I'd like to know what you had to do, perhaps I can get it to work with the 2.0 kernel in the current version of STN. If not, I can be sure to add it as an option in the next version. Yes, I know I keep threatening a new version of STN and to date no new version has seen the light of day. That will change in the next few months (really!), I've actually done a lot of work related to STN recently, and am laying the groundwork for a really great new version. Just so everyone doesn't think I've died or dropped off the face of the earth, here is what I've been working on in the last year: - A Linux based IPSEC router based on Free/SWAN. It works just great and has some super features especially useful to ASPs, but I currently don't have a distribution scheme for it. I can't fit it on a floppy diskette (it's about 5meg), so a STN style distribution probably won't work. - Another Linux based router for a large networking company based on the ARM7. - I've been writing a book called Embedded Linux for New Rider's publishing. It's due 2nd quarter next year -- you can actually see it on Amazon.com already. - An embedded Linux build environment called the Embedded Linux Workshop. It will be part of the book. - An article for LinuxDevices.com on a great little box that actually would work well as a STN box. Check it out at http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT6003080606.html - A follow-up article that describes how to use the DiskOnChip that comes included with the above box. All this while working as a full time software engineer at a company only marginally involved in Linux! A new version of STN will be available soon, if David is able to provide details on how to allow IPSEC pass-thru, then that will be part of it.
