Hmmm. How was the additional package installed? And of course, it is easier to do it this `new' way, but I'm just wondering what went wrong that it wasn't working with the old firmware. I guess the manual way should work fine with the new firmware as well, so it'll be good to have a fallback, in case something goes wrong with the dnsmasq way. Then again, the problem is in getting it to work manually. -- ---------------------------------------- Mrugesh Karnik GPG Key 0xBA6F1DA8 Public key on http://wwwkeys.pgp.net ----------------------------------------
