[leaf-user] Wireless IPSec network ideas

2003-02-09 Thread Henry Psenicka
Chris.. What you propose is likely do-able--- some of it fairly straightforward, other parts more complex. Trying to support a wireless client as well as a router/firewall from the same wireless interface could be troublesome. Note that we used Orinoco 802.11b adapters, which would not be suita

Brock, We have been using the Orinoco 8.10 firmware with RH7.2, as well as Bering Beta4 and RC2 without any problems related to the firmware (that we know of). We do not use power management features, so I can't offer suggestions in that regard, but I am curious why you would want it. In our ca

Greg Before you take the leap into wireless, do your homework to make sure you want to go down that path. You may be challenged by a number of issues, and it can get expensive to deal with some of them ( antennas, security, etc..) With that general caveat, my comments are inline with yours DA

Kory... I went through the same thing about a week ago. Assuming that you are using the floppy-disk version of Dachstein rather than Dachstein-CD, the problem exists because the Dachstein-small kernel on the floppy doesn't have serial support rolled into it. Download one of the available Dachst

Hi Jacques. I appreciate your ongoing efforts to move LEAF to 2.4.x kernel! I have begun to experiment with Bering (b3) to attempt to build a router that can support a wireless pcmcia interface using the orinoco_cs driver. The end product should be strictly routing with firewall ( no NAT), and a
