Dear All.

I use LRP to build a client-side wireless router.
As long as I remember, i did it for up to 70 box of it.

I made several modification to LRP. (Base on DACHSTEIN):

1. Adding wavelan module
2. Adding 2 additional menu to LRCFG main menu :
2.1 Run a script let user do "universal basic configuration". 
Effect to :
        - Hostname, Location, Contact
        - Wired IF ip addr/mask
        - Wirless IF ip addr/mask
        - Default gateway
        - Wireless IF SSID, Enc.Key, TransmitKey
2.2 Run "WAVEMON" (taken from : http://www.jm-
music.de/projects.html)
     It'll help users in outdoor antenna alignment
3. Lastest modification :
    - extend the net-snmp.lrp to reporting wavelan 
Signal/Noise level, parsed from /proc/net/wireless

Honey and poison taste :

A. Honey :
1. No need to open many file just for basic configuration
2. Reducing miss-type risk
3. using MRTG u can get Signal/Noise history
4. Antenna Alignment make easy

B. poison :
1. Less Flexible deployment
2. the modified net-snmp.lrp can't used under etc.lrp 
packages other then mine
3. Over write any content of /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and 
network.opts by my universal configuration script.
4. Over write any content of snmpd.conf by my universal 
configuration script. (Any andditional SNMP configuration 
have to be write to /etc/snmpd.bak)
4. Need 3 mb disk and 16 mb RAM
5. Dirty codes everywhere.

Question:
1. Is it violate LEAF spirit ?
2. Can I host  my file  at leaf.sourceforge.net to share it 
with others ? How ?


Sincerely
