1.8b Development

Just got the emails regarding 1.8.479 and almost immediate update to 1.8.480.

Just a FYI, I tried generic-pc-serial-1.8.0b480.img but it's still not working on my GB-1000 hardware.

No change from previous behavior. I can assign interfaces and LAN IP via the console, but the WebGUI has no open port so it can't be configured any further.

Is there anything I can provide to the development team to help get this sorted out?

Can you ping the LAN IP address?

On 1.8.480 I can ping the LAN IP from the console and a host on the LAN.

When I port scan the LAN IP from a LAN host when running 1.33, I see TCP ports 53 and 443 open.

When I do the same when running 1.8.480, all ports are closed. This is a from scratch install to CF, all I can configure from the console are the interfaces (fxp) and the LAN IP.

Thanks

Hmm, that's pretty odd - there's no good reason why the webGUI HTTP daemon should not start, especially not without any error messages on the console.

Could you please post the kernel boot messages? Maybe I can spot something that would explain this behavior...

Here you go.

Hi Fred,

I have ordered one of these from ebay tonight, so should have it in a few days so I can try fix any outstanding problems on your platform.

I'll update this thread when I have debugged further.

The reason for the small extra effort from me is a response for all the support you give people on this forum and your dedication to giving feedback.  Thank you !

Thanks,

Can you post the URL to the unit you bought from ebay? I have a watch on those, but if they are poorly described, my watch doesn't pick them up. So I'm just curious as to what you are getting.

Manuel was kind enough to debug with me further off forum. He provided some special debugging images for me, but alas, we couldn't solve it. As it turns out, no filter rules are being loaded into the kernel. This was confirmed by disabling ipf from the debugging image console. At that point the webGUI could be reached.

To rule out bad RAM or hardware, I tried on another GB-1000. Same problems, so it isn't bad hardware. The GB-1000 platform just doesn't get along with 1.8.

Let me know if you want any of those images.

Thanks again for taking an interest in this.

PM'd link to you

I'll see how I get on with the hardware first, hopefully it's easier to debug with the hardware to hand.

Thanks again.

Bonus points if you can figure out how to get into the BIOS on one of these. I tried putting a video card into the PCI slot, but it didn't seem to work.

Thanks to brushedmoss and Manuel, WebGUI access is solved on GB-1000.

Traffic shaper still breaks LAN to WAN access.

More to follow.

Many thanks to Manuel and brushedmoss for their continued perseverance in getting to the bottom of this and quickly generating a new build to try.

The Traffic Shaper now works on my GB-1000 hardware in m0n0wall 1.8.0b483.

I want to add something on the link0 flag: I was running m0n0wall 1.2 or 1.3 on a system with a dual port 100mbit Intel NIC. Whenever the link0 flag was set on one of the interfaces, it would drop any incoming packets bigger than about 80 bytes. I had to modify the image back then to not set the flag on any interface.
I think I even created a new thread about this back then, but nobody really cared. I don't use the hardware anymore so I can't check if this problem would be gone in 1.8, but my suggestion would be to remove that feature or make it an optional setting, as it really took me some time to find the issue back then. Pinging the machine worked, as the ping packet was <80 bytes, but nothing else did...
