| 16:11.39 | eFfeM | pumpkin0 I'm here, drop your Q; I'm back in 5 or 10 mins (need to watch the dutch skating team at the olympics) |
| 16:16.02 | eFfeM | back |
| 16:16.09 | pumpkin0 | How's the score ...? :) installed under openslug 2.7 like described here http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/InstallWinTVPVRUSB2 (the "Simplified instructions for OpenSlug 2.7"-Way). After connecting the kernel tries to load the FW, fails with "user.info kernel: pvrusb2 Failure uploading firmware" (full log: http://tsn.dk/p/?id=3803). I have no idead what to try next. |
| 16:16.43 | eFfeM | it was a team chase and the dutch team fell so italy moves to the finals |
| 16:17.02 | VoodooZ | How's Canada doing? |
| 16:17.08 | VoodooZ | badly as usual? |
| 16:17.21 | eFfeM | they are about to go (against norway) |
| 16:17.40 | eFfeM | VoodooZ, I'll keep you posted |
| 16:17.44 | VoodooZ | cool. |
| 16:18.19 | eFfeM | pumpkin0 did you extract the firmware ? |
| 16:18.55 | eFfeM | apparently the http server is not giving the log |
| 16:18.56 | pumpkin0 | yes. tried fwextract and fwfind. |
| 16:19.15 | eFfeM | now got it |
| 16:19.48 | eFfeM | let's try to find where this fw should go, this is a little bit version dependent. Where have you put it? |
| 16:19.59 | pumpkin0 | /lib/firmware |
| 16:20.19 | eFfeM | and your os version? |
| 16:20.27 | pumpkin0 | openslug 2.7 beta |
| 16:21.24 | eFfeM | cd /etc/hotplug.d/firmware |
| 16:21.35 | eFfeM | do you have that dir? |
| 16:21.58 | pumpkin0 | yes, with the 2 firmware. files. |
| 16:22.01 | eFfeM | seem to recall that hotplug in 2.7 was a little bit different |
| 16:22.03 | eFfeM | ok |
| 16:22.29 | eFfeM | in that dir do grep FIRMWARE * |
| 16:22.36 | pumpkin0 | Maybe the case. /LOG is not created, so i think the scripts are not called. |
| 16:22.53 | eFfeM | you should get a line: firmware.hotplug:FIRMWARE_DIR=/lib/firmware |
| 16:23.17 | pumpkin0 | yes, got it. |
| 16:23.28 | eFfeM | VoodooZ, Canada just reached the finals |
| 16:24.01 | eFfeM | don't know the actual name of the sport in english, but is is when two teams chase after each other |
| 16:24.13 | eFfeM | pumpkin0 if that line is there your config is ok. hang on |
| 16:27.27 | eFfeM | pumpkin0you might want to try to add an echo line in the beginning of hotplug.functions |
| 16:28.28 | pumpkin0 | I'm adding "touch /IWASHERE1" everywhere into functions.hotplug. I think it does not survive the call to firmware.functions.... |
| 16:28.51 | eFfeM | does it start firmware.functions? |
| 16:29.04 | pumpkin0 | testing, wait a sec ... |
| 16:29.10 | eFfeM | btw my favourite debug statement is echo 1 >>/LOG |
| 16:29.14 | eFfeM | or 2 or 3 or 4 or ... |
| 16:29.26 | eFfeM | dinnertime in NL, back in a while.... |
| 16:32.26 | pumpkin0 | I'm so stupid. The 2. script was not executable. THX everybody. |
| 16:33.45 | VoodooZ | eFfeM, good. |
| 16:34.05 | VoodooZ | eFfeM, you mean the relay speed skating thing? |

| 18:11.43 | NAiL | hmm |
| 18:11.44 | eFfeM | pumpkin0, good that you found it |
| 18:11.47 | NAiL | Canada beat Norway? |
| 18:11.53 | eFfeM | yes |
| 18:11.56 | NAiL | grrrrrr |
| 18:11.57 | VoodooZ | ok. I'm just trying to imagine what it looks like as I'm no olympic sport expert. |
| 18:12.01 | VoodooZ | hehehe |
| 18:12.02 | NAiL | ;) |
| 18:12.06 | VoodooZ | Canada rules! :) |
| 18:12.10 | NAiL | hey! |
| 18:12.16 | neongrau | what game? |
| 18:12.23 | VoodooZ | we suck at most other sport (except hockey of course!) |
| 18:12.47 | NAiL | Gretsky? ;) |
| 18:13.09 | eFfeM | neongrau, mens skating team pursuit |
| 18:13.20 | neongrau | isnt his name Gretzky ? |
| 18:13.23 | VoodooZ | s/s/z/ |
| 18:13.30 | VoodooZ | oops. |
| 18:13.35 | VoodooZ | yep. it's a Z |
| 18:13.53 | eFfeM | NAiL, you're from norway? (figured out from your name that you were scandinavian) |
| 18:13.53 | neongrau | lol |
| 18:13.55 | NAiL | wtf? You beat us in Curling too? |
| 18:13.55 | VoodooZ | our female team is doing pretty good also. |
| 18:14.22 | VoodooZ | probably. |
| 18:14.26 | eFfeM | i like those snowboard guys and girls |
| 18:14.29 | VoodooZ | :) |
| 18:14.53 | VoodooZ | nah. |
| 18:15.02 | eFfeM | and I really admire the courage of the people doing skeleton bob; on such a small thing with 100 km/h 70mph |
| 18:15.09 | VoodooZ | I don't like sport where the score is based on human errors (judge) |
| 18:15.15 | eFfeM | seems pretty suicidal |
| 18:15.43 | VoodooZ | like figure skating for example.. |
| 18:15.46 | eFfeM | like bowling or darts |
| 18:15.50 | neongrau | they should do beach volleyball at the wintergames (but women teams only ;)) |
| 18:15.56 | VoodooZ | hehehe |
| 18:16.10 | eFfeM | yeah, of course only topless ... |
| 18:16.19 | eFfeM | not the bowling the beach volley |
| 18:16.36 | eFfeM | VoodooZ, I don't need bowling for that |
| 18:16.43 | NAiL | Usually my trips to the bowling alley end up with a late night on town ;) |
| 18:16.44 | VoodooZ | heheeh |
| 18:16.53 | neongrau | eFfeM: not necessarily, the summer dresses are enough, the cold should do the rest *g* |
| 18:17.26 | VoodooZ | belgium? |
| 18:17.30 | eFfeM | yup |
| 18:17.34 | VoodooZ | nice! |
| 18:17.50 | VoodooZ | ouch! |
| 18:17.51 | eFfeM | come over and I'll serve you one as a reward for winning this little quiz ... |
| 18:18.25 | NAiL | I think Belgium is one of the european countries I *haven't* visited :-P |
| 18:18.27 | VoodooZ | I'm not much of a beer drinker (i prefer rhum or whiskey) but I like Hoe Garden. |
| 18:18.35 | eFfeM | hoegaarden |
| 18:18.46 | NAiL | Nah, Ho' Garden :-P |
| 18:18.59 | VoodooZ | My girlfriend is Italian so that's the first place I'll go. |
| 18:19.15 | VoodooZ | My dream is to rent a motorcycle and ride around england & Italy. |
| 18:19.39 | eFfeM | VoodooZ, build yourself a nice bot, become can then n am champ and be invited to a world championship in europe |
| 18:19.58 | VoodooZ | hehehe. yeah. that's possible. NOT! |
| 18:19.59 | neongrau | NAiL: try t mix it with cola tastes much better, but don't dare to order s.th. like that in bavara, you might get killed ;) |
| 18:20.01 | eFfeM | btw the finals pursuit have been and I hate to say this VoodooZ, but italy defeated can |
| 18:20.21 | eFfeM | does that mean trouble with your gf? |
| 18:20.25 | NAiL | Bavara? Germany? |
| 18:20.26 | neongrau | s/bavara/bavaria/ |
| 18:20.29 | NAiL | yes |
| 18:20.45 | NAiL | one of my Xes is from bavaria :-P |
| 18:20.55 | NAiL | She mentioned mixing beer with soda |
| 18:21.06 | eFfeM | yikes, that hurt |
| 18:21.37 | eFfeM | almost like buying an expensive malt whiskey and add water ... |
| 18:22.01 | VoodooZ | oh well, we got in the finals at least. |
| 18:22.07 | VoodooZ | Did we win something out of this? |
| 18:22.14 | eFfeM | yup. NL became 3rd |
| 18:22.14 | NAiL | neongrau: That stuff has a name, doesn't it? |
| 18:22.18 | neongrau | eFfeM: thats not so unlikely, especially the japanese do that alot |
| 18:22.27 | eFfeM | VoodooZ, silver medals |
| 18:22.36 | neongrau | NAiL: beer with soda? |
| 18:22.40 | VoodooZ | good enough for me. |
| 18:22.41 | NAiL | neongrau: yeah |
| 18:22.50 | NAiL | eFfeM: They do have some good beer |
| 18:23.06 | eFfeM | no japanese online I hope |
| 18:23.18 | neongrau | NAiL: sure, different names, diesel -> cola+beer |
| 18:23.25 | VoodooZ | I'm just imagining a small japanese man trying to outdrink a 200lb canadian. :) |
| 18:23.38 | eFfeM | NAiL, I'm mostly into belgian beer although I had some good german ones and even some good US ones (mostly microbrews) |
| 18:23.56 | VoodooZ | Unlike americans we drink beer that doesn't taste like water. |
| 18:24.01 | neongrau | VoodooZ: even a 200lb japanese would have trouble outdrinking a 100lb canadian girl |
| 18:24.08 | VoodooZ | hahahaha. |
| 18:24.11 | eFfeM | lol |
| 18:24.20 | VoodooZ | good point. |
| 18:24.39 | VoodooZ | Did you see the movie 'European Gigolo' ? |
| 18:24.47 | eFfeM | need a reboot, back in a few minutes |
| 18:25.04 | VoodooZ | an american movie. they made fun of us Canucks being party animals. a stereotype. |
| 18:25.31 | neongrau | asians lack the enzyme to process alcohol, they get drunk x-times as fast and need twice as long to get sober |
| 18:25.50 | VoodooZ | really. that's a fact? |
| 18:25.55 | neongrau | thats a fact |
| 18:26.08 | neongrau | same for native-americans |
| 18:26.10 | VoodooZ | I just meant by sheer body mass. |
| 18:26.22 | VoodooZ | lucky them really. Much cheaper! |

| 18:27.57 | VoodooZ | Yeah, my buddy is a much bigger beer connaisseur and he loves german beers |
| 18:29.27 | neongrau | when i was in ireladn 2 years ago for a concert. i was planning to drink some good irish beer. but when i was there i had to realize the whole event was sponsored by budweiser. so no beer :( |
| 18:30.30 | VoodooZ | just water! |
| 18:30.55 | NAiL | neongrau: I used to live in Ireland ;) |
| 18:31.03 | neongrau | VoodooZ: yep, pretty disappointing |
| 18:31.47 | neongrau | NAiL: damn nice country. and even nicer people. no comparison to germany or usa |
| 18:32.10 | NAiL | And lots of beer ;) |
| 18:32.32 | VoodooZ | A lot of americans in the boston/washington area cross over the canadian border to come drink in quebec where booze is stronger and the age limit is lower. |
| 18:33.05 | neongrau | hehe, just like the germans who visit holland *g* |
| 18:33.05 | VoodooZ | Those crazy canadians! eh! :) |
| 18:33.30 | NAiL | that's a nice place |
| 18:34.01 | neongrau | afair i have some relatives in canada |
| 18:34.56 | VoodooZ | NAiL, NB? do you know Keith's? |
| 18:35.02 | eFfeM | actually my slug was bought at the walmart in princeton ! |
| 18:35.09 | VoodooZ | hehe |
| 18:35.27 | neongrau | too bad they're distant relatives, so i don't really know them. would be cool to go there for holidays |
| 18:35.47 | VoodooZ | I did a motorcycle trip with a buddy to the east-coast (nova scotia) and it was AMAZING! NB was boring but a real race track! |
| 18:35.47 | NAiL | Keith's? No, don't think so. |
| 18:36.06 | VoodooZ | It's just a popular beer from nova scotia |
| 18:36.10 | NAiL | This was like... back in '94. I can't remember that much :-P |
| 18:36.22 | VoodooZ | damn beer! |
| 18:36.38 | NAiL | Nah, back in '94 I was 16 |
| 18:36.58 | VoodooZ | yeah, I wish I knew more poeple abroad. to take advantage of cheap trips to europe. |
| 18:37.16 | NAiL | Only thing I remember about beer was this tv-commercial that said "If it's not ice brewed, it's not ice beer". |
| 18:37.33 | VoodooZ | my girlfriend knows a guy in Paris so sometimes he comes here and once she went there. It's a nice way to save money and have a personal guide |
| 18:37.45 | VoodooZ | hehehe. sounds familiar |
| 18:38.02 | neongrau | NAiL: do you know "Leffe" |
| 18:38.15 | NAiL | Doesn't ring a bell |
| 18:38.39 | VoodooZ | I think somebody was drinking that at the x-mas party. |
| 18:38.39 | eFfeM | leffe is ok, but personally i prefer westmalle |
| 18:38.50 | neongrau | or who was that with the belgian beer? |
| 18:38.54 | eFfeM | its a "trappist" beer |
| 18:38.56 | VoodooZ | my buddy is a big fan of czek beer |
| 18:39.44 | neongrau | i drank leffe the whole night in den haag. really delicious! |
| 18:40.32 | eFfeM | neongrau, tell us about the next day :-) |
| 18:40.38 | VoodooZ | hehehe |
| 18:40.40 | neongrau | but it's damn "heavy" i bet it has more calories then coke |
| 18:40.45 | eFfeM | yup |
| 18:40.55 | eFfeM | and no diet variety |
| 18:40.57 | VoodooZ | A good beer to fight a hang-over is bud, because it's like drinking water! :) |
| 18:41.25 | eFfeM | hmm actually I find it closer to h**rsep*ss |
| 18:41.41 | VoodooZ | VoodooZ's #1 tip of fight a hang-over: 3 eggs, sausage and lots of water! |
| 18:41.47 | eFfeM | s/ h**rsep*ss/ h*rsep*ss/ |
| 18:41.47 | neongrau | lol |
| 18:41.51 | VoodooZ | eggs are proven to help with hang-overs. |
| 18:43.43 | eFfeM | something completely different: anyone willing to try my rt2x00 bb file to see where the problem is; I think it is obvious but my bb writing knowledge sucks |
| 18:44.08 | neongrau | btw. has anyone tried other devices like the slug to run a custom linux on it? |
| 18:44.24 | eFfeM | make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. |
| 18:44.37 | NAiL | eFfeM: Does it go into the right dir? |
| 18:44.51 | NAiL | because it can't find Makefile when doing make. |
| 18:44.54 | eFfeM | yes, I added a pwd >~/LOG and it is in the good dir |
| 18:45.07 | eFfeM | that's why I was wondering if someone would give it a try |
| 18:45.17 | NAiL | neongrau: I'm trying to get the Synology DS101 working with 2.6 right now. |

| 18:45.55 | neongrau | any experiences with that asus wl-hdd ? |
| 18:46.23 | NAiL | There's someone that has /something/ running on it. But I don't know what. |
| 18:46.34 | NAiL | I've got a WL500gx, works like a charm :) |
| 18:47.53 | neongrau | that wl-hdd looks to cool. smaller than a slug but wlan built in and space to put a 2.5" hdd in it |
| 18:48.56 | eFfeM | NAiL, interested to give my bb file a spin? it is at http://84.87.135.248/rt2x00.bb |
| 18:52.59 | NAiL | eFfeM: Ok, the makefile needs to be hacked |
| 18:53.04 | NAiL | you're using the wrong dir too ;) |
| 18:53.17 | eFfeM | ok, enlighten me.... |
| 18:53.52 | eFfeM | just found out that I have the wrong dir, but not yet an idea what I need |
| 18:54.08 | NAiL | ah, you need to lock the CVS version thingy |

| 18:54.20 | eFfeM | I'm not too good with cvs |
| 18:54.27 | NAiL | no, you don't need to be |
| 18:54.50 | NAiL | look in openembedded/conf/distro/, grep for PREFERRED (or DATE, can't remember) |

| 19:05.21 | CIA-8 | 03orepvik * 10kernel/2.6.16/97-ds101-buttons.patch: Spelling mistake |
| 19:07.32 | VoodooZ | NAiL, are these changesets specific to these machines or? |
| 19:08.19 | NAiL | Specific to the DS101, yes. |
| 19:08.31 | NAiL | And, afaik, I'm the only one with the ds101 ;) |

| 19:25.54 | eFfeM | back |
| 19:33.15 | eFfeM | neongrau, congrats |
| 19:43.05 | neongrau | now i'm compiling the whole coreutils. im hoping to get "uptime" working :S |
| 19:50.05 | VoodooZ | what do people suggest in terms of PCI wireless card to get for the best linux support? |
| 19:50.29 | VoodooZ | 802.11 B is good enough for me as that's all my portable has anyways. |
| 19:50.42 | VoodooZ | the cheaper the better. |
| 19:50.50 | NAiL | In that case, I'm satisfied with 3Com |
| 19:51.13 | VoodooZ | model? |
| 19:51.32 | NAiL | Can't remember. Don't think they've got many PCI models |
| 19:51.37 | VoodooZ | Any D-link users here? the local shop has mostly Dlink. |
| 19:52.01 | VoodooZ | It's for my firewall/router box so I'd prefer PCI but USB could do too. |
| 19:52.40 | VoodooZ | which one? |
| 19:52.59 | VoodooZ | i have 511+ |
| 19:53.50 | NAiL | I don't have it with me unfortunately. I didn't bother trying hard to get it to work since I had a spare 3Com G-card lying around |
| 19:54.15 | VoodooZ | ya |
| 19:54.41 | VoodooZ | actually mine is the DWL650+ |
| 19:55.00 | NAiL | hmmm... what is the point of this: |
| 19:55.02 | NAiL | #ifdef DEEPDEBUG |
| 19:55.03 | NAiL | static short __initdata fl_debug = 1; |
| 19:55.03 | NAiL | #else |
| 19:55.03 | NAiL | static short __initdata fl_debug = 1; |
| 19:55.03 | NAiL | #endif |
| 19:55.26 | NAiL | Isn't that kinda... *pointless*? |

| 20:06.51 | eFfeM-log | think I managed to build the wifi driver. buyt need a suggestion on how to enable it. iwconfig says it is eth1, but ifconfig up eth1 followed by ifconfig does still not list it |
| 20:07.02 | eFfeM-log | and with iwconfig I cannot get it associated |
| 20:07.15 | eFfeM-log | any suggestions what magic incantation is needed here? |
| 20:08.33 | NAiL | what does iwconfig (no params) say? |
| 20:08.57 | eFfeM-log | a set of lines for eth0 and ditto for lo |
| 20:09.01 | eFfeM-log | no eth1 |
| 20:09.11 | NAiL | hmm |
| 20:09.18 | NAiL | anything useful in dmesg? |
| 20:09.34 | eFfeM-log | nope |
| 20:10.48 | VoodooZ | which dongle is that again? |
| 20:10.51 | eFfeM-log | its a sweex, has a ralink chipset, I'm using the rt2x00 driver |
| 20:11.04 | eFfeM-log | with 2500usb which should also work for 2570 |
| 20:11.13 | VoodooZ | ok. |
| 20:11.14 | eFfeM-log | as far as I've been informed |
| 20:11.22 | VoodooZ | not something available around here I think. |
| 20:11.47 | eFfeM-log | it is a fairly standard thingie in a lot of no-name dongles |
| 20:12.16 | eFfeM-log | actually their web site told it had the zydas chip and it was also mentioned without type number on the zydas driver website |
| 20:12.48 | eFfeM-log | apparently they changed chipsets and bumped the version number but did not update the doc on their web |
| 20:13.15 | VoodooZ | I'm starting to look for a wifi PCI card or USB dongle for my router box as my back is killing me and I'd rather use my "portable" from the couch than my computer desk. |
| 20:13.42 | VoodooZ | I just want something dirt cheap and supported by linux. |
| 20:14.52 | eFfeM-log | hey, again tried iwconfig eth1 up and it suddenly is showing up |
| 20:15.30 | eFfeM-log | next challenge is to get it associated |
| 20:16.19 | VoodooZ | that's where I'm acomplete noob |
| 20:17.01 | eFfeM | i've done this before on my laptop with the build-in card, but I am definitely not good at it |
| 20:17.04 | VoodooZ | that's a reason why I haven't been using my portable in a "portable" fashion yet. (Sad). |
| 20:17.16 | VoodooZ | I'm too paranoid about security. |
| 20:17.52 | VoodooZ | I'd need to setup my firewall accordingly and I know WEP is a joke so I'm wondering what else I can do. |
| 20:18.04 | eFfeM | WPA |
| 20:18.12 | VoodooZ | If I could marry my 2 wifi devices together and block everytthing else that would be perfect. |
| 20:18.23 | VoodooZ | yeah but WPA is not available on my old 802.11B |
| 20:18.35 | eFfeM | ah, ok |
| 20:19.09 | VoodooZ | I guess I could instruct my firewall to pass only certain ethernet ID. |
| 20:29.15 | eFfeM | you can do mac filtering, but of course you can also spoof mac addresses |
| 20:30.02 | VoodooZ | yeah. that's what I was afraid of. |
| 20:30.42 | VoodooZ | Perhaps with a combination of WEP, mac filtering and a seperate subnet with firewall would do fine. |
| 20:31.12 | eFfeM | do you live in a hacker sensitive area? |
| 20:31.19 | VoodooZ | I don't want the wireless lan to have full access to my private wired one. For me wireless is just a convenient way to work/surf from the couch so... |
| 20:31.34 | eFfeM | my neighbours are all noobs and don't have theknowledge to hack me |
| 20:31.45 | VoodooZ | well, there's no statistics available to prove that! :) |
| 20:31.59 | VoodooZ | still, I'd rather not expose myself. |
| 20:32.10 | eFfeM | also turn off ssid broadcasting |
| 20:32.16 | eFfeM | and you could even try to reduce tx power |
| 20:32.17 | NAiL | use openvpn and filter out all ports except 1194 |
| 20:32.18 | VoodooZ | lots of script kiddies around the university here. |
| 20:32.22 | VoodooZ | definitely. |
| 20:32.40 | eFfeM | yeah vpn would definily help |
| 20:32.44 | VoodooZ | yeah. that's the thing I need to read about: VPN |
| 20:32.55 | VoodooZ | NAiL, you recommend openvpn? |
| 20:33.10 | NAiL | set up openvpn with certs (easy if you follow the howto), set up the server in bridge mode, and off you go :) |
| 20:33.14 | VoodooZ | never played with it. |
| 20:33.33 | VoodooZ | cool. I'll check it out. thanks for the tips guys. |
| 20:33.37 | NAiL | np |
| 20:33.49 | VoodooZ | now I just need to actually pickup a wifi device... which one....hmmm. |
| 20:34.15 | NAiL | Are you using an AP, or are you just gonna do ad-hoc? |
| 20:34.50 | VoodooZ | no AP. or at least not with dedicated hardware. I just want to plug it in my firewall linux box. |
| 20:35.02 | NAiL | ah, ok |
| 20:35.13 | VoodooZ | which one do u recommend? |
| 20:35.19 | VoodooZ | Can one do AP under linux? |
| 20:35.56 | NAiL | with some cards, yes |
| 20:36.07 | NAiL | the ZD1211 usb-dongles can do AP for instance ;) |
| 20:36.07 | VoodooZ | which is more secure? |
| 20:36.19 | VoodooZ | which company is that? |
| 20:36.38 | eFfeM | zydas |
| 20:36.40 | NAiL | Zydas. It's a somewhat common chipset. |
| 20:37.09 | NAiL | Look at zd1211.ath.cx for the dongles that use it |
| 20:37.14 | VoodooZ | ok... |
| 20:37.26 | VoodooZ | and those are well supported under linux? |
| 20:37.44 | eFfeM | yup |
| 20:38.16 | NAiL | It seems to be working OK now. There has been problems earlier, but it's being actively maintained ;) |
| 20:39.21 | VoodooZ | good. Now I just need to find out what's available in the store around the corner so I can pick one up tonight. (while I'm motivated!) |
| 20:40.31 | VoodooZ | it doesn't look like D-link makes any such dongles though. |
| 20:41.26 | VoodooZ | most of the companies seem to be hard to get in the americas. |
| 20:41.40 | NAiL | 3Com? :) |
| 20:41.58 | VoodooZ | yah, except for that one. |
| 20:42.20 | NAiL | CompUSA wireless dongle? :P |
| 20:43.31 | VoodooZ | perhaps but not something you'd find a local computer shop. |
| 20:43.46 | VoodooZ | I'm on the phone with one right now to find out what they have. |
| 20:43.49 | VoodooZ | probably all d-link |
| 20:45.16 | VoodooZ | nah. they only have D-link DWL-G510 and DWL-G122 (USB) |
| 20:45.23 | VoodooZ | a small shop but it's close. |
| 20:50.21 | VoodooZ | nah! these things use the ndiswrapper so there's no way I'm dealing with that crap. |
| 20:51.09 | NAiL | ugh |
| 20:51.13 | NAiL | won't work on the slug either |
| 20:51.24 | VoodooZ | yeah. |
| 20:51.49 | VoodooZ | the zydas looks pretty damn complete. They support ARM, 64bits and lots of other features. impressive. |
| 20:52.00 | VoodooZ | I'll check on ebay... |
| 20:55.58 | NAiL | both arm and armeb, mind you ;) |
| 20:56.23 | VoodooZ | nice |
| 20:56.23 | NAiL | They're cheap too |
| 20:56.40 | NAiL | The 3Com dongle I bought was almost the cheapest they had available |
| 20:57.24 | VoodooZ | really? I saw it for 150$ on ebay. that's not cheap. |
| 20:57.36 | VoodooZ | the d-link are 53$CDN. |
| 20:57.43 | NAiL | I think I paid Â$50 |
| 20:58.10 | VoodooZ | it makes more sense. |
| 20:59.35 | eFfeM | my sweex was about eur 20 |
| 21:01.06 | VoodooZ | I'll have to visit my local future shop or bestbuy i guess. |

| 21:31.13 | kaenat | I just got myself a nslu2 and I'm putting on a 34-pin header on it. My header hangs over the edge of the power connector by about 1mm due to the ribbon cable butting up against C45. Is this ok? I'm concerned that I might not fit it back in the case like this. |
