Hello,

 

I just subscribe, and first I must send my best grettings to the M0n0wall
coders & the community.

 

 

Here is my experiments :

I have an Openbrick running Smoothwall, witch need a lot of patching to run
nice the Openbrick hardware.

I plan to use M0n0wall instead of Smoothwall, because it is really matching
100% of my requirements features, without patching everything to get it
(dns, traffic shaper etc.). But.

 

The reminning problem for my case is the PCMCIA. I must use an ethernet
PCCARD, because my Openbrick have a single ETH card onboard.

 

So, my first think was to install another box with the minimal ISO of the
FreeBSD 5.3, download last beta version of M0nowall to uncompress & modify
the config of the PCCARD part.

I have add the following lines to the /etc/pccard.conf :

# Linksys EtherFast 10/100 Intergrated PC Card (PCM100)

card "Linksys" "EtherFast 10/100 Integrated PC Card (PCM100)"

        config  auto "ed" ? 0x80000

        insert  /etc/pccard_ether $device start

        remove  /etc/pccard_ether $device stop

 

Usually this is enougth to run the Linksys PCCARD I have.

 

But the problem is that the PCMCIA chipset doesn't seems to be initialized
correctly. The leds on the PCMCIA cards doesn't flash at all when I
insert/remove the card.

 

My PCMCIA chipset is a Cirrus Logic PD672X. It is compatible & run under
Linux with the config for a chipset named i82365. All those chipset are
supported from the FreeBSD kernel since years.

 

My question is, how can I said to the M0n0wall kernel to look for this
chipset, because it seems the autodetect isn't manage to achive. I'm no so
easy under FreeBSD.

 

Another point, with 1 single ethernet card, is there a way to setup the LAN
interface of M0n0wall, to get the boot logs ? For the moment I work < blind
> without logs from the box. As it always ask me to setup first the WAN
interface...

 

 

Thanx for the support.

 

Philippe.
