Hi, the problems you are having are because the apps configured there (ssh&friends, and "more") have not yet been committed to the ports tree, mostly because of my lazynessand partly because this extended code-freeze period preceding 4.3 (and i guess related to the switch from BSDi to WindRiver) does not really encourage me to push for committing a whole new category to the port tree, and modify crunchgen. Anyways you can find the relevant code at http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/picobsd/ you have to expand the two ports in /usr/ports/picobsd and manually do a make for them before trying to compile the tree. This said: > Ethernet<-->WaveLAN bridge (basically, the poor man's WaveLAN Access > Point) using an old 486 with a ISA->PCMCIA adapter and a WaveLAN PCMCIA > card. apparently you cannot build a bridge, only a router, and i have also heard that there might be problems with some ISA->PCMCIA adapters which might not be well supported in -stable. If the above is not true, i'd love to know which one is supported. Finally: i don't know if what you want to build makes sense. The home base station (RG100, which is the same as the Apple Airport for what matters) is not very expensive, i bought the RG100 for some $280 compared to the $160 that you need for the wavelan PCMCIA card, and another 60-70$ for the ISA->PCMCIA adapter. So i do not see where is the saving, unless you happen to have already most of the hardware. Also consider that the base station has a built-in modem, can do NAT and dial-on-demand, is small and it does not have a noisy fan as most PCs. cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
