I have a Woody30 stock install on a PIII 450 machine acting as
firewall/router. However when I used Debian tweaked wondershaper, it
stops all traffic. Kernel version 2.4.18
Per man page the command I used:
wondershaper dev uplink downlink
/sbin/wondershaper ppp0 106 106
Goggling around led me to a couple of post declaring that stock kernel
problem.
I now need to upgrade the kernel perhaps to 2.4.27-1-686. The machine
is 2 hours drive away from where I am. I have to do remote upgrade
with this machine and also need to be doubly-sure that everything
works before I commence.
Doing apt-cache search|grep 2.4.27-1 shows the require kernel-image,
kernel header and kernel-pcmcia-module.
However when I issue the command
# apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.27-1-i386
It said it depends on 2 modules, modutils and initrd-tools both are
new version than the one at the moment.
My question is:
1. Does the kernel-image package already has all the necessary
modules. As iptables needs its related modules to run.
2. Do I apt-get the needed modules, initrd-tools and modutils then
apt-get kernel-image?
3. When these steps are done, do I need to change content in
/etc/lilo.conf to use the new kernel image.
4. Any report on whether kernel-2.4.27-1 has any issue when using
wondershaper?
