Double check the hostapd one, it has related packages (from same website,

OK, I gave OpenSSL 0.9.8 a try.

A few packages aborted, so I upgraded them one by one to their latest
versions, and now everything compiles.  Packages that I updated are:

  openssl-0.9.8d.tar.gz
  wvdial-1.56.tar.gz
  wvstreams-4.2.2.tar.gz
  hostapd-0.4.9.tar.gz
  perl-ext/Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA-0.23.tar.gz

Shall I upload/commit the changes?

Yeah that's one of the reasons why I want to continue the work on DL 1.3.
Our main focus is on security, it's always hard to balance this with the
features we need...

I thank you for your nice attitude :)

Well if I can be any help please let me know ...

Main reason I am asking about this: I think dl can be a great platform 
for a specific service (samba, or lamp box).

Now I am puzzling how to support well sata disk, that are becoming so 
common.....

Not at the moment. Kernel 2.6 is still changing a lot and still has a lot
of security problems.

0.9.7 for now.
It usually takes a while until every piece of software is compatible with
th new openssl releases.
We could give it a try and see if we can get through a compile with 0.9.8.

There are updates 0.9.8c and 0.9.7k.  We currently have 0.9.7g in DL1.2.

I don't understand the differences between the two versions, and I don't
know why we are running 0.9.7_ instead of the 0.9.8 branch.

Which one do we update to?

I see BIND has been security fixes since I updated it.  So I updated it
again!  :-)

I also see there are security fixes for OpenSSL that we don't have.

And wasn't there a kernel option change we were supposed to make to
allow scanning of all LUN's for card readers (or something like that).
Did that ever get done?

All I can think of off the top of my head.

That's provided we can legally distribute the drivers.  It seems like
SuSE stopped including madwifi support for some reason.  Was it because
of the license or something?

I don't even recall this discussion... ;-)

But anyhow, our main problem is time and hardware. In order to add support
for madwifi somebody actually has to sit down, do it and test it. I'm
extremly busy right now and it doesn't look to great for the others
either. Not to speak of that we don't have any hardware to test with
anyway.

The DL build system is very straight forward, if you're familiar with
linux and compiling sources, then it shouldn't be too hard for you to get
it working.
I'd say give it a try and send in the patches once you got it working. ;-)

Or more likely your hardware.
Check the RAM, let memtest run for a couple hours. Replace the RAM modules
if you have different ones available.

Didn't I check in the changes to get IDE CF disk support working?
What change did you have to perform?

What 'command' are you talking about?

Why do you want to recompile busybox?

We do not support any modifications to DL which do not involve the use of
our build system.

Hallo.

I am new in Devil-linux.

I have two problems I would like to fix I version 1.2.10.

=20

1)

            Some times (1 out of 4) I get a oops (segment failed) from
the kernel in the boot process.

            This happens in initr  : linuxrc line 192  (mount usb).

            This must be a error in busybox 1.1.3 or the kernel.

=20

2)

            I wont to move a iso9660 image to a flash IDE disk.

            I have modified mount_cdrom (in initrd) and the partita ion
is found, but the "command" pre_init (line 400) in linuxrc (in initrd).

=20

I have downloaded the source for busybox 1.1.3 but I need the ".config"
file.

=20

Best regards Poul-Erik Hansen.

ebtables does not got installed into cdtree even if it
is selected when make menuconfig. This is because 
script build/scripts/ebtables passes BINPATH instead
of BINDIR when install ebtables to cdtree. It also
does not pass other necessary env variables. Another
problem is ebtables Makefile uses value of BINDIR,
SYSCONFIGDIR to generate incorrect
/etc/init.d/ebtables and /sbin/ebtables-save because
BINDIR point to build/tmp/ISO/cdtree/sbin. 

Attached ebtables.patch.bz2 patches
build/scripts/ebtables to apply patch to ebtables'
Makefile and to pass correct env variables to
ebtables' Makefile when install ebtables to cdtree.

Attached ebtables-v2.0.8-rc2.patch.bz2 patches
ebtables' Makefile. The new Makefile have two new
variables so that /etc/init.d/ebtables and
/sbin/ebtables-save can ben generated correctly.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this is related to the Kernel wifi support.
