Hello,
- Did anyone successfully install HamPi_v3.1_32bit.img.xz with an PI?
No boot with me.
- Is there an hamradio that actually and really uses an PI on the Hamnet
network or is it a "Fake" ?
What is your best solution to use HAMNET ?
An repackaged old PC with a Debian ?
Any ideas ?
I’d like to use something other than a Mikrotik :-)

I don't know if there has now been added functionality, but I have tried this in the
past and as far as I remember it is a Pi image with some hamradio oriented software
already pre-installed. It has a webserver with some standard items, etc.
So it is not intended to function as a router, more as an application server.
But maybe all of that has changed... I don't see a description of what it actually
is
on the download site.
What you require to connect and route will depend on how you want to make your
connection. What you want installed on the system depends on what you expect it
to do. So such generic images do not always fit.
A PC or Pi with Debian can do everything you may want, at least when you have the
skills to install and configure it.

Hi Frederic,

Here, in Corsica, we separate network access and applications, using the
following scheme :
- Dedicated routers ("TKBoxes"), which are low-cost commercial routers
flashed with OpenWRT. Prices are starting at $30. See OpenWRT hardware
compatibility list :
https://openwrt.org/supported_devices
- Raspberry Pi (and various other models) for applications only
Separating network and applications is IMHO a good practice :-) Here,
the TKBoxes do the tricky job of connecting to the central POPs in PnP /
NAT traversal mode, and routing two separate subnets / VLANs (HamNet and
public Internet). Then, the PCs and PIs hosting applications are simply
configured behind the boxes, in fixed IP.
I never tried to implement the "classic" HamNet with IP-IP tunnels and
modified ripd on OpenWRT, but I read some things about that in the past,
and that should be doable. You can also contact French 44.168 network
team, and build a GRE/L2TP/iBGP tunnel with them.

OpenWRT is some kind of "mini-Linux" for routers. It's modular,
open-source, and well-supported on various hardware brands and models
(including Mikrotik, HI). It's IMHO the platform of choice for ham radio
networking in general.
