    14 Please note that you can find the supporting files in the  [http://svn.wirelessleiden.nl/svn/code svn/code subdirectory]. There are different versions available for node- and gateway (proxy) configurations and also 'trunk' (operational) and 'branche' (development) versions. Also keep a close look at the ''INFO'' ''WARNING'' ''ERR'' directives as they guide you through some common pitfalls. This guide was originally written for FreeBSD 7.2, this page is still available [wiki:FreeBSD7.2_Guide]. As there are a lot of (positive) changes in the wireless stack, we now prefer the use of FreeBSD 8.2. Work on a FreeBSD 9.0 version is on its way. Code can be found in svn: http://http://svn.wirelessleiden.nl/svn/code/iris/branches/releng-9.0-ileiden/ .

This guide was originally written for FreeBSD 7.2, this page is still available [wiki:FreeBSD7.2_Guide]. As there were a lot of (positive) changes in the wireless stack, we moved to FreeBSD 8.2 which was implemented on all nodes in the course of 2011.

     16Work on and testing of a '''FreeBSD 9.0 version''' is on its way. Code can be found in svn: http://svn.wirelessleiden.nl/svn/code/iris/branches/releng-9.0-ileiden/ .
     17We are planning a number of changes:
     18
     19  * use of pf instead of ipfw - because of rich feature set.
     20  * Better design of captive portal, faster response.
     21  * More monitoring support, also monitoring of nanostations
     22  * Better maintenance tools and overviews (dynamic motd).
     23  * gformat support for genesis nodes database.
     24  * Overhaul of the DNS infrastructure master/slave on the nodes.
     25  * Better support for PEN (more than three proxies) and better sorting.
     26  * Ensure that the fastest nameservers are ranked first in /etc/resolv.conf to shorten DNS response time.

     28As yet no freeze or release date planned.
