Hi,

I am currently running LEAF-Bering uClibc 3.0 beta 2 on a PC
Engines
WRAP platform. I now have a requirement for a similar setup
at work, to
handle Remote client access over OpenVPN.
Has anyone experience of moving to the new platform?
I suppose the network drivers are different and I read that
watchdog is
not supported (but maybe not important - I cannot remember
ever needing
it once past the testing phase).

I would appreciate any shared experience,

Bob Von Knobloch

I've not been able to do any thorough tests (some day, when
there is
time, I'd like to see what kind of throughput the box can
handle - if
there's even more time, using a custom openssl setup , that
will use the
special hardware available (like the crypto support, which
might help
openvpn, unless the extra calls from userspace to
kernelspace eat up all
the benefits one gets from doing things in hardware instead
of software
- I don't know about that yet).

But in short, at first glance, the boxes look fine to me.
They boot just
fine using the standard Bering uClibc image (well, after
adding the
network modules). I have no experience how they'll behave
under heavy
load, but so far, things look good.
