SSL support on nocat auth page -EricJohanson
Touch screen support.
Can this be done without X? non-X-scribble? I think this requires X. X will be supported once I get docs from CoryWebb on how to make the pen drivers work and a working XF86Config file.n -- AdamShand
You should check with Mark Curran, I think he has added X to your image already --MichaelCodanti
- Real time reporting...
WirelessAntFarm from Vortex looks like a promising start. EricJohanson is also working on something. -- AdamShand
- Setting up image to work with other devices (EG: SBCs with different PCMCIA bridges)
I think this should "just work". Can you document any issues? -- AdamShand
Setting up a default message on telnet/ssh; "you are not logged in via nocat, please goto http://aa.bb.cc.dd/"
Open Bugs
From AdamShand
Upgrade to latest version of NoCatAuth to fix browser problems.
Upgrade to 2.4.17 and latest HostApMode drives to try and resolve NetStumbler issues
From TerrySchmidt:
- Screen doesn't turn off (might be my bios settings)
- How do you make grub bootable? (without loading lilo first and then booting and choosing grub)
working on it, if anyone else wants to figure this out it would be appreciated. -- AdamShand
From EricJohanson:
- /etc/lilo.conf.install does not point to correct kernel image; (both 2.2.x and 2.4.x)
- warnings loading modules; /var/log/something is readonly on kernel boot
- My screen *does* turn off, once I tweaked the bios
- Why can't I ping/traceroute out via the NAT?
- having lynx installed would help debugging 'net connections
- What does this mean? Any why is it saying it sooooo much? I get 1-2 of these per second. /var/log on my system is over 300 megs.
This is from running 'netstubler on a windows box.
Unable to Duplicate
- DNS Server doesn't load upon bootup
- DHCP Server doesn't load upon bootup
I had this problem when i was setting up my own linux ap image, you the hostap driver takes a little while to initialize, longer than a normal one, so i fixed it by bumping dhcp to S99 in /etc/rc2.d/ --ForrestEnglish

AdHoc mode! This would be VERY helpful for SWN folks..... I've heard rumors that we want to use ADHoc for PtP links...
AdHoc mode is supported, you just need to change the mode the card is in from master to managed in /etc/network/interfaces (it ships as an AccessPoint by default). -- AdamShand
- Needs update to 2.4.16 (10 Dec 2001)
- Disable -- MARK -- in syslog ("-m 0") (10 Dec 2001)
- Add simple batch file or configuration to switch to bridging instead of NAT (see /usr/local/bin/bridge-setup.sh 10 Dec 2001)
