Frank The Tank

This is cool! Can you explain a little bit about how you make the RF connection to the antenna? Perhaps what connections you are using, maybe even a couple close up shots ;)

Oops, forgot the /etc/fstab: config global automount option from_fstab 1 option anon_mount 1 config global autoswap option from_fstab 1 option anon_swap 1 config mount option target /mnt/usb option device /dev/sda1 option fstype ext4 option options rw,sync option enabled 1 option enabled_fsck 0 config swap option device /dev/sda2 option enabled 1

Yo. SanDisk bombed on me (kinda worked great for a while) and I finally bought a replacement from Sebkinne at DerbyCon. Nice silver USB stick w/Hak5 logo. :) ANywho I formatted 3GB of the USB stick as ext4, and the rest (831MB-ish) as swap. Works great. Problem is I can't seem to get it to show as an install target, only "Internal Storage" shows up. Thoughts? I filled the filesystem just with logs a couple times already so I'm getting desperate for space ;) Cheers, Frank Execute: cat /etc/opkg.conf src/gz pineapple_packages http://cloud.wifipineapple.com/packages dest root / dest usb /mnt/usb dest ram /tmp lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists option overlay_root /overlay Execute: free total used free shared buffers Mem: 29340 23416 5924 0 1504 -/+ buffers: 21912 7428 Swap: 842748 4 842744 root@Pineapple:/pineapple/infusions# opkg update Downloading http://cloud.wifipineapple.com/packages/Packages.gz.

I was just talking with Sebkinne at DerbyCon about this very thing. :P he said you can simply plug a cable into the WAN port (eth1) and it will DHCP for an address. I tried this, worked fine. So maybe you can plug it right into your LAN at home that way? Works for me because I can leave it out in the garage on the rack where I wired in a 30A power suppply for all that fan noise and hot electronic stuff. Obviously you need a DHCP server running. The issue I see now tho... I put the MAC address of the eth1 port into my DHCP server so it will always DHCP for the same IP. For some reason it is not work... yet. Actually I am starting to suspect the DHCP lease expiry rather than the pineapple so I will be sure to report back if I notice anything odd with that. The other thing, I *think* i saw something in the wiki about this, with a few commands to run to update the firewall when using this method of connecting to the WAN port. That might not apply with DHCP, but better check it out to be sure. Cheers, Frank
