In summary, the issues I found were: 1. iplist did not start; 2. iplist did not properly stop; 3. iplist not working after automatic update of blocklists; 4. not enough physical memory.

The Debian Etch repository held libnfnetlink version 0.0.16 and libnetfilter_queue version 0.0.12. The next step was to use latest versions from netfilter.org.

Part 2 chronicles my first attempt to build iplist on the Debian NSLU2. I started by using the official packages from the main repository, and the “standard Debian” build method used by iplist.
For the longest time, I have been wondering what I wanted to do with the hacked Linksys NSLU2. I don’t really need a NAS. I don’t need a file or media server. It a fun device to hack around, but ultimately, I would like a goal to aim for.
A couple of years ago, I found the need to share media files within my home, and being a cheapskate that I was, I bought a Linksys NSLU2, plus a generic harddisk enclosure. After a while, my family members moved out of the house and there was no longer a use for the “slug” and [...]
