Hi,

How much memory is needed for the OpenSWAN package, I' m getting the following error (removed everything I don't need) - Does it work only on WRT54GS models (8/32MB)?

root@wlan:~# free
              total         used         free       shared      buffers
  Mem:        14376         7932         6444            0          848

thanks, Jörg

show us df -h.

OpenSwan works fine on wrt64gs. A friend of mine is using it with rc3 and 7 tunnels. Endpoint is a cisco device.

Here it is:


root@wlan:~# df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root                 1.0M      1.0M         0 100% /rom
/dev/mtdblock/4           2.2M      2.1M     80.0k  96% /
none                      7.0M     20.0k      7.0M   0% /tmp

P.S. I have a WRT54g Ver. 2.2

thanks

compile your own Image. Or use Imagebuilder and reinstall a squashfs firmware with openswan included in the compressed partition

thanks for the quick answer...

initial reason for trying this (IPSec-implementation) out was the fact that openvpn on the wrt doesn't work for me with win xp sp2, linux clients on the other hand work fine...
