Hi excito & Co I've compiled a new kernel with ipsec enabled. Some off the settings should be compiled as a module, so that strongswan would start. I made a iperf test that showed that the device was capable of delivering 30 mbit/s aes128 encryption, and probably more. It maxed out our 1000$ zyx...

Well i did, and now i have ipsec running on the baby. And btw. it's the only option you have if excito won't deliver a decent kernel.

Wkr.

Well yeah, it's kind off stupid. I bricked 1 b3 in the process, it should have been enabled from the beggining, especially when you consider that the chip has a good hardware crypto engine, that they already enabled in the running kernel. I tried the guruplug server plus with strongswan, and it was ...

Well, i made the wrong image offcourse.

From my experience you can configure uboot to try different sources when locating a kernel.

e.g. first try sata, the usb, tftp etc.

But that would require a serial console.

Wkr.

So, how would you upgrade the kernel?

I gues i was wrong

b3 bricked and located 25 km's away.

So any chance on looking at my feature request ?

Hi

Well, i would rather have a kernel with ipsec, than returning the unit.

Hi I downloadet the kernel source from http://download.excito.net/kernel/Excito_B3/2.6.35.4/linux-2.6.35.4-excito.tar.bz2 i took the config from the running kernel, made a make menuconfig, make and make zImage. i found a kernel in /boot/uImage, is that the kernel i have to overwrite ? Its been a lon...

Hey

It would be nice if the kernel was compiled with ipsec support, so that we could use strongswan for vpn.

Wkr.

Well, its not that impressive i think. It's nearly the same as the plugs with same chip. What i like about the products, from what i can see, is the built quality off the chassis, integration off web frontend and config files. It could be cool, if you added a frontend for a ipsec vpn or webdav confi...

Hi

Can you be a bit more specifik about which arm cpu ?

is it 88F6281 ?

Hi I have never heard about excito before i saw your pressrelease. What a wonderfull thing yuo've been cooking :-) I recently bought a guruplug server plus for my next router project, i wanted something low wattage hi performance routing + nat + ipsec. Can't recommend the guruplug. it gets hot as h....
