Current version: 1.2 - May, 11 2003

  • 2.4.20 kernel patched with the latest grsecurity patch (1.9.9h). UPX must now be used with the -f flag to compress the kernel.

  • 2.4.20 kernel patched with ebtables(V2.0.003) and last br-nf(V0.0.10) patch. The ebtables.lrp package provides the ebtables userland program which is used to make filtering rules for a Linux-based Ethernet bridge. You will have to remove Shorewall from your configuration if you want to use this facility. This is untested. I would really appreciate some feedback!

  • Shorewall updated to latest version 1.4.2

  • Superfreeswan (1.99.6.2 version) now provided in lieu of freeswan. It is the 1.99 version of freeswan patched for x509 support (0.9.28 version), NAT-traversal (0.5a) and Notification/delete patches from Mathieu Lafon and crypto patches from JJ Ciarlante. Jeff Newmiller deserves a special thanks for helping me to have the userland programs compiled under debian/slink !

  • bug in /etc/bin/df corrected: arguments were ignored.

  • pump.lrp updated to version 0.8.14-2

  • /etc/pump.shorewall modified. It does not start Shorewall anymore since /etc/init.d/shorewall is doing it.

  • pcmcia.lrp updated to version 3.2.4

  • New pcmcia_hostap.lrp and pcmcia_wlan.lrp packages to be used as a replacement of pcmcia.lrp for an easy configuration of your pcmcia cards in hostap mode or using the Prism2 wlan-ng driver. Do not forget to rename it pcmcia.lrp after download!

  • iptables.lrp updated to version 1.2.8

  • ulogd.lrp updated to version 1.0

  • sysklogd now starts from /etc/rcS.d. Otherwise initial pump output was not logged to debug. As a consequence hostname.sh is also being started in /etc/rcS.d

  • New devices now created: par[0,..,2], lp[0,..,2], ttySLT and net/tun

  • A minor bug has been corrected in the conf file of bridge.lrp

  • Host AP drivers for Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 from http://hostap.epitest.fi updated with the latest 0.0.2 version (4 May 2003). They are in the Bering modules directory

  • Drivers for Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 from http://www.linux-wlan.org uptaded to version 0.1.16 and are avalailable in the Bering modules directory.

  • New wlan-ng.lrp package for an easy configuration of wlan interfaces from the /etc/interfaces file.

  • New wireless.lrp package for an easy configuration of wireless interfaces from the /etc/interfaces file.

  • Atmel drivers (version 2.1.1) are now provided.

  • New chapters in the user's guide:

    Thanks for these contributions!
