G'day from OZ, newbie chirp. I desire to use a satellite incoming link with phone line outgoing. You're forced to do this sort of stuff downunder. I'm not sure this is a real development thing but I'll contribute a "howto" at least when done. I've seen 3 or 4 queries with a similar request whilst I've been watching the list but no responses. Has anyone out there achieved this ?. Pipe up now or put up with the dullard questions. There's definitely a base of users seeking this (3-4 questions say so).
Basically the Sat card has published drivers for kernels 2.2.14 thru 2.2.17 - the card is Telemann Skymedia 200D (it's one of two for which I can find Linux drivers). This encompasses the e-smith 4.1.2 kernel (stable and I'm more than happy with it - 'twas NT based stuff before that). First question to the knowledgeable dudes - I'm going to run it up on a new machine with SME-5 can I expect these drivers to work or should I skip the issue and stick with 4.1.2 ? (if so I bail now and forever hold my peace). After the satellite card NIC is up all I need is all incoming via it and all outgoing via the phone line NIC. The source IP of all outgoing should be the Satellite NIC IP. The dumb questions are: Where do I set it up to listen on the Satellite NIC ? (or will it find it after the driver is installed) Where do I set the source IP for the machine (diald.conf ?, or at least the custom template) ? Given the machine ends up with 3 NIC's (ether, sat and modem) how does it know which is "out" etc ? If these are really stupid questions, please point me at the root of the knowledge and I'll read from there. I will try and present the solution back to the "crew" so as to avoid more questions on the topic. Peter Lambert, definite advocate but a home user. PS if someone knows of anyone who's already achieved this or you think this is the wrong place for the question please point (to them or single digit skywards). -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
