As far as I can tell the unit acts as a DHCP/BOOTP (pseudo)forwarder when working in repeater mode so the DHCP request comes from the IP address of the unit. The consequence of this is that DHCP WILL NOT WORK if the unit is not in the same subnet as the DHCP clients - I am not even sure if it will w...

Fra&co that was my point - it is not removable as it adds itself back in... Anyway the client may have a static DNS configured or I might not even want to give them DNS (via DHCP or at all) as they might not get internet access.... Think windows machines via a proxy using wins/broadcast to find ...

OK Progress re Engenius EOC 1650 (& 2610?) LED display... Changing the active WAN LED is simple once you dig your way through the code... The LED to GPIO assigments are: 'WLAN' GPIO 2 Red GPIO 4 Yellow GPIO 6 Green GPIO 7 (don't ask why!) GPIO 0 is the reset line which was an interesting one to ...

MDColl You may not need mac transparency - certainly my RouterOS based hotspot looks at the IP address of the client not just the MAC address... But as Eric says as soon as you have a wireless client involved then everything behind that will have the clients MAC address due to the way 802.11 works. ...

projectgus I saw that post & went for gargoyle for simplicity... It did occur to me that the 'performance' hit is no different to running a NAT router (or indeed any router code) on the units as each packet still has to be examined in software, changed & checksums etc recalculated... The onl...

oops... rtfm!

Good... what's the ETA for 1.2?

Eric

That makes sense. My concern was that the location had changed...

In that case it is also logical to put any 'custom' scripts in /etc/rc.d rather than /etc/init.d ... Not sure if this is / should be documented?

David

Not sure if this is a 'bug' or not... using 1.1.8 When I look at the config backup file (generated via the web interface) in winrar it includes the /etc/rc.d directory. Unfortunately all the files in there are shown as 0 bytes as they are symlinks to files in /etc/init.d ... Should it be backing up ...
