My gateway runs a different free OS, so I can't give explicit step-by-steps, but I would expect Linux on your openwrt to be more than adequate. tracked down the a ipkg (openwrt package) for this from hexagon The ifconfig manual on my Linux box mentions tunnel, so you look mostly set. AARNet use the Hexago broker, which talks TSP (tunnel setup protocol). You might find a tspc package appropriate for your hardware and distro, or you could perhaps compile it yourself from source. Alternatively, you can keep the tunnel up by whacking on the appropriate web from from time to time. For my own use, I analysed their web form sufficiently to write a perl script I run out of cron, avoiding the use of a binary that can get increasingly decrepit as I do my six-monthly OS upgrade. I could pass on a redacted copy of this if you'd like. (It only does the keep-alive, not the initial tunnel setup, which is just static OS-dependent configuration.) thanks -- Christopher -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] Ubuntu Gutsy MD Houdini act
Hi guys, I upgraded one of my computers to Ubuntu Gutsy with aptitude recently (the update-manager -d method refused to work), and am now unable to boot my computer into the new kernel (thankfully one of the old ones still works). The problem is that my raid devices aren't coming up (the whole system, root included, is on RAID1). I can confirm this by waiting for the waiting for root timeout during boot, and inspecting the system from the shell that comes up. The device files exist (/dev/md5 is the important one), but the array has not been assembled. I can manually assemble it at this point, and then mount it successfully. Haven't tried booting from that stage yet. So, any ideas on how I can get RAID working on this machine? It was setup by the ubuntu alternative installer from 7.04 (on Jeff's sage advice). I've looked around and the two common remedies (removing evms and adding arbitrary sleep times to initramfs) don't help (evms wasn't ever there, and the /dev/md5 *file* exists; it just hasn't been assembled. Any help appreciated; as this is the second machine I've broken by installing Gutsy, I'm beginning to believe that I'm cursed! And the next machine to get this upgrade is the important one. That will be gutsy indeed. Thanks. James. -- James Gregory -- http://codelore.com -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
