Now that OpenWRT 8.09 has been released, I finally took the time to write down my notes on how to use it together with the Huawei E220 dongle, which supports 3G/HSDPA.
The writeup on how to do this is long, so I put it at a separate page:

The GnuTLS trac installation is in a poor shape. To fix that, I looked into alternatives and found Redmine. Redmine appears to do most things that I liked in Trac (wiki, roadmap and issue tracking) plus it supports more than one project (would come in handy for my other projects) and has built-in git support. I would like to see better spam handling and OpenID support, but it is good enough for our purposes now, and there are similar concerns with trac.
However, getting it up and running with lighttpd on a modern debian lenny installation was not trivial, and I needed some help from #redmine (thanks stbuehler). After finally getting it up and running, I made a copy of the machine using rsync and rsnapshot, so I could re-create a working configuration if I get stuck, and then re-installed the virtual machine.
The notes below are the steps required to set up Redmine using Lighttpd and MySQL on a Debian Lenny. I’m posting this to help others searching for the error messages I got, and to help my own memory in case I need to re-install the server sometime.

The Free Software & Culture conference FSCONS is held in Gothenburg October 24-26th. Having been there and given talks last year, I can recommend it for anyway interested in what’s going on the free software and culture world.
I’m happy and proud to notice that I have been nominated for their award, for my work on security packages for the GNU project. Too bad I cannot make it to the conference this year.
Thanks to Henrik Schack‘s great work in developing a WordPress Yubikey plugin, I now use two-factor hardware-assisted authentication technology (i.e., the Yubikey) to log in to my blog. Kudos, Henrik!
Since my server still uses php4 (sigh), I had to create a small patch to make it use mhash instead of hash.
