Testing

Confirm successful Wanpipe/Zaptel installation run:

Restart

It often happens that upon restart the system tries to unload zaptel drivers before unloading wanrouter drivers, so that the system hangs up with kernel panic.

In order to avoid this, in file /etc/rc6.d/K92zaptel comment out lines:

  stop)
       # Unload drivers
       #shutdown_dynamic # FIXME: needs test from someone with dynamic spans
       #echo -n "Unloading zaptel hardware drivers:"
       #unload_module zaptel
       #RETVAL=$?
       #echo "."
       #[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f $LOCKFILE
       ;;
 unload)
       # We don't have zaptel helper, so let's not replicate too much code:
       # allow others to use the unload command.
       # unload_module zaptel
       ;;

Kernel panic

To avoid having the machine hang because of kernel panic, edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add the following line to the end of the file:

kernel.panic = 20

Errors

Warning: WAN_LOCK_DIR = /var/lock/subsys does not exist!
Please update the WAN_LOCK_DIR in /etc/wanpipe/wanrouter.rc

In file /etc/wanpipe/wanrouter.rc, fix the real path.
