The rest I need to build. Could you point me to similar stuff like dhclient but that contains the http part.

From what I understand - this tool can help deploying configuration/changes when I am connected to the same network as that of my router. Practically, this would never be the case. If I have to update any of my routers, there need to be an update client sitting on the router, that wakes up on periodic basis, check for updates, download (optionally show a screen that update in progress to anybody who connects to wifi at that moment) & then install updates. I am not sure if the resource you pointed above could help me with that. It probably can help me make a router 'ready' to be deployed to a client location. Correct me if I am wrong. -- -- Mailing list guidelines and other related articles: http://lug-iitd.org/Footer --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Linux User Group @ IIT Delhi" group.
