Current "Bering" version: 1.99.6.2
This is the ntp server from Debian. Starting with Bering 1.2 this package does not require libm.lrp
Current "Bering" version: 4.1.0-8
The pcmcia.lrp package is built from pcmcia-cs. To configure pcmcia, go to the LEAF packages configuration menu and select pcmcia.
The functionnalities of this package are limited to network, wireless & serial setup. The following menu will appear:
pcmcia configuration files
1) pcmcia default parameters
2) pcmcia configuration
3) wireless configuration
q) quit
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Selection:
Refer to the PCMCIA How-to for a full explanation of the configuration parameters. The man pages are here.
In order to have a working pcmcia package, you need to download in
/lib/modules/pcmcia those modules which are necessary
for your own PCMCIA card:
Starting with Bering v1.0-rc2, pcmcia modules come from the pcmcia-cs package and NOT from the kernel. Non kernel mode PCMCIA support through pcmcia-cs appears more stable.
The PCMCIA drivers are here
Two "core" modules are mandatory: pcmcia_core.o and ds.o and are provided with the pcmcia.lrp package. You will then need a socket driver (tcic.o or i82365.o for example) and your network card drivers.
The interface provided by your pcmcia hardware (e.g. eth0 and ppp0)
should NOT be put in the auto statement of the
/etc/interface file. The /etc/pcmcia/network
script will be launched by the cardmgr program which is launched by
/etc/init.d/pcmcia script. The interface
configuration will be then read from the interface file. See the Bering
user's guide
for practical examples.
On the top of the standard pcmcia.lrp package provided without any pcmcia kernel modules, four other packages are provided in the Bering package area:
pcmcia_hostap.lrp: provides a ready-to-go pcmcia package for hostap driver compatible cards (Prism2 chipset). The necessary pcmcia-cs (3.2.4) drivers are included.
pcmcia_orinoco.lrp: provides a ready-to-go pcmcia package for orinoco cards. The necessary pcmcia-cs (3.2.4) drivers are included.
pcmcia_wlan.lrp: provides a ready-to-go pcmcia package for wlan-ng driver compatible cards (Prism2 chipset). The necessary pcmcia-cs (3.2.4) drivers are included.
pcmcia_xircom.lrp: provides a ready-to-go pcmcia package for XIRCOM 16 bits PCMCIA cards. The necessary pcmcia-cs (3.2.4) drivers are included. It has been tested successfully on a RealPort Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56k (REM56G-100BTX). This file is stripped to a bare minimum to save space.
The previous four packages should be renamed pcmcia.lrp after downloading. Also make sure that the modules provided with pcmcia_XXXX.lrp correspond to the modules provided with your Bering release !
Current "Bering" version: 3.2.4
Provides the following utilities from pcmcia-cs:.cardctl, dump_cardbus and dump_cis.
Current "Bering" version: 3.2.4.
Provides the PPPd Deamon patched for pppoa. See: http://www.sfgoth.com/~mitch/linux/atm/pppoatm/ for further info.
Current "Bering" version: 2.4.0b2. Strangely enough no recent version of pppd supports pppoa :-(
Provides pptpd, the PPTP server for Linux. See: http://www.poptop.org for further info.
Current "Bering" version: 1.1.3
This package provides vconfig program and the necessary scripts. The vconfig program comes from the vlan linux web site where you will find useful information.
Current "Bering" version: 1.6
This is the htb-int package from the htb.init web site and borrowed from the lince distribution.
Current "Bering" version: 0.8.3
The tc.lrp package provides the tc program from the iproute2 utilities used with LEAF "Bering". This program is patched for htb (V3) support. There is no configuration file for this program, which is only used if you want for traffic-shapping through Shorewall. Refer to the shorewall documentation if you are planning to use traffic-shapping.
Current "Bering" version: SS010824
Starting with Bering 1.2 those packages do not require libm.lrp anymore.
These are tools for manipulating Linux Wireless Extensions written by Jean Tourrilhes. These two packages contain the Wireless tools, used to manipulate the Linux Wireless Extensions. The Wireless Extension is an interface allowing you to set Wireless LAN specific parameters and get the specific stats.
The wireless.lrp package provides the wireless utilities used for
configuration, namely: iwconfig,
iwpriw,
iwspy.
It also provide a wireless script in the
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ directory that will
initialize the wireless interface(s) through the /etc/interfaces
file. A valid interface file section for an eth2 wireless interface could
look like:
iface eth2 inet static address 192.168.1.200 masklen 24 wireless_mode ad_hoc wireless_essid jacques wireless_channel 12
The wireutil.lrp package provides the wireless utilities used for information, namely: iwgetid, iwlist and iwevent.
Current "Bering" version: 25
This package provides the userland programs for a full support of the wlan-ng drivers.
This package requires wireless.lrp.
wlan-ng.lrp provides a set of drivers and utilities that is intended to provide the full range of IEEE 802.11 MAC management capabilities for use in user-mode utilities and scripts. The package currently supports the Intersil 802.11b Prism2, Prism2.5, and Prism3 reference designs for PCMCIA, PCI, and USB. Additionally, the package includes support for the PLX9052 based PCI to PCMCIA adapter with a few different PCMCIA cards.
This package is useless without the appropriate linux-wlan-ng modules available in the Bering modules download area.
This package provides the nwepgen,
wlancfg,
and wlanctl-ng
userland programs and a linux-wlan-ng-pre-up script
in the /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ directory that will
initialize the wireless interface(s) through the /etc/interfaces
file. A valid interface file section for an wlan0 wireless interface could
look like:
iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.1.200 masklen 24 wireless_mode ad_hoc wireless_essid jacques wireless_channel 12 wlan_ng_bcint 100 wlan_ng_oprates 2 4 11 22
The detailed list of available parameters is available here. A FAQ is also available.
Current "Bering" version: 0.2.0
