OpenWRT PPTP Client – Part 2
Looks impressive:
The default kernel found in Kamikaze 8.09 downloaded from OpenWRT web site is panicing when kernel accel-pptp is used. I cannot provide the output of the Oops message ’cause i have no serial connection to the router (and I don’t want to add one since then I will need serial-to-usb connector as well).
So I went further and used the trunk (at revision 14823), built the image, flashed the router, found that it is far from being dead and tried…
root@gate:~# pppd plugin /tmp/pptp.so.0.0.0 pptp_server 10.0.0.3 nodetach \ debug user ******@internet.beeline.ua password ***
No output, but no crash. Ok, logging in for another session…
root@gate:~# ifconfig ppp0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:94.27.114.118 P-t-P:94.27.127.24 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:10451 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8618 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:12413021 (11.8 MiB) TX bytes:4034292 (3.8 MiB)
With no error messages in dmesg.
I will test this setup for an evening or two and the third part will be about how to package it the right way.
Here’s the third part.
