At the moment you cannot use rsync because I have no server at the net 
(my provider has nat but not port forwarding) but this will
change it the near future ...
Do you have an ftp server where I can put it.  If not I can send you be 
email (about 3M)
The packages are still not very tested ...
wpa_supplicant and hostapd works fine with wpa-psk and eap-tls, kismet, 
wavemon no problem.
BTW1: I've used the templates from debian packages.
BTW2: What I've forgotten: The modules I have built are for wrap only 
without floppy, usb etc.
Maybe we should create to tar file one with minimum support and one with 
the whole stuff so anybody
can delete and remove what he don't need or use the wrap stuff rigth of 
the box.

The packages are in test phase and I'm very busy at the moment but 
that's live :-)

I don't know the real implications but to belong to group voice is not 
very nice. I don't know which progs
belongs to voice i.e. could manipulate this file so who, last etc. won't 
disply the logged in users.
Have you built the distro on Suse? Because on Suse the group 22 (which 
is now set) is utmp and on
debian the group 22 is  voice and group 43 is utmp.

I tried to go to your site to verify that I had not done something bad 
with the owner
(unpack/pack of tar) but I cannot reach it. Could you verify if the 
owner of this files
are the groups 22 or 43 (ls -ln /var/log)

Greetings
