[BUGS] Bounty Work

[Hugh Blandford]

Hi All,

I have a friend who is trying to modify pfSense a bit.  If anyone is 
interested let me know and I will put you in touch, notice the finishing 
date.....14th January.

Regards,

Hugh

The project is to have :
--------
3G - WAN (USB Sierra Wireless 875U mounted internally in PC)
Satellite (ethernet / DHCP) - WAN
Other (office LAN connection) - WAN Port
 
to
 
1 x LAN  (Nat'd)
----------
in a failover configuration..
 
PFSense can basically do this (Has CARP etc for failover and even 
load-balancing) except the current version can't do PPP (can do PPPoe 
but not PPP as a WAN port for some crazy reason).. Everyone on the 
forums is asking / begging for it..
 
We're using this hardware:
http://www.mini-box.com/Mini-Box-M200-LCD
 
It's working well so far..  We need to get the integrated LCD doing 
something useful too :
 
ie http://www.mini-box.com/picoLCD-20x2-OEM?sc=8&category=490 
<http://www.mini-box.com/picoLCD-20x2-OEM?sc=8&category=490> 
 
There's precompiled binaries for Linux and source.
 
The Sierra Wireless card range has source / binaries for Linux and is 
detected properly as a Sierra modem (And fires up) with FreeBSD out of 
the box (integrated drivers!!).. So that side seems easy enough. There's 
also extra PPP scripts etc here:

We'd ideally like to run this on CF / Disk on Module.. (I have it 
running on a CF card currently as 'Full Install' - seems a little slow 
but OK)
 
I can flick your guy a full kit of hardware whenever he's available.. 
Catch is that we need it finished by Jan 14 latest..  I've set a 
'bounty' of $1K (on the assumption it's hopefully one long day's work if 
it comes together and the only major mods are a bit of PHP coding on the 
PFSense interface side) but there's more available as required.
