Re: Announcing ZeroShell/MLPPP and Linux/MLPPP alphas
been playing with this most of last nite and today.
my ping times have come down, the computer i am using for this is overkill, but that's what i wanted. having problems setting up qos the way zeroshell docs say to, pppoe will not connect when i add eth00 and eth01 to bridge00.
so i ended up setting qos on ppp0 and seems to work.
no hung sessions yet.
i am liking this over the other ways i have tried, mainly tried wrt54gl with dd-wrt/tomato/openwrt.
one thing i miss is bandwidth monitoring. there is no space limit like there is in a firmware router so why not add some more options.
would like to know what one of the 5 people connected to my router is sucking up all my bw:)
over all i think this is the one i will stick with for awhile, or install a full linux disto and use as mail/web/file/router server as well. |

I've been dogfooding it since before the first internal alpha. No fix for the hung session issue (although we'll have something by final), but I also haven't run into that exact issue yet.
I've run into some other issues that required restarting the PPPoE connection though, that may have been related. |

Bump!
Anyone have the zeroshell running and tested MLPPP yet?
I loaded it onto a board, easy to configure, but not actually tested it yet..
Any word on when a PPP hung session workaround will be released? |

Far as I can tell, the only difference between the 2C3 and the 2D3 that most people would care about is that the 2D3 adds an IDE port, letting you plug a hard drive in. The 2C3 doesn't, so storage is limited to CF cards or USB drives.
I know the source isn't posted on the website yet, but that's partially just because we haven't gotten around to setting up public access for the Git repository. We've put a bunch of the stuff in Git, and need to get around to securing it and such. So we can send out the source upon request, but for general public access we just need to get that thing set up. |

Any suggestions on the best board to get? »www.xagyl.com/catalog/product_in···s_id=186 (or the newest 2D3) is pretty cool for DSL. Xagyl is local to you I believe. We cleaned them out, but Daniel is supposed to be getting more in 10 days or so.

said by Inssomniak :There isnt risk of it becoming a private venture between Candlelight and you guys is there? (I think Candlelight and I are in the same business if Im not mistaken  ) This is a completely open source project. The binaries are open, the source is open.
We're delighted that Guspaz and DSL_Ricer decided to particpate. They make the best MLPPPoE code in the business that we could find and are a pleasure to work with.
We gain, but so does anyone else that wants to use it. Seems like a win-win from where we sit. And we sit a very long way from Cayuga!

We're under contract with Candlelight to do the development, and they want this working on the Alix platform, so we needed a unit to work with. Ill be doing testing with the alix platform as well.

HKPolice: ZeroShell/MLPPP will only work on ZeroShell, which is a Linux-based routing distribution with its own UI. Linux/MLPPP will work on any x86 Linux computer, and has no UI difficulty is similar to setting up regular PPP yourself via commandline.
xPBxNaStY: No, see above answer. Vista can be made to do MLPPP itself, but not with our connection logic. |

So let me get this straight, both of these will run on any x86 linux distro including a regular PC server? The zeroshell version has a more complicated Web GUI whereas the "linux" version has the standard Tomato GUI? |

Yes and no. For one thing, Tomato mp3 alpha 5 has been sitting complete waiting for me to test it, and that has been delayed as much by exam period as anything else. |

Let me say THANKYOU! This is what a lot of us have been wanting for quite some time. To free ourselves from the limitations of the WRT54g but still retain the excellent stability of your version of bundles and whatnot. Thank you so much. I will be sure to donate soon, as this is of great interest and use to me.
I would suggest anyone else who has a similar reaction to me give a little back, to show how much we appreciate the work.
cheers

said by zacron :Hey Guspaz, Would you be able to put a .deb package on fixppp.org? I am looking at attempting to get this working with Ubuntu, however compiling from source is not my specialty  Thanks, Zacron We haven't released the source to Linux/MLPPP, it's a binary package. There might be a .deb one day, but since everything goes in /opt when you extract, we don't really need a package. |
