| 00:00.19 | benoitc | ok have to think abot it, time to sleep a little, |

| 00:00.27 | benoitc | thanks anyway :-) |
| 00:00.38 | mattl | let me know how you get along. |
| 00:00.46 | benoitc | sure |
| 00:02.29 | paulproteus | mattl: I was here first! (-: |
| 00:02.36 | paulproteus | Madkiss: It's in untable now. |
| 00:02.39 | paulproteus | bcm43xx-source |
| 00:03.25 | mattl | paulproteus: i guess that means i'm stalking you then ;) |
| 00:05.17 | paulproteus | Madkiss: And the modules packages, too. |
| 00:07.31 | paulproteus | mattl: You're just jealous of my freedom. (-: |
| 00:07.42 | mattl | heh, something like that. i am freeeeeeeee now. |
| 00:12.31 | paulproteus | mattl: BTW, amarok is good if you like heavy, and quodlibet if you like light, music players. |

| 00:13.04 | mattl | is quodlibet a GNOME app? i tried amarok, but i didn't get on with the UI... using Rhythmbox now. |
| 00:13.31 | paulproteus | mattl: It's a GTK app, at least. |
| 00:13.40 | paulproteus | It took me a while to get used to amarok, but I now totally love it. |
| 00:13.42 | mattl | will check it out. |
| 00:13.52 | paulproteus | mattl: So Debian or Ubuntu? |
| 00:13.55 | mattl | amarok looked good, but i'm not a fan of QT. |
| 00:14.04 | mattl | paulproteus: Ubuntu, considering Debian. |
| 00:14.22 | paulproteus | I'm currently switching my iBook back to Debian from Ubuntu, where it's been for the past year or so. |
| 00:14.27 | paulproteus | Since the first Ubuntu release, actually. |
| 00:14.52 | mattl | paulproteus: which mac you got? |
| 00:15.01 | paulproteus | iBook G4 1 Ghz. |
| 00:15.38 | mattl | I'm on a 2ghz iMac G5. |
| 00:15.45 | paulproteus | Ooh. |
| 00:15.53 | paulproteus | I always thought those things looked funny. |
| 00:15.57 | paulproteus | As if they had really fat chins. |
| 00:15.59 | mattl | (and a 1.67Ghz G4 PB) |
| 00:16.01 | paulproteus | But otherwise, they're cool. |
| 00:16.37 | paulproteus | If you don't find yourself desperately looking for mysql-server-5.0 or rene's bcm43xx packages or the latest emacs-snapshot-gtk, then Ubuntu is great. |
| 00:19.32 | mattl | in a terminal window, when i press Tab - the whole machine locks and i have to reboot. |
| 00:20.36 | paulproteus | Really? |
| 00:20.38 | paulproteus | That's kinda shocking. |
| 00:21.01 | paulproteus | I can try to help you out with that after dinner, but I'm not sure I'd be of much use. |
| 00:21.15 | paulproteus | Email debian-ppc about it is what I'd suggest. |
| 00:21.16 | paulproteus | Except you use Ubuntu. |
| 00:21.24 | paulproteus | That's the other thing - Debian users are, by and large, much smarter than Ubuntu users. |
| 00:21.30 | paulproteus | Or at least there are many more smart Debian users. (-: |
| 00:21.45 | mattl | Heh, yup. I run Debian on all my other computers ;) |
| 00:25.25 | TBBle | Ubuntu's got the bcm43xx-softmac driver in the 2.6.15 kernel image, as it happens. Which is nice unless you need to update the driver or the stack. |
| 00:25.48 | TBBle | On the other hand, I've packaged up the dscape modules and bcm43xx-dscape driver, based on rene's package, and it's working better for me than softmac. |
| 00:58.58 | paulproteus | Tbble: That sounds neat. |
| 00:59.12 | paulproteus | I'll totally give that a try tomorrow. |
| 00:59.20 | paulproteus | dscape was so offensive in its creation of network devices. |
| 00:59.29 | paulproteus | And I never used to have to configure wpasupplicant. |
| 00:59.46 | paulproteus | Do you include the patched wpasupplicant, or have a separate binary for it, or does it no longer need a patch? |
| 01:00.31 | TBBle | I haven't included the patched wpasupplicant, because I only thought of that today, and I'm waiting for the wpasupplicant 0.47 package which appeared in the NEW/BYHAND queue an hour or two ago to filter down. |
| 01:00.54 | paulproteus | But then how do you configure it? |
| 01:01.02 | paulproteus | Do you just have your own patched binary installed? |
| 01:01.03 | TBBle | I even managed to mangle it all into roaming. |
| 01:01.28 | TBBle | I have a patch wpasupplicant here. I can send you the .deb if you like, but I don't want to upload it anywhere 'cause it was a quick 5-minute hack. |
| 01:01.53 | paulproteus | I patched my own some time ago; I'm mostly just curious. |
| 01:05.14 | TBBle | Oh, right. Yeah, I just patched mine over the top, built it, fixed the .config file and built it again. |
| 01:05.38 | TBBle | I only packaged the dscape modules because I'm hoping rene will take them off me and maintain them. ^_^ |
| 01:16.21 | Madkiss | paulproteus: wassabi? |
| 01:16.27 | Madkiss | paulproteus: aha, hm |
| 01:28.39 | Madkiss | paulproteus: I don't see it. |
| 01:32.24 | Madkiss | ah, there it is |
| 01:32.26 | Madkiss | I am too dumb. |
| 02:27.53 | paulproteus | Madkiss: (-: |
| 02:27.56 | paulproteus | Glad you eventually found it. |

| 22:28.23 | paulproteus|jhu | _rene_, do you expect WEP to work with your bcm43xx packages? |
| 22:28.38 | _rene_ | no. |
| 22:28.47 | _rene_ | in fact, I don't expect it working , I know it does :-) |
| 22:28.54 | _rene_ | am using it with WEP :) |
| 22:29.08 | paulproteus|jhu | And DHCP? |
| 22:29.18 | _rene_ | DHCP is some other issue.... |

| 22:32.22 | _rene_ | I don't have dhcp here, but dhcp didn't work at work where I tried it. but must be because it somehow does radio down/radio up and then some settings are wrong |
| 22:32.25 | _rene_ | (like the rate) |
| 22:32.48 | _rene_ | didn't yet try again after I set the rate in /etc/network/interfaces |
| 22:33.06 | paulproteus|jhu | It'd be good to know so I can know precisely what to expect when helping others. (-: |
| 22:33.25 | cheatersrealm | :) I am the 'others' |
| 22:33.29 | cheatersrealm | well one of them |
| 22:33.41 | paulproteus|jhu | And, also, when helping myself. |

| 22:48.23 | paulproteus|jhu | _rene_, with your packages, does one have to set the channel manually? |
| 22:55.57 | *** join/#debianppc nefertum (n=jon@106.Red-213-96-137.staticIP.rima-tde.net) |
| 22:57.39 | _rene_ | as you don't need to do it with the driver, why should that be required with my packages? |
| 22:58.01 | _rene_ | at least I don't need to set it here at home... |
| 22:58.01 | paulproteus|jhu | _rene_, Earlier you had to. |
| 22:58.04 | paulproteus|jhu | Okay. (-: |
| 22:58.11 | _rene_ | paulproteus|jhu: then look at the version... |
| 22:58.24 | cheatersrealm | 20060105 I think |
| 22:58.31 | _rene_ | paulproteus|jhu: that's what version numbers are for |
| 22:58.33 | _rene_ | right |
| 22:58.41 | paulproteus|jhu | _rene_, I just wasn't sure if that was necessary anymore; I don't know in what version it's fixed. |
| 22:58.53 | paulproteus|jhu | Now I know that at least in your version and later you don't have to. (-: |
| 22:59.05 | cheatersrealm | btw, it's in static with no wep and not working |
| 22:59.31 | paulproteus|jhu | But you got "softmac: open authentication completed with $ROUTER_MAC_ADDR", which is a good step at least. |
| 22:59.43 | cheatersrealm | yeah (in dmesg) |
| 23:10.38 | *** join/#debianppc itom (n=tommy@85-18-136-106.fastres.net) |
| 23:42.56 | cheatersrealm | _rene_: fwiw it seems that my problem was fixed by following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/AirportExtreme except with the newest files in those bcm43xx repos |
| 23:43.57 | _rene_ | cheatersrealm: with what exactly? |
| 23:44.12 | cheatersrealm | I used the 20060125 versions |
| 23:44.16 | _rene_ | cheatersrealm: and you didn't even tell what your problem was, didn't you? |
| 23:44.17 | cheatersrealm | of fwcutter and the module |
| 23:44.27 | cheatersrealm | that's because I wasn't sure what was wrong |
| 23:44.34 | _rene_ | ah, hmm |
| 23:44.59 | cheatersrealm | it was giving me issues along the line of: http://www.mail-archive.com/bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de/msg00488.html |
| 23:45.05 | cheatersrealm | but not exactly |
| 23:45.45 | _rene_ | GRMBL. I like people forcing me to change terminals to look at URLs... |
| 23:45.54 | paulproteus|jhu | _rene_, Do you mean "don't like"? (-: |
| 23:46.07 | cheatersrealm | I think it was sarcasm over irc? |
| 23:46.16 | _rene_ | paulproteus|jhu: your irony detector needs to be repaired ;-) |
| 23:46.38 | paulproteus|jhu | _rene_, File a bug with the patch. |
| 23:46.54 | _rene_ | OTOH, I should probably subscribe to that list anyway... |
| 23:46.56 | _rene_ | paulproteus|jhu: which patch? |
| 23:47.06 | paulproteus|jhu | _rene_, against my irony detector (-; |
| 23:47.08 | _rene_ | ah... |
| 23:47.21 | _rene_ | I guess mine does need a repair also then... |
| 23:49.05 | _rene_ | ah. hmm. that sounds familiar to me... |
| 23:49.15 | _rene_ | and you say updating to 0125 fixes it? |
| 23:49.48 | cheatersrealm | not exactly |
| 23:50.01 | cheatersrealm | it gives me the ability to use wireless without wep or dhcp |
| 23:50.12 | cheatersrealm | dhcp doesn't seem to work quite right |
| 23:52.48 | _rene_ | ah, well. |
| 23:52.57 | _rene_ | I'll check out a new snapshot then I guess.... |
| 23:53.13 | cheatersrealm | oh ok |
| 23:53.26 | cheatersrealm | so yes it does work when following those instructions on that mail-archive link I sent you |
| 23:53.37 | paulproteus|jhu | cheatersrealm, *What* does work? |
| 23:53.42 | paulproteus|jhu | his packages? DHCP? WEP? |
| 23:53.44 | cheatersrealm | dhcp |
| 23:53.52 | cheatersrealm | I'll be trying wep now |
| 23:54.10 | cheatersrealm | note I omitted the iwconfig ethN enc restricted <key> line |
| 23:54.14 | cheatersrealm | not having setup wep quite yet |
| 23:54.37 | _rene_ | wep works fine here. |
| 23:55.04 | cheatersrealm | well lets try |
| 23:55.54 | cheatersrealm | wep works as well |
| 23:56.13 | cheatersrealm | uh |
| 23:56.26 | cheatersrealm | let me retract that statement |
| 23:57.15 | _rene_ | what does not work? |
| 23:57.33 | cheatersrealm | wep |
| 23:57.37 | cheatersrealm | but maybe a config |
| 23:57.43 | _rene_ | that you said |
| 23:57.48 | _rene_ | what *excatly*? |
| 23:57.55 | cheatersrealm | gimme a minute |
| 23:59.55 | cheatersrealm | hrm I don't think it set the gateway properly with dhcp |
