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.
That's a pretty exhaustive list. It would be a shame not to unite efforts.
I'm slowly working on a full source-build system. I hope to have it running by Christmas. Are you interested to participate?
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?
I'm afraid this is impossible, you have to unmount existing partition in order to mount a new one, which means that you have to stop all the programs.
Thanks, Gerry

Hi,
First let me say... Thanks very much for your help. I feel like I'm trying to drink from a fire hose!
1. Does this happen in your build? I'm using the src-kernel-2.4.20.tar.gz from your site.
Module errors? No.
2. I've got a Soekris 4521 and the Netgate(Senaou) 200mW PCMCIA card.
3. Can I just install the latest uClibc distro?
4. There are 3 busybox directories (***-boot, ***-dyn, ***-min). Do I need to build all of these?
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.
5. I'm trying to understand the proper sequence for building an image.
a) build kernel b) build modules c) populate modules d) build user-progs
only required if you have changed something
e) mount-wcpe f) prepare-image g) unmount-wcpe
Is this correct?
Thanks Again, Gerry

1. I've been able to compile the kernel and modules (2.4.20), but when I
do
a "make modules_install" I get the following unresolved symbols. Any suggestions?
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/mtd/maps/sc520cdp.o
mtd_concat_destroy and mtd_concat_create
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/net/wan/comx.o
Though I don't know what's causing that, I believe they can be ignored.
/lib/modules/2.4.20/pcmcia/host_apcs.o
register_pccard_driver, unregister_pccard_driver, and CardServices
I am building from the ..../linux-dist directory
Can you tell me what do you run exactly? Note that built-in kernel PCMCIA is not used, pcmcia-cs-3.2.3 is used instead.
2. When I try to build busybox I get errors related to uClibc. Is that
what
it's supposed to link against or do I need to point the makefile to the libraries installed in the root_fs_woody file system?
uClibc-based busybox is used only for initial boot in initrd. If you want to change something, you have to install uClibc. Please note that it doesn't have anything common with other uClibc-based LEAF variants.
