to the soundcard (/dev/dsp). 
2 Every second, check the current position. If the stream has been running for

filter's cutoff frequency by 500Hz.

Print chain operator status info.

Hi,

I had this and masked v2. Actually, this is IMO not a bug because you 
can't slot two gnupg installations. You must chose between 1.x stable 
lightweight and 2.x branch. Don't hesitate to take a look at the gnupg 
website ;)


Sincerely,

[gentoo-user] Gentoo router for multiple ISPs?

2008-04-12 Thread Mark Knecht
Hi all,
   I need to get a second ISP line into the house. I currently have a
cable modem but it goes down once in a while and my work requires
higher reliability so I was thinking of getting a DSL line to
supplement it. I'd like to investigate creating some sort of
firewall/router that could do the following:

1) Load balance between the two lines during the day. I get download
speeds of about 6Mb/S from my current Cable Modem and supposedly about
3Mb/S from the DSL. I'd like to get something like 8-9Mb/S aggregate
from the two together if possible.

2) I need rules that keep certain machines off of the cable modem
during specific hours.

3) I MUST have some sort of AUTOMATIC switch over such that if one
line goes down the second line takes over and runs everything while at
the same time informing me that a line is down. This machine must be
able to test, once a minute or faster, that both lines are up and take
action immediately if something is wrong. It must then correct if the
down line comes back up.

4) I can either use this same machine as a firewall or I can simply
hook it to my existing LinkSys since I'll still need wireless to get
around the house. I figure I'll run the LinkSys inside this Gentoo
machine anyway. I figure I'll want a firewall on this machine since it
will be directly on the net anyway.

   Are features like this available in some sort of package from portage?

   Note that I'd be perfectly happy buying some box for less than
$100-$200 that could do all of this automatically but I haven't found
one yet.

Thanks,
Mark

Re: [gentoo-user][SOLVED] python - *** glibc detected ***

[gentoo-user] Hard crash starting wifi in master mode (am desperate)

2008-04-12 Thread Grant
I'm trying to move my network's router/AP functions to a different
system.  Whenever I start the madwifi card in master mode in the new
system the whole system locks up hard, although the CD tray still
opens.  There is nothing in /var/log/*, the keyboard LEDs do not
flash, and I've tried 2.6.23-hardened-r7 and 2.6.23-hardened-r9.  The
old system works just fine with the card in master mode.  The old
system is x86 and the new one is amd64.

I've been working on this router move for about 8 hours straight.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the response.

I wonder if BGP4 would be supported inside of an ISP's network? It
seems to be more of a spec than a product. I'm not really reading in
any depth. Just sort of scanning around

I don't understand SCTP yet but it seems spec oriented instead of
being a piece of software.

  I'm glad you posted this question, as my situation is slightly
  different (single static IP currently) on a cable modem, but

Well, I have a single IP right now but I did order the DSL line today.
If nothing else it will sit here unused and only get plugged in when
the cable modem  line is down. That's pretty brute force

I found a couple of threads about using a FreeBSD firewall called ipfw
but the little bit of checking I did didn't show it in portage.

I'm curious as to whether ipchains or something like that could do
most of this. Even if it was just hooked up to both ISPs and I had to
flip a software switch to go between them at least I wouldn't have to
run around much to get the change enabled. I'm very sure with ipchains
I could send the game traffic out on the DSL line and reserve cable
modem for my work most of the time.

Just thinking...

Mark

Hi all,
   I need to get a second ISP line into the house. I currently have a
cable modem but it goes down once in a while and my work requires
higher reliability so I was thinking of getting a DSL line to
supplement it. I'd like to investigate creating some sort of
firewall/router that could do the following:


1. Load balancing is easy.  Just read up on it.  http://lartc.org/ is a 
good start.  Basically, you will have to modify your iptables and 
routing table rules.


2. Check the time extension of iptables.  Also many services and daemons 
have in built facility for day and time based access control. For 
example xinetd offers data and time based access control.  You might 
want to go that route depending on what service you want to control.


3. Automatic failover is the hard part.  AFAIK, Linux can determine if 
the next hop is down and do automatic switch over.  But if you have a 
problem further down the line, kernel won't detect it.  For DSL, you 
might want to use your modem as a bridge and connect directly with PPP 
to your ISP so that you can detect if the link goes down (that seems to 
be most common case).  I do not know if the same is possible with cable 
modems as I have not used one in a long time.  Another alternative is to 
run a cron job that pings a certain host(s) on the internet and 
depending on the result adjusts the routing the table accordingly.

1) Load balance between the two lines during the day. I get download
speeds of about 6Mb/S from my current Cable Modem and supposedly about
3Mb/S from the DSL. I'd like to get something like 8-9Mb/S aggregate
from the two together if possible.

2) I need rules that keep certain machines off of the cable modem
during specific hours.

3) I MUST have some sort of AUTOMATIC switch over such that if one
line goes down the second line takes over and runs everything while at
the same time informing me that a line is down. This machine must be
able to test, once a minute or faster, that both lines are up and take
action immediately if something is wrong. It must then correct if the
down line comes back up.

4) I can either use this same machine as a firewall or I can simply
hook it to my existing LinkSys since I'll still need wireless to get
around the house. I figure I'll run the LinkSys inside this Gentoo
machine anyway. I figure I'll want a firewall on this machine since it
will be directly on the net anyway.

   Are features like this available in some sort of package from portage?

   Note that I'd be perfectly happy buying some box for less than
$100-$200 that could do all of this automatically but I haven't found
one yet.

Thanks,
Mark
