Hi,

Thanks for the speedy reply.

I have a list of things that I want to do.

1. Install (modify if necessary) the Soekris error LED driver.
2. Develop a Cisco IOS like interface for config.
3. Add MAC based bandwidth management.
4. Add protocol blocking to config
5. Remote interface/cpe stats to remote server
6. Serial based bin file update.
7. Network based bin file update.
8. Some type of antenna alignment feedback strategy.

Actually that brings up another question. Shouldn't I be able to prepare a
binary image of the readonly portion of the flash and update it on the fly
while wisp-dist is running?

Thanks,
Gerry

Module errors? No.

Actually you don't have to build them at all if you don't want to
modify them.

Can you tell me what you want to be done? This is the easiest way to
approach the problem.

only required if you have changed something
