[Soekris] vpn1411 in a net4801 with FreeBSD

2007-12-10 Thread Mark Hartley
I've got a number of soekris 4801s (and now some 5501s) that I'm using for vpn devices. They are all running FreeBSD 6.2 for the OS, and I'm using OpenVPN to handle the vpn side of things. (I tried using IPSec, but I couldn't make it work for me since several of the vpn clients have dynamic IP

[Soekris] 5501 disk led does not work any longer

2007-12-10 Thread Jochen Grotepass
After (trying) to fix the net5501 startup freeze as described by Soeren I found that the Disk LED no longer work. Only during the firmware boot it goes on for a second. Than there are no further indication of Disk acitivty - even if the system boots correctly. Has anybody else a similar

[...FreeBSD 6.2...OpenVPN...] My question is whether adding the vpn1411 encryption card will help increase my throughput. I tried it under NetBSD (with a 4801, I think it was) and my experience says it won't. I found that, for OpenVPN's use, the overhead of crossing into the kernel outweighed

[Soekris] Replicating Ethernet LEDs on Net5501

2007-12-10 Thread Jan Reimes
Hi all, Is it possible (with GPIO and/or software e.g.) to get the Ethernet status LEDs (LNK ACT) or its signals to some outer LEDs? I want to place the net5501 board in a bigger case and the ethernet ports are not in the front anymore. And of course, without soldering cables from the

[Soekris] ATA DMA success on net5501?

2007-12-10 Thread Louis Mamakos
I just received a net5501 and am running FreeBSD 6.x (RELENG_6) on it. It has a 1GB CF card, and a 60GB ATA 2.5 IDE disk drive installed. I have problems with FreeBSD booting, hanging just after the probe/attach of the two ATA disks, unless I disable the DMA in / boot/loader.conf:

[Soekris] Dallas temperature sensor chips on the GPIO

2007-12-10 Thread Ralph Becker-Szendy
I spent a few hours this weekend trying to connect some Dallas Semiconductor temperature sensor chips to the GPIO pins on the 5501. The first problem was figuring out the pinout of the GPIO connector (which does NOT match the documentation in the 4801 manual). Once that was solved, the next
