AB> Well i mean that in LRP 2.9.8 you have only the settings in the network.conf
(e.g. IF0_IFNAME=...) and not functions defined like in Dachstein.
I find this confusing. i have only "real config files" as network.conf and
network_direct.conf and all the shell script stuff in /etc/init.d/network.
But thats caused by the base (LRP 2.9.8) too...
Is it now clearer ??

AB> Sounds nice. i am dreaming of that since half a year, but i could not get
the needed binary to compile with uClibc (i needed isdnutils and especially
the ipsec stuff and iptables. Did not get this to work). And i do not want
to use any Firewall systems with kernel 2.2, 2.4 is so much easier and
cooler for the way i design my rules...

yep, sound good.

Are you planning to upgrade to a new busybox version ?? It works o.k. for me
(including bb ifconfig and bb route and even ash). If you would use even
init and syslogd from bb root.lrp gets quite small, and i think the
functionality is o.k for a router , or am i wrong ??
