Does anyone out there do a similar thing, if so can I please get your specifications and set up, with any advice you may have. We use Soekris boxes for Wireless APs and routers in small towns. They work quite well for our needs. If you are looking for software to do QoS/Firewall I would suggest looking at the following: http://www.pfsense.com/ - WebGUI, QoS, firewall(pf), FreeBSD based. It has a lot of other neat features, I believe it needs a 4801. leaf.sourceforge.net - We are using wisp-dist, and planning on moving to bering-uclibc , It has shorewall firewall and QoS available. It also has alot of other software packages for advanced use. You can also go the route of installing linux/freeBSD/openBSD and build your own system. Also does anyone use this in conjunction with addressable switches and a server? Not sure what you mean by this. I also have a Server system with Cisco VOIP phones that I would like to control bandwidth for surfing on. QoS as mentioned above. I am sure other people will have other great options also. just my $0.02. Dan Ryan___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
Re: [Soekris] Huawei E612 3G datacard
Hi Felix, Long weekend, thanks for the reply. I haven´t OpenBSD yet. I will let you know how I do. Many thanks, darbin Felix Kronlage wrote: On Monday 21 May 2007 14:56:11 darbin wrote: Hi Darbin, I am looking at making a 3G/WIFI router. I have a Huawei E612 3G datacard and a net4521, has anybody gotten that card working? I've gotten the E618 and E620 to work just fine with OpenBSD. Both are supported by our ubsa(4) driver. Either the E612 should work and if not, we can try to hook it to the ubsa driver as well. Have you tried the card with OpenBSD yet? felix ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
Re: [Soekris] Sandisk SDCFX-2048 in 4801
As DMA mode worked for you but Ultra-DMA mode did not, I would try to keep DMA mode enabled in the wd driver. That might be faster, or at least less CPU intensive, than PIO mode. Someone who cares to look at the spec can tell you if the unwired lines are relevant to DMA, Ultra-DMA, or both.

If you have an older board then you will need to tell the ATA driver to disable DMA, as it will detect that the disk support DMA but don't know it's not wired In OpenBSD, you do this with flags to the wd(4) driver. You can edit a kernel which is already built using the -e option to config(8); $ config -e -o newkernel bsd OpenBSD 4.1-current (GENERIC) #126: Mon May 7 12:43:41 MDT 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC Enter 'help' for information ukc change wd 42 wd* at wdc*|pciide* channel -1 flags 0x0 change [n] y channel [-1] ? flags [0] ? 0x0ff0 42 wd* changed 42 wd* at wdc*|pciide* channel -1 flags 0xff0 ukc quit If you build your own custom kernel, you can change this in the configuration file. The flags value I show here, 0x0ff0, disables DMA and UltraDMA and uses whichever PIO mode the device claims to support. Thanks Stuart, Graham, Rod and Soren! I didn't realize my board was not current. I really appreciate all your help.

It seems like a great idea, but unfortunately I was not able to get it to work using DMA without Ultra-DMA. I'll try again next weekend...

Dan I use m0n0wall on a 48xx as a firewall and traffic shaper - it has really easy to configure shaping rules, works great.
