compiling firmware for ipsec

[cosmoxl]

Have seen the info about ipsec being incompatible with some new things and that we'd have to compile our own to return kernel support for ipsec.

Please give me a short summary of what it would take to compile my own firmware that includes ipsec. I have no linux box currently and have never compiled previously. But, I'm just another home user that finds l2tp/ipsec very handy to have as an option to connect to a VPN service because it (for some reason, not CPU usage) is usually faster than openVPN. And I have no need for the new QOS, etc. I'm using the AC68. Thanks.

See the wiki for instructions on how to setup a build environment using a Virtual Machine (with Virtualbox for example).

In target.mak, just make sure that BWDPI is set to "n", and IPSEC is set to "y".
