USR 8054 as a bridge?
This is partly off-topic except that my LAN consists of 2, sometimes 3 OpenBSD machines. I've got a little LAN sharing a dial-up modem. I'm running pf, doing NAT to 192.168.0.0/24, running DHCP serving up the IP, gateway, DNS server addresses, all that's working fine. Along comes a Kindle Fire which is helpless without WiFi, so I need to make a WiFi access point. Of the 4 wireless cards I've got, the ones that are supported by OpenBSD can't be access points (according to their drivers' man pages). I've got a US Robotics 8054 WiFi router (it was free) which I'd like to hang off my LAN somehow, except that's not quite what it was made for. The 8054's got its own internal DHCP server (which can be turned off). When I use it, it doesn't seem to be passing the gateway and DHCP server addresses along to the Kindle, just an IP address from its pool. It also wants to be a router/firewall. I can go into the Kindle's WiFi settings and manually enter a gateway and DHCP server addresses (since I know them on my own network). The last time I got a chance to connect to a public WiFi for an hour, it took me 45 minutes to figure out that it was applying my manual settings to every potential WiFi network, which of course didn't work. My goal is to get my WiFi access point working as much like public ones as possible. If I could configure the 8054 to do that, or else just use it as a dumb bridge between my LAN and wireless that would be great. I haven't tried setting up a formal bridge device in /etc but I've spent 3 days trying about everything else I can think of. I'm not too concerned about security since I've already got pf running on the internet side and I'm in a rural area. The 8054 can be secured by WEP, WPA, MAC address limiting, plus I can just unplug it when I'm not using it. Knowing how to tell what's being passed by a DHCP server would also help. The Kindle's not a very good diagnostic tool. Thanks, Alan, AB1JX

I've installed ekiga from packages and I don't have the Gnome desktop installed. Is it ok to run ekiga without entire Gnome desktop installed?

When I use it, it doesn't seem to be passing the gateway and DHCP server addresses along to the Kindle, just an IP address from its pool. ON your OpenBSD machine running pf, it sounds like you have 2 ethernet cards (one connected to Internet, one connected to your local network which you are NAT'ing to). Plug the internally-facing ethernet into the 8054 WiFi router (router as the client), configure it to use the same subnet as your internal ethernet card, and run everything (wifi and wired) through this router, with your usual NAT setup. It should not matter that your machines (kindles or whatever) are getting an IP address in a different range (via DHCP from your 8054), the wifi router will forward them on to your firewall/pf regardless.
dhcpd sync and carp
Hi, I have two obsd machines running OpenBSD 4.9 STABLE and CARP for failover. Each machine has 3 interfaces: sk1(external) sk0(internal) em0(sync) em0 has a direct cable connecting the two machines. Both machines use exactly the same dhcpd.conf file to serv IP addresses on sk0. I have set skip on em0 set skip on lo0 on both sides. I use dhcpd_flags=-y em0 -Y em0 sk0 For some reason, I think dhcpd is not synchronizing the leases. Although I see this kind of messages in the logs of both firewalls, I cannot see the packets being sent or received. dhcpd[13353]: sending DHCP_SYNC_LEASE for hw 00:26:e8:78:49:db - ip a.b.c.d, start 1332327048, end 1332334248 But I see pfsync messages going through the em0 iface, like the one below: 07:53:55.380578 00:22:64:89:67:6a 01:00:5e:00:00:f0 0800 1486: 10.1.1.1 224.0.0.240: PFSYNCv6 len 1452 B B act UPD ST COMP count 17 B B ...

Re: dhcpd sync and carp
Hi again, Is it possible that the dhcp sync messages are not being sent/received through the sync iface (em0) because the Ip address associated with this iface is not in the same subnet of the IP addresses of the dhcpd servers? Should I be able to view the sync packets on the lo0 iface? kind regards, Jose.
responding to buttonpress ACPI event sent by KVM/Qemu
Hello, I'm trying to get a v5.0 system newly installed in a VM running on Debian v6 am64 (squeeze) to respond properly when I execute virsh shutdown GUEST, which apparently sends an ACPI power-button-press event to the guest. I have acpi configured for the guest. Currently, when I run the command, the guest hangs totally. All interactive sessions, including console are frozen, and the guest stops answering pings. It's not clear from the acpi(4) manpage what mechanism is/should be invoked for this event, and what can be, or must be, configured for it to work. thanks, Robert Urban

Re: dhcpd sync and carp
Your system is probably not configured for multicast. Try 'route delete 224/4'. If it helps, set multicast_host=YES in rc.conf.local and reboot. This should probably be mentioned in the manual for dhcpd/spamd. This isn't required for pfsync/carp and some of the routing daemons which specifically set an interface using IP_MULTICAST_IF.

The rest of your network isn't described in your email and I don't know this particular device, but usually to bypass the 'router' functions you would want to disable internal dhcp on the wifi router, and connect the *LAN* side of the wifi router to your network somehow. Either via a normal switch port on your lan, or (safer) to a different interface on a firewall with a separate address range so it can segregated. Knowing how to tell what's being passed by a DHCP server would also help. The Kindle's not a very good diagnostic tool. How about trying to connect an OpenBSD box with a wifi card to the access point? You could run tcpdump to see what packets are flowing.
