"I didn't realize hostapd is disabled right now in the build system. I don't think DL is the right OS for being a wireless router, there are better ones with much more functionality. I'm leaning towards leaving it disabled. How big of a deal is that for you?" I don't understand the logic of this at all. Given the number of wireless devices in use why would someone building a router not want to be able to add a wireless connection to it if/when it is needed ? This is especially true for home routers and that is exactly what I want to use it for. Also I would much prefer to use a Linux distribution with a hardened kernel for ANY world facing router I build and the only one I've found so far that does not require the use of a web interface is Devil Linux (and as far as I can remember only one of the web interface router distributions I looked at had a hardened kernel). Why does the "ROUTER/server distribution" Devil Linux not include the "much more functionality" for a wireless connection router ? In the days of omni-present wireless connected devices it seems obvious that it should. ---- Heiko Zuerker <he...@zu...> wrote: > Ashwin, > > ipconfig has been replaced by the ip command. > > I didn't realize hostapd is disabled right now in the build system.
