisp-dist client works but not in AP mode. I noticed that only one of the antenna sockets works in TT's high power cards, at least in Access Point (Master) mode. This may be your problem as well. Let me know. I have seen it mentioned it may have something to do with the new pcmcia controller on these two boards. I am not sure. 2312 should support PCMCIA controllers on both new TT and Soekris out of the box. Also, the RSSI reading in client mode just sits at 100% whether connected or not. I figure this is a problem with the driver talking to the card. Well, TT's high power cards are strange in the way they report values. I never ran TT's high power in client mode (yet), however, in AP mode I see that TX power level that it reports is endlessly jumping from high to low. It doesn't affect operation in any other way, though. Nevertheless, client statistics are reported correctly when the card is in AP mode. -- Best Regards, Vladimir Systems Engineer (RHCE) --- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
