Martin; I think your and your colleagues efforts aren't waisted: firewall# apkg -l initrd26 root 4.0 Rev 0 uClibc 0.9.28 config 0.6 Rev 8 uClibc 0.9.28 etc 4.0 Rev 0 uClibc 0.9.28 modules 2.6.x Rev 0 uClibc 0.9.28 iptables 1.4.0 Rev 0 uClibc 0.9.28 ppp 2.4.4 Rev 3 uClibc 0.9.28 pppoe 2.4.4 Rev 2 uClibc 0.9.28 keyboard 1.1 Rev 2 uClibc 0.9.28 shorwall 3.4.7 Rev 1 uClibc 0.9.28 ulogd 1.24 Rev 6 uClibc 0.9.28 dnsmasq 2.40 Rev 1 uClibc 0.9.28 dropbear 0.50 Rev 3 uClibc 0.9.28 mhttpd 1.19 Rev 6 uClibc 0.9.28 openntpd 3.9p1 Rev 3 uClibc 0.9.28 webconf 1.1.3 Rev 3 uClibc 0.9.28 configdb moddb firewall# uname -a Linux firewall 2.6.24.2 #1 Sun Feb 17 14:31:32 CET 2008 i586 unknown firewall# ping leaf.sourceforge.net PING leaf.sourceforge.net (66.35.250.209): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 66.35.250.209: seq=0 ttl=53 time=220.237 ms 64 bytes from 66.35.250.209: seq=1 ttl=53 time=250.771 ms This is a lot more, than I expected from the first alpha version! I had to add two more netfilter modules to get shorewall running (xt_limit, xt_TCPMSS), but anything else was out of the box. So you provided a good base to develop a 2.6 versin further to production quality. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
