WRAPcop: A guy that calls himself xpapa provides images for the WRAP-platform from PCengines (already mentioned in this thread by the guy running m0n0wall on that hardware).
IPCOP then runs from CF-cards (>=128 MB), the whole box pulls about 5 W max and is QUIET. I run a few of those for clients, and one for my own office.
You can bet that he knows for quite a while that OSS-development is not a rose garden, because he actually did all that for quite a while. Far from expecting something...
He has something to complain about, if he has to use a breathing-aid for sleep... and he was and IS truly devoted to his OSS-work.
Ever ran a OSS-project on your own? For more than a few months? Successfully? Healthy?
I am also testing it on a notebook (P4-M 1.8) right now, compiling a kernel while I watch it tuning, there the avg_fitness is at about 3000 (generation ~120).
Have to read that code and try to understand it, very interesting so far...
Just compiled this stuff on an old testbox, now running it for about 100 generations. At first it was feeling very slow, ok, it's a Pentium2;-) but it was much slower than running vanilla 2.6.9 or 2.6.10, for example.
But it is getting much better now, I don't know how much generations there will be needed to get things right. It feels pretty much the same as with the vanilla kernels, let's see where this leads...
Anyone else with experiences? AFAIK this thingy can only be tweaked by editing the code and recompiling, there are a few hardcoded parameters...
Very easy to setup a net-to-net-connection, a little harder to set up a host-to-net-connection, when it comes to connect a so-called Road-Warrior with dynamic IP.
If you need to provide IPSEC to XP-Clients, this works as well, just a little fiddling necessary. There are several HOWTOs out there.
I use a Pentium I 133 MHz with 100MB RAM here... works like a charm.
And you also get loads of other functionality as well. Webproxy, DNS-Proxy, IDS, QoS, NTP, DHCP,...

following up myself:
IPCOP brings IPSEC-based VPN, but is also able to do OpenVPN (even in parallel with IPSEC-VPN) by using the Zerina-Addon.

Maybe they should have a look.

I respect his step.
I watch the output of "cat /proc/genetic/as-ioscheduler" as I am using the machine. On the Pentium2 I have:
...
generation_number: 281
num_children: 8
child_number: 4
num_mutations: 8
avg_fitness: 28787
last_gen_avg_fitness: 6760

Forgot to mention this: IPCOP uses FreeS/Wan.
I am also using IPCOP for VPNs here.
