Updates since 1.10.3:
New: Full support for PCI / MiniPCI Prism 2.5 wireless cards. These devices are listed as `wpci`, while pcmcia continue to be listed as `wlan` devices. PCI Prism 2.5 cards can be used in the keying process if no ethernets are needed in the system.
New: Network connection tracking table size is now adjustable. The new option is under the `Advanced` menu.
New: The ability to clone your running system onto a different drive has been included, and is located under the `System` menu.
Updated: Wireless Access Points now automatically update the signal readings from the associated clients without the need for the client to transmit data.
Updated: There is now support for a maximum of 8 Wireless devices, pci or pcmcia.
Updated: The internal name of the Wireless devices have changed and are no longer listed as ethX. Wireless pcmcia are now wpcmX, and pci cards are wpciX. MRTG / SNMP devices names should be updated accordingly.
Updated: Ping watchdog has been updated to give a 2 minute delay on bootup as to avoid problems with down networks while trying to log in, if a short reboot delay was specified.
-------------
NOTE to PCI Tulip card users: The Ethernet card ordering has been changed since version 1.10.1 in that the Tulip-based PCI cards are now detected LAST. Please review your setup before performing an upgrade as your cables may need to be switched around if you use this type of card.
NOTE to Intersil Prism 2.5 card users: To operate as an Access Point, or use the new volatile firmware update feature, your card must have primary firmware v1.0.7 or higher. To check and see what version your card uses, you can look in the Kernel message log. Prism 2, and other brands of cards do not have this requirement. To solve this problem, simply obtain a Windows firmware upgrade utility from the card manufacturer. (The firmware utility will upgrade both the primary and secondary firmware on your card)
