Raqcop 2.1.1 can be downloaded here: 
http://downloads.raqcop.com/cobalt_ipcop/. 

Note: The addition of a link quality graph may require hand editing in the 
makegraphs script if your isp gateway does not allow pinging. In 
/usr/local/bin/makegraphs

You will see lines 696 and 697 as such:

my $LQ_GATEWAY="$remoteip"; # Your ISP's Gateway, Comment Out if Not 
Pingable.
#my $LQ_GATEWAY="$remoteip2"; # Google DNS, Uncomment if ISP Gateway Not 
Pingable.

If you aren't getting anything but lost packets, it likely means that your 
isp gateway is not pingable. Comment out line 696 and uncomment line 697. 
Line 697 refers to a function on line 54  which reads: my $remoteip2 = 
"8.8.8.8"; # Google DNS
This can be changed to anything you desire to measure ping time against.

Also new is the ability to set the script I always included which updates 
both the pci and usb ids as a scheduler event.

Everything else that IPCop 2.1.1 brings also applies here. If you are 
going to run urlfilter I recommend a 450mhz machine with at least 384MB of 
ram.

2.1.0 and 2.1.1 updates are available as a pair. If you are running 2.0.6 
and you do these updates, you will need to copy the values from 
/sbin/lcd.old to /sbin/lcd. It is best to edit lcd after you ran the 2.1.1 
update but before you reboot. If not, you can do this anytime. To do so, 
send the command 'killall lcd', edit the values over and then run 'lcd -
loop > /dev/null 2>&1 &'.

If you do a backup after installing these updates and editing the lcd 
program, you will be able to do a clean install with the 2.1.1 cd and use 
this backup with no further intervention. This program should not update 
often in Raqcop. This time it was necessary due to changes in ifconfig. I 
found it easier to use /sys to get the needed information in order to 
calculate bandwidth.

For those who do a clean install with the 2.1.1 iso and use an old usb 
backup to restore with, you will need to download the new lcd program and 
decompress it into /sbin and edit as per the above instructions. It is here:

PS: The updates and iso for VMware or VirtualBox installation are available 
now. I will make images over the next day or two for those that want a pre-
made image to overwrite a drive.
