Although router's job may be as simple as taking your local network -traffic, converting it to WAN format and piping it through the WAN link, these -devices are notoriously expensive, with prices as much as 2 - 5 times higher -then the price of a typical PC box. - -Alternatively, considering robustness and multitasking capabilities of Linux, -an internal router can be built (most routers use some sort of stripped down -Unix-like operating system anyway). With a number of relatively inexpensive WAN -interface cards available on the market, a perfectly usable router can be -built for less than half a price of an external router. Yet a Linux box -acting as a router can still be used for other purposes, such as fire-walling, -running FTP, WWW or DNS server, etc. - -This kernel module introduces the notion of a WAN Link Driver (WLD) to Linux -operating system and provides generic hardware-independent services for such -drivers. Why can existing Linux network device interface not be used for -this purpose? Well, it can. However, there are a few key differences between -a typical network interface (e.g. Ethernet) and a WAN link. - -Many WAN protocols, such as X.25 and frame relay, allow for multiple logical -connections (known as `virtual circuits' in X.25 terminology) over a single -physical link. Each such virtual circuit may (and almost always does) lead -to a different geographical location and, therefore, different network. As a -result, it is the virtual circuit, not the physical link, that represents a -route and, therefore, a network interface in Linux terms. - -To further complicate things, virtual circuits are usually volatile in nature -(excluding so called `permanent' virtual circuits or PVCs). With almost no -time required to set up and tear down a virtual circuit, it is highly desirable -to implement on-demand connections in order to minimize network charges. So -unlike a typical network driver, the WAN driver must be able to handle multiple -network interfaces and cope as multiple virtual circuits come into existence -and go away dynamically. - -Last, but not least, WAN configuration is much more complex than that of say -Ethernet and may well amount to several dozens of parameters. Some of them -are "link-wide" while others are virtual circuit-specific. The same holds -true for WAN statistics which is by far more extensive and extremely useful -when troubleshooting WAN connections. Extending the ifconfig utility to suit -these needs may be possible, but does not seem quite reasonable. Therefore, a -WAN configuration utility and corresponding application programmer's interface -is needed for this purpose. - -Most of these problems are taken care of by this module. Its goal is to -provide a user with more-or-less standard look and feel for all WAN devices and -assist a WAN device driver writer by providing common services, such as: - - o User-level interface via /proc file system - o Centralized configuration - o Device management (setup, shutdown, etc.) - o Network interface management (dynamic creation/destruction) - o Protocol encapsulation/decapsulation - -To ba able to use the Linux WAN Router you will also need a WAN Tools package -available from - - ftp.sangoma.com/pub/linux/current_wanpipe/wanpipe-X.Y.Z.tgz - -where vX.Y.Z represent the wanpipe version number. - -For technical questions and/or comments please e-mail to ncorbic@sangoma.com. -For general inquiries please contact Sangoma Technologies Inc. by - - Hotline: 1-800-388-2475 (USA and Canada, toll free) - Phone: (905) 474-1990 ext: 106 - Fax: (905) 474-9223 - E-mail: dm@sangoma.com (David Mandelstam) - WWW: http://www.sangoma.com - - -INSTALLATION - -Please read the WanpipeForLinux.pdf manual on how to -install the WANPIPE tools and drivers properly. - - -After installing wanpipe package: /usr/local/wanrouter/doc. -On the ftp.sangoma.com : /linux/current_wanpipe/doc - - -COPYRIGHT AND LICENSING INFORMATION - -This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under -the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software -Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) any later version. - -This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT -ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS -FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Success of the WANPIPE -together with the next major release of Linux kernel in summer 1996 commanded -adequate changes to the WANPIPE code to take full advantage of new Linux -features. - -Instead of continuing developing proprietary interface tied to Sangoma WAN -cards, we decided to separate all hardware-independent code into a separate -module and defined two levels of interfaces - one for user-level applications -and another for kernel-level WAN drivers. WANPIPE is now implemented as a -WAN driver compliant with the WAN Link Driver interface. Also a general -purpose WAN configuration utility and a set of shell scripts was developed to -support WAN router at the user level. - -Many useful ideas concerning hardware-independent interface implementation -were given by Mike McLagan <mike.mclagan@linux.org> and his implementation -of the Frame Relay router and drivers for Sangoma cards (dlci/sdla). - -With the new implementation of the APIs being incorporated into the WANPIPE, -a special thank goes to Alan Cox in providing insight into BSD sockets. - -Special thanks to all the WANPIPE users who performed field-testing, reported -bugs and made valuable comments and suggestions that help us to improve this -product. - - - -NEW IN THIS RELEASE - - o Updated the WANCFG utility - Calls the pppconfig to configure the PPPD - for async connections. - - o Added the PPPCONFIG utility - Used to configure the PPPD dameon for the - WANPIPE Async PPP and standard serial port. - The wancfg calls the pppconfig to configure - the pppd. - - o Fixed the PCI autodetect feature. - The SLOT 0 was used as an autodetect option - however, some high end PC's slot numbers start - from 0. - - o This release has been tested with the new backupd - daemon release. - - -PRODUCT COMPONENTS AND RELATED FILES - -/etc: (or user defined) - wanpipe1.conf default router configuration file -

The - driver tries to push its own 2 byte header - into the packet, which causes the driver to - crash. - - o Fix the WANPIPE re-configuration code. - Bug was found by trying to run the cfgft1 while the - interface was already running. - - o Updates to cfgft1. - Writes a wanpipe#.cfgft1 configuration file - once the CSU/DSU is configured.

Instead it does +protect from leaking sensitive data after resume from suspend. + +Think of the following: you suspend while an application is running +that keeps sensitive data in memory. The application itself prevents +the data from being swapped out. Suspend, however, must write these +data to swap to be able to resume later on. Without suspend encryption +your sensitive data are then stored in plaintext on disk. This means +that after resume your sensitive data are accessible to all +applications having direct access to the swap device which was used +for suspend. If you don't need swap after resume these data can remain +on disk virtually forever. Thus it can happen that your system gets +broken in weeks later and sensitive data which you thought were +encrypted and protected are retrieved and stolen from the swap device. +To prevent this situation you should use 'Encrypt suspend image'. + +During suspend a temporary key is created and this key is used to +encrypt the data written to disk. When, during resume, the data was +read back into memory the temporary key is destroyed which simply +means that all data written to disk during suspend are then +inaccessible so they can't be stolen later on. The only thing that +you must then take care of is that you call 'mkswap' for the swap +partition used for suspend as early as possible during regular +boot. This asserts that any temporary key from an oopsed suspend or +from a failed or aborted resume is erased from the swap device. + +As a rule of thumb use encrypted swap to protect your data while your +system is shut down or suspended. Additionally use the encrypted +suspend image to prevent sensitive data from being stolen after +resume. diff --git a/Documentation/power/video.txt b/Documentation/power/video.txt index 68734355d7c..881a37e3eeb 100644 --- a/Documentation/power/video.txt +++ b/Documentation/power/video.txt @@ -83,8 +83,10 @@ Compaq Armada E500 - P3-700 none (1) (S1 also works OK) Compaq Evo N620c vga=normal, s3_bios (2) Dell 600m, ATI R250 Lf none (1), but needs xorg-x11-6.8.1.902-1 Dell D600, ATI RV250 vga=normal and X, or try vbestate (6) +Dell D610 vga=normal and X (possibly vbestate (6) too, but not tested) Dell Inspiron 4000 ???
