| 05:57.44 | simonrvn | lspci is hexadecimal, x wants decimal. and on a one-video device box, you don't need that anyway |

| 06:15.31 | simonrvn | what's your kernel config (less /boot/config-$(uname -r) say? |
| 06:15.34 | simonrvn | ok |
| 06:15.44 | simonrvn | ) |
| 06:17.37 | gobbles | ./boot/config-2.4.27-powerpc |
| 06:18.12 | simonrvn | yes, check it out for the FB stuff, like: |
| 06:19.01 | simonrvn | CONFIG_FB_ATY_GX=y, # CONFIG_FB_ATY128 is not set CONFIG_FB_ATY=y |
| 06:19.06 | simonrvn | stuff like that |
| 06:19.59 | simonrvn | your box might need _FB_ATY128 and maybe ATY |
| 06:20.25 | simonrvn | if it's =m, then the person who did the kernel configuration is a dufus |
| 06:20.40 | simonrvn | (or didn't know any better) |
| 06:21.14 | gobbles | i see, this is the kernel .config isnt it ? |
| 06:21.24 | simonrvn | yes |
| 06:21.43 | simonrvn | debian installs it as config-$(uname -r), and places it in /boot |
| 06:22.01 | simonrvn | (i emulate that when i don't use make-kpkg) |
| 06:22.53 | xbaez | someone compile kernel 2.6.11 and did that sleep work in ibook g4 ? |
| 06:23.06 | simonrvn | some say it does |
| 06:24.17 | gobbles | the config has all the aty options as y |
| 06:24.26 | gobbles | only 4 or 5 are modules at all |
| 06:24.33 | gobbles | vga being one of them |
| 06:24.49 | simonrvn | ok, so the support is there |
| 06:25.06 | gobbles | ya but lsmod doesnt show it |
| 06:25.15 | gobbles | would that be in /proc/pci ? |
| 06:25.23 | simonrvn | atyfb: fb0: ATY Mach64 frame buffer device on PCI |
| 06:25.31 | simonrvn | it wouldn't. it's not a module |
| 06:25.45 | simonrvn | /proc/pci is where lspci gets its info |
| 06:26.19 | gobbles | ah i see. but i get blank if i dont set video=ofonlt so what set video=atyfb ? |
| 06:26.53 | simonrvn | isn't that the pc card you then flashed to mac? |
| 06:26.59 | gobbles | i have the fall back kernel 2.2.20 to work with |
| 06:27.06 | simonrvn | or is that a "mac native" one? |
| 06:27.14 | gobbles | no it was always a mac card |
| 06:27.18 | simonrvn | oh ok |
| 06:27.36 | gobbles | it was in a 5xxx mac |
| 06:27.59 | gobbles | the funny thing is the ati chip says agp 2x on it |
| 06:28.02 | simonrvn | afaik, that card *is* supported. i don't see why it would behave badly, unless atyfb isn't the fb name to use |
| 06:28.41 | simonrvn | yeh, there's combo pci/agp cards. apparently mine is too. an agp card with a pci interface. have no idea what that means |
| 06:28.49 | simonrvn | :) |
| 06:29.12 | gobbles | i have aty aty_gt aty_ct radeon and aty128 |
| 06:29.23 | gobbles | in the kernel config |
| 06:29.34 | gobbles | those are proper names right |
| 06:30.07 | simonrvn | the first 3 would use atyfb |
| 06:30.30 | simonrvn | the radeon would use radeonfb, and the last i have no clue |
| 06:30.41 | simonrvn | i *think* it's r128fb |
| 06:30.46 | gobbles | the way i tried it was video=atyfb but if it should be video=aty...i can see where my error might be |
| 06:31.00 | simonrvn | no, it always has 'fb' |
| 06:31.32 | gobbles | then the only choice left is aty128fb |
| 06:31.41 | simonrvn | ok, well,you could grep some kernel source see what option you can use for that card |
| 06:31.51 | simonrvn | yeh, could try that too |
| 06:32.03 | simonrvn | if it doesn't work, it'll drop to offb anyway |
| 06:32.17 | simonrvn | (which is 'ofonly') |
| 06:32.26 | gobbles | as i understand, your saying the 5 options are really 3 aty radeon and aty128 |
| 06:33.04 | simonrvn | they need the 'fb' on the end |
| 06:33.12 | gobbles | why would it not drop to ofonly in the first place |
| 06:33.25 | simonrvn | ...when you stick it in the bootloader conf |
| 06:33.51 | simonrvn | probably 'cause it tries to use it, and thinks it can. i could be wrong too |
| 06:34.04 | gobbles | ok bbl going to try |
| 06:34.12 | gobbles | thanks |

| 20:01.31 | cliffman | Grock, you need linux-wlan-ng |
| 20:02.21 | Grock | how do I get that to work? |
| 20:03.02 | cliffman | Grock, it's a package, you build it and it creates the necessary kernel module plus some tools |
| 20:03.29 | cliffman | Grock, i think it's www.linux-wlan.com, also sourceforge |
| 20:05.41 | Grock | it wants a compiled source for the running kernel |
| 20:07.16 | al_ | apt-get install kernel-image-2.6-powerpc |
| 20:12.13 | Grock | that's not on my debian apt-get list |
| 20:12.27 | Grock | where's my rc.local file |
| 20:16.36 | Grock | the linux-wlan-ng README says for USB Users make sure the drivers get loaded at boot time and that the necessary initialization takes place. The simplest way to do this is to add the folliwing commands to your rc.local file: |
| 20:17.02 | Grock | modrobe prism2_usb |
| 20:17.02 | Curalton | no rc.local on debian afaik |
| 20:17.42 | Grock | wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable |
| 20:17.58 | Grock | is there an equavalent? |
| 20:18.24 | Grock | where these commands get run?? |
| 20:18.49 | Grock | at boot time? |
| 20:21.02 | Bor_Ed | you can put those at the end of /etc/inittab ... that should do |
| 20:21.28 | Curalton | ew, hackish |
| 20:21.39 | Bor_Ed | but works :) |
| 20:21.41 | Curalton | hmm, there is indeed no "clean" file on debian i'd guess |
| 20:22.00 | Curalton | i would use some nasty self written /etc/init.d/ file for that.. |
| 20:22.17 | Bor_Ed | sysvinit format initscript to /etc/init.d/ would be the official way |

| 20:23.02 | terpstra | am I using the wrong module? |

| 20:27.51 | Curalton | from rcS.d |
| 20:27.52 | Curalton | should |

| 20:28.16 | Curalton | initscripts: /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh |
| 20:28.26 | Bor_Ed | yea, checked the thingy |
| 20:28.30 | terpstra | also, is pbbuttonsd / pmud preferrable |

| 20:29.19 | terpstra | Curalton what's better about it? |

| 20:30.30 | terpstra | pmud is not ? |
| 20:30.32 | Curalton | also has its own /etc/power.d system |
| 20:30.33 | Grock | ill see how that works thanks |

| 22:20.50 | Curalton | indeed |
| 22:21.51 | terpstra | man - is it even possible to replace the wireless card integrated into an ibook? |
| 22:23.51 | OC_Doppelganger | I think sony vaio has a model of wifi that is the same, but for ibook, not powerbook |
| 22:24.16 | OC_Doppelganger | and it is also b, prolly the same chipset too |
| 22:24.47 | cliffman | terpstra, the card pops right out, but i dunno about a replacement. I use USB dongle :( |
| 22:25.04 | terpstra | cliffman you have an ibook g4 too? |
| 22:25.08 | cliffman | Yes |
| 22:25.29 | terpstra | ... the weird part is i thought the wireless worked during the install, and stopped after i rebooted |
| 22:25.40 | terpstra | at least, i had 3 ethernet devices during the install |
| 22:25.58 | terpstra | now i only have 2 (firewire + lan) |
| 22:26.06 | cliffman | nope, the airport extreme has double-secret bits inside it. It detects, and might insmod orinoco, but no workee |
| 22:26.32 | terpstra | there's an ndiswrapper that makes it work under i386 it seems |
| 22:26.43 | terpstra | but, that's no good here. =( [!!!!] |
| 22:27.16 | cliffman | well, time wounds all heels. |
| 22:29.26 | terpstra | it's a mini-pci card or something? |

| 22:30.40 | terpstra | it runs linux just fine |
| 22:30.54 | terpstra | (it's mipsel) |
| 22:32.50 | cliffman | hmmm. |
| 22:41.29 | terpstra | so, it seems that broadcom released a closed-source driver for linux built for mipsel. |
| 22:41.31 | terpstra | but none for ppc. |
| 22:41.42 | terpstra | screw you broadcom! |
| 22:44.50 | al_ | asus wl500g chipset is under gpl |
| 22:44.57 | al_ | s/chipset/firmware/ |
| 22:47.11 | cliffman | http://wl500g.dyndns.org/ has some info |
| 22:48.19 | terpstra | sure, but it uses a binary driver for the card |
| 22:48.51 | terpstra | i run openwrt on the the asus wl500g already |
| 22:55.22 | cliffman | oh, sigh |
| 22:57.58 | terpstra | it seems like the card could be replaced |
| 22:58.17 | terpstra | if it's a normal mini-pci card, a different card could be swapped in |

| 23:07.44 | terpstra | has anyone found a solution to this? is anyone reverse engineering the driver / working on one? |
| 23:08.05 | al_ | even the specifications are closed, that's not easy.. |
| 23:08.26 | terpstra | we have 3 working drivers though: macos, windows, linux/mipsel |
| 23:08.36 | pahartik | terpstra: i do not have strong opinion about it, it was easy to sell Airport Extreme adapter to MacOS X user who did not mind about not having open source driver and use built-in Bluetooth and wired ethernet instead |
| 23:08.57 | terpstra | what is the range of bluetooth? |
