I'm also interested, but am as worried as others are here at the potential for IP addressing overlap that this device presents: you need to talk to it by browsing or telnetting to 192.168.1.1 which may not be an option on devices that already have this address and/or subnet active on another interface.

Re: [Soekris] PCI ADSL modem.
I use a pulsar ADSL modem with IPCop and a net4801. It works just fine. If I understand their new ADSL 2+ offering it is connected to the host system via a normal ethernet interface. The settings are done via some web interface. So I would have thought it would work with BSD as well.

Re: [Soekris] PCI ADSL modem.
When I was in talks with Pulsar technical support, they offered to replace my original Pulsar with a ADSL2+ one when they released them, they believed that as it used a Realtek chipset it would already be supported under *BSD - but they could not confirm if this was the case or not at the time. Perhaps I should chase them for that replacement now they have released the ADSL2+ product and see if it works?

Re: [Soekris] PCI ADSL modem.
Hi, I use a Bewan PCI ADSL card on a linux/4801 firewall box (in the UK). Not sure what the OpenBSD support is like though.

Re: [Soekris] PCI ADSL modem.
I bought a Traverse Pulsar ADSL PCI card my my net4801, but never managed to get it working. I emailed Traverse before buying it and the promised FreeBSD and OpenBSD support, whilst some drivers did appear they were very unstable, I had some back and forth with technical support but they never managed to resolve it - the drivers were originally developed by a contractor I believe who was no longer with them. Whilst they did try and I appreciate that, it never really was enough. Taking a look at their website, it seems to be that their are no updates to their drivers since I last tried - 2005. I see also that they have a new PCI ADSL2+ card out and that they are NOT offering FreeBSD/OpenBSD drivers for this. I do not know of any other ADSL cards that are supported under OpenBSD, it seems a glaring omission to me. Thanks Adam.

OpenBSD doesn't support any PCI ADSL cards, I think most people are using a separate ethernet or occasionally USB router or modem. Despite common knowledge, PPPoE is fine for IPStream connections. It doesn't work on Tiscali LLU though. ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
Re: [Soekris] PCI ADSL modem.
Hmmm. I thought earlier I remembered Sangoma doing BSD drivers for their ADSL products, but that they were hideously expensive (2005) but when I checked this page (earlier before replying) http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-freebsd-drivers right at the bottom it seems to say that the S518 is not supported?!?

The only PCI ADSL modem I know of that directly supports non-Windows hosts is the Sangoma S518 - ironic that a Google search for 'minipci adsl' gives its first result as a posting on this list from 2003, discussing much the same thing. What I don't know is whether it'll play nicely with the 3.3v signalling on the 5501 - they say they support 3.3v, but on a 64-bit interface. Looks like the Wanpipe drivers are provided for both Linux and FreeBSD, so if they don't compile on OpenBSD chances are it wouldn't be an extremely difficult port. ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech -- Adam Retter Software Pimp Extraordinaire ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
Re: [Soekris] PCI ADSL modem.
Hmmm. I thought earlier I remembered Sangoma doing BSD drivers for their ADSL products, but that they were hideously expensive (2005) Depends on what you call expensive - I think $130 is awfully high (enough to keep me out), but not hideously so. I must clarify - in spite of being familiar with their existence, I've never used them, but not for lack of desire; I just haven't been able to justify a single card when a PPoE connection suffices for my needs. but when I checked this page (earlier before replying) http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-freebsd-drivers right at the bottom it seems to say that the S518 is not supported?!? My cursory reading missed that, and it is curiously in contrast with the comments about the S518 in their ChangeLog. Since I was only searching for '518' in the CL, at first I thought they may have dropped the S-series with their 3.x release. However, release 3.2.0 on January 14 2008 clearly states Fix support for S-series cards. I think the wiki is out of date. ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
