A friend has run LEAF on 486 WRAP boxes for several years, which I set up for him. I recently upgraded his WRAP router to Bering 5.0.1 from 4.3. His system is on a cable network.
He ran a speed test repeatedly before and after switching the system to 5.0.1. I know this is not a lab test, but his speed tests (as run internally on a windows box) increased from about 7mb/sec to 11 mb/sec on the new version. The new kernel seems to be more efficient at routing?? A couple other comments. I have never been able to get a wireless AP to run on a 486 WRAP box. I can see the wireless network. It interminably says connecting - without doing so. The exact same hostapd configuration on a PC Engines ALIX GEODE works just fine. Has anyone got hostapd to work on a 486 (WRAP) system? I also have trouble finding 64mb or 128mb compact flashes that will boot on either WRAP or ALIX. I use UCLIB 5.0 isolinux booted on a laptop to fdisk the CFs, erase partitions, set up a primary partition (c FAT32), make it bootable, mkfs.vfat and syslinux -s the CF. I have six CFs that work in windows but won't boot from syslinux even though I use the usb_wait=3 and libata.dma=3 on the APPEND line on syslinux.cfg Any suggestions on where to get reliable CFs or what I am doing wrong.
