The new router hardware has an Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet adapter, which the internet tells me is supported from kernel 2.6.21..

Any chance of the CentOS kernel gets updated (or the driver backported) to allow me to use this interface?

Or should/must I just go ahead and bake my own kernel?

Please have a look at this forum thread http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14018&forum=4... Granted it refers to the L2, but it may be of interest to you.

ALan.

There is a driver for the Attansic L1 thanks to wolfy (Manuel Wolfshant). Please see:

Hello,

I am currently setting up my new router, and I opted for using CentOS.. Now, I need OpenVPN support, and I'd rather not install it from source.

I tried yum, but there doesn't appear to be any packages for it available..

Any tips?

rpmforge has openvpn packages for Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora:

Thanks!
