Hi all,
For those who are interested; I've pushed the updated
ethernet drivers to the bitkeeper tree (including
a bugfix a few minutes ago).
To use the new tap-driver:
==========================
1. Configure tap0 & masquerading:
ifconfig tap0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up arp
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ipchains -M -S 7200 10 160
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQ
2. Add the line 'netdev: tap0' to the molrc file.
To use the rewritten sheep-driver:
==================================
Add the line 'netdev: eth0' to the molrc file.
(It is also possible to use the sheep-driver on tap0 by
specifying 'netdev: tap0 -sheep')
I'd be grateful if people on this list could test the drivers.
If things work out, I'll put together 0.9.49 this weekend.
Note: The IP-filtering and the unique address feature
are temporarily disabled.
Btw. I discovered that MOL received IP-packets of length
1516 (including the full ethernet header). I thought
1514 was the protocol limit? MOL currently truncates
packets larger than 1514 and this caused certain problems
in this case (the problem went away when I increased
the limit).
Cheers,
/Samuel
