Adding Wireless Adapter MN-520
by John O'Neal 26 Jun '04

Hi, Would it be possible to add the following entries to /etc/pcmcia/config file in your next build. I have this Microsoft pcmcia adapter and it is not recognized. card "Microsoft Wireless Notebook Adapter MN-520 1.0.3" version "Microsoft", "Wireless Notebook Adapter MN-520", "", "1.0.3" bind "orinoco_cs"

Re: [sisela] Bridge

Hmm, what do I like about sisela? The fact that it gives my (otherwise useless) old laptop the chance to connect to my wireless network. I have been using sisela and my old laptop recently to create a wireless<->ethernet bridge so that I can have a hard-wired ethernet link inside my room without the wiring. Sisela is quite likely one of the most useful floppy-based tools I have ever used simply because it provides instant access to my wireless hardware. Excellent work.

There isn't currently a way to install Sisela to a hard drive. If someone really wanted to do it I'd suggest starting from the source package, adding the necessary IDE/SCSI support to the kernel configuration, and then putting the whole FAT & SYSLINUX setup on a hard disk partition instead of a floppy. But *why*? There are literally hundreds of other Linux distributions designed to install to hard drives, including dozens designed for similar purposes as Sisela. You *can't* add any extra packages to an installed Sisela setup. Everything's built together so that unnecessary library code can be taken out to save space. The point of this project was to make the most capable networking system that could possibly fit on a floppy. Now people keep asking for it to do something else, when there are plenty of alternatives - mostly with more maintenance than one busy student. What do people like so much about Sisela?

compiling sisela (was two pcmcia cards)
by S. R. Voloch 21 May '04

21 May '04

Hi, Thanks to John for the suggestion to fix my problem of two pcmcia cards. I found the relevant file: templates/rootfs/etc/pcmcia/config.opts in the sisela source distribution and added the line exclude irq 5 Now I am having trouble compiling sisela. The URLs for uClibc and bridge-utils are not right. I edited the Makefile and that solved it. But the server for aodv-uu is down so I can't get that, so I'm stuck. Thanks, Felipe

two pcmcia cards details
by S. R. Voloch 20 May '04

20 May '04

Hi, Thanks for looking into this. Here are the details you wanted. To recap I have a laptop with 2 PCMCIA cards but I can't make both cards work simultaneously under Sisela. If I boot with both cards it only detects the wireless. Details: Booting only with ethernet card. login message says: eth0 detected 3com589 cardctl status says: socket 0: no card socket 1: 5V 16-bit PC card function 0: [ready] cardctl config says: socket 0: not configured socket 1: Vcc 5.0V Vpp1 0.0V Vpp2 0.0V Interface type is "memory and I/O" irq 11 [exclusive] [level] function 0: config base 0x10000 option 0x41 status 0x00 IO 0x0300-0x030f [16 bit] cardctl ident says: socket 0: no product info available socket 1: product info: "3com corporation", "3c589D", "TP,BNC LAN card version 2a" "000002" manfid: 0x0101,0x0589 funcion: 6 (network) Booting only with wireless card. login message says: eth0 detected DLink 650W cardctl status says: socket 0: 3.3V 16-bit PC card function 0: [ready] socket 1: no card cardctl config says: socket 0: Vcc 3.3V Vpp1 0.0V Vpp2 0.0V Interface type is "memory and I/O" irq 11 [exclusive] [level] function 0: config base 0x033e0 option 0x41 IO 0x0100-0x013f [16 bit] socket 1: not configured cardctl ident says: socket 0: product info: "DLink", "DCF-650W", "" manfid: 0xd601,0x0002 funcion: 6 (network) socket 1: no product info available Booting with both cards gives the above all together for both cards except that cardctl status on socket 1 has function 0: [ready] [wp] that is the [wp] is new. Another thing I looked at was the kernel messages in Alt-F2 and it had (when booting both) get dev info on socket1 failed resource temporarily unavaliable Thanks again Felipe

hy Martin, For using sisela as a router, i've put a file resolv.conf in /etc/, where i've setup those two DNS. The problem is that it gives me errors when I put those commands into the boot.sh : ifconfig -a eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig -a eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 -- after those two lines, it gives me errors. add route default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx iptables ....etc...nat..., etc, ...POSTROUTING......etc....MASQUERADE cp /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf echo "search xxx.ro nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xx2 nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xx3" > /etc/resolv.conf echo "1" > /...etc...ip_forward The boot.sh is not loaded after the end of all scripts and settings ? Because the same script lines is working perfect when I write them by hand (after the execution of boot.sh with only the first two lines of script). Is something wrong ? Every time when i restart the computer I must write those script lines by hand. thanks a lot in advance !!!

The simplest way to do this is to enter the rules as you'd like them, then save them to a file on the floppy with iptables-save. iptables-save > /floppy/iptables-rules Then add to your boot.sh script: iptables-restore < /floppy/iptables-rules to restore them from the disk at startup.
