Hi Heinrich,
I thought about bying a vpn1411, but have read about problems with
corrupted mac, which don't seem to be resolved so far. This is a bit
confusing: http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html states that the board is
supported, so does the soekris website. However:
http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2006-06/0825.html suggests
that it's not.
Although I can't tell you which card actually works, I can (partly)
confirm the "corrupted mac"-thingie:
My WRAP-firewall is running 4.0-stable and a VPN1411. From time to time,
running ssh-sessions will simply die and spit out "Disconnecting:
Corrupted MAC on input."
Everything else works, but it's rather confusing editing pf.conf and seing
your connecting dying. If you don't have to configure your device every 5
minutes or so, this shouldn't be a showstopper.
No, i don't. I want to use the box as a fileserver at home and have the
WLAN traffic encrypted with IPsec or OpenVPN. I do not know how robust
both of them are w.r.t to intermittent "corrupted mac" errors.
Unrecoverable hangs during file transfers would of course be quite
annyoing. Maybe i will simply give it a try..
Hope that helps...
Yes, thanks very much.
