Hi!
I put my ASUS WL-500g Premium into service. It now does the ADSL routing
and iptables. The packets for this mail will go over it ;-). Seems to
work nicely. I disabled swap for testing and it seems to be pretty fine:
gayatri:~# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 29896 24072 5824 0 652 14668
-/+ buffers/cache: 8752 21144
Swap: 0 0 0
(with a screen open in it)
I think I will add dnsmasq and some other stuff, probably OpenVPN, but
otherwise thats what I wanted.
And kernel 2.6.24 would be interesting in order to make WLAN work in case
I want to have it.
I am already thinking of using several USB sticks... when I am at a linux
user group party, I just put in an WLAN router USB stick and when I am at
some my ADSL routing USB stick... so the internal flash would just be
the "bootloader" ;-), well lets see..
BTW how fast is your USB? I used a pretty fast and quite expensive USB
stick for my Debian installation.
It had:
shambala> hdparm -tT /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb:
Timing cached reads: 1226 MB in 2.00 seconds = 612.70 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 72 MB in 3.05 seconds = 23.61 MB/sec
on my notebook
and has:
gayatri:~# hdparm -tT /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 90 MB in 2.00 seconds = 44.98 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 24 MB in 3.22 seconds = 7.45 MB/sec
gayatri:~# hdparm -tT /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 92 MB in 2.03 seconds = 45.21 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 22 MB in 3.13 seconds = 7.04 MB/sec
on the ASUS.
Well I think in that case I could use the slower one I also bought, cause
it still has 9,49 MB/s on my Notebook and use the faster one for my
notebook:
shambala> hdparm -tT /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb:
Timing cached reads: 1098 MB in 2.01 seconds = 546.46 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 30 MB in 3.16 seconds = 9.49 MB/sec
Ciao,
