Hi Grant,

I run Kamikaze 7.09 since more than a year on a Meraki and never had issues with port forwarding (iptables), although I always used my own iptables script to manage the firewall on my device (I was too lazy to read the explanation for kamikazes custom file format for iptables). I also never had problems with DynDNS updates, I just wrote a small script that uses updatedd. The script is in the attachment. I added a cron-job for it (every 2 minutes). Regarding bridging interop I have no experience whatsoever.

Cheers,

Georg

I've been running White-Russian on my Buffalo HWR-HP-54G
Linksys WRT54GL for a couple years.  My WAP/NAT-firewall is a
Buffalo.  I've got two bridges: one a Buffalo and the other the
Linksys.  They've been working fine except for two somewhat
annoying problems:

 1) I could never get the dyndns update feature to work.  As a
    work-around, I run a dyndns updater on one of my other
    machines.

 2) If all three are powered on at the same time, the two
    bridges will never connect to the WAP.  The only way either
    bridge will connect is if the WAP is already up and running
    when the bridges are powered up.

Power-failure season is approaching, and the no-reconnect
problem can be pretty annoying when I'm not at home to reset
the two bridges.

I was hoping that upgrading to Kamakaze might fix one or both
problems, but from what I've seen in the forums, Kamakaze isn't
quite ready for prime-time yet.  As recently as a few days ago,
people were still testing an experimental patch that was
required to get port-forwarding to work.  Port-forwarding is a
feature I use daily, and it has always worked flawlessly with
White Russian.

Is there any reason to believe that Kamikaze will fix problems
1 and 2 above?
Since I can't afford to lose port-forwarding, I guess it's a
moot question until Kamikaze gets the kinks worked out...
