A new alpha release of udpcast is ready on
http://udpcast.linux.lu/20030524
It fixes a bug with network modules which were not directly in the
drivers/net directory, but rather in one of its
subdirectories. Impacted were e100, e1000, tulip, some pcmcia drivers,
and some wireless drivers.
Moreover, the new version now supports the lzop compressor, which is
faster than gzip.
There is now also support for ipmac files to make it possible to
"automatically" attribute IP addresses to the various receivers even
without a DHCP server.
For this, simply place an ipmac.txt file into the root of the boot
floppy, whith the mac to ip mapping.
Example:
# Udpcast IP/Mac association file
00:5B:56:4b:42:9a 10.0.0.176
00:50:56:40:42:97 10.0.0.177
00:50:56:40:42:98 10.0.0.178
This means that the machine with the MAC address 00:5B:56:4b:42:9a
should get IP 10.0.0.176, etc.
Have fun,
Alain
