Since FreeBSD seams to be having problems with my Orinoco card it though I
would give OpenBSD 2.9 a try. So far so good. I managed to get it
installed and networking up. I even got all the orinoco stuff configured
and up. I'm now sucesfully passing packets wirelessly.
A couple things I have noticed, there is no Handbook. Is there a handbook
equivliant for OpenBSD? It's just so useful.
Where is the ports tree? I looked in /usr/ports but nothing. Is this an
option I missed during setup? I tried to install everything but xwindows,
maybe I missed it?
I'm interested in it routing packets and doing natd for any 802.11b
devices that might be in the area and need an internet connection. I'm
starting work on IPNAT but how do I got about getting the routing
up? Heres my situation:
Interweb via DSL /======= SUZUKA + MELFINA
| | Girlfriend's Debian and Win2k Box
\ |
--- GILLIAM ----------Switch
FreeBSD running |------- SWANZO
natd to share ip | My Win2k Gaming Box

/------------------------/

LAYLINE >>>)))))wireless link))))))) Misc Clients who need Internet
OpenBSD machine )
with wireless nic )
)
) Directonal Antenna Linking to my
friend's house on a seperate
subnet
I would like the clients on the wierd network to still hit GILLIAM as
their default gateway but I want GILLIAM to route all packets destin to my
friends subnet to LAYLINE who would then broadcast them wirelessly to my
friends house where he will have to worry about distributing them.
Is this posible?
BTW, thanks for all the help with the FreeBSD problem I was having but
after spending /all day/ on the issue I know it's beyond me.
Thanks in advance.
