Many Thanks for the great improvements, as allways! Do you know of any case options for the pcengines boards? I'm very interested in an 'all european m0n0wall' ;-) Regards, Joachim -----Original Message----- From: Manuel Kasper [mailto:mk at neon1 dot net] Sent: donderdag 30 oktober 2003 22:20 To: m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch Subject: [m0n0wall] Status report Just so you all know I'm not dead or completely immersed in my studies: I have just succeeded in converting m0n0wall to FreeBSD 4.9. Sounds easy, but due to the countless patches and tweaks required (not to mention the various platforms that each need different kernels and bootloaders), it isn't all that easy. :) The next things I'll tackle are finally integrating Petr Verner's more-advanced advanced outbound NAT [tm] ;) patch as well as Bruce A. Mah's filtering bridge patches (did I make any further promises?). Bruce has figured out the cause of the problem that made me use ng_bridge instead of BRIDGE in the first place, so we're now ready to throw out ng_bridge altogether. Since filtered bridging is quite an advanced feature, there will probably be a knob on the advanced setup page to enable it. Yes, Bruce, I reconsidered enabling it by default and decided against it. :) The reason? I figured that many (if not most) people would use bridging to create a wireless access point bridged with LAN, and filtering there would harm performance (overhead of filtering, tons of state table entries created even with a pass all rule, etc.). Besides, such a knob (while not an especially beautiful solution, I agree, but so what...) will preserve backward compatibility with respect to config.xml. Complaints may be sent to /dev/null. ;) Besides, an official m0n0wall image for a new platform will be released: the Wireless Router Application Platform from PC Engines (www.pcengines.ch)! This will be an alternative to Soekris-based systems (especially the net4801, as the specifications are very similar). I have successfully tested m0n0wall on two beta boards and must say that I'm very satisfied with them - excellent stability, "just works". Production boards are expected to ship in January. Now you can finally have an all Swiss made (well, designed at least) firewall... ;) Greets, Manuel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: m0n0wall dash unsubscribe at lists dot m0n0 dot ch For additional commands, e-mail: m0n0wall dash help at lists dot m0n0 dot ch ----------------------------------------------- MISSION STATEMENT ----------------------------------------------- Oce enables its customers to manage their documents efficiently and effectively by offering innovative print and document management products and services for professional environments. ----------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER ----------------------------------------------- This e-mail message and any attachment are intended for the sole use of the recipient(s) named above and may contain information which is confidential and/or protected by intellectual property rights.
