| 19:10.42 | Gnuman | does anyone here know what kernel comes with the 4.0r1 netinst CD? |
| 19:11.18 | Gnuman | and is bcm43xx supported yet? |
| 19:18.23 | lvm0 | Gnuman, 2.6.21 i thinkç |
| 19:18.38 | lvm0 | 2.6.22 in testing |
| 19:20.40 | Gnuman | so the stable install kernel is bcm43xx *capable*. . . Does anyone know if it is implemented? |
| 19:20.52 | Bor_Ed | bcm43xx is supported already on 2.6.20... though the functionality pretty much depends on the firmware you can pick |
| 19:21.06 | Bor_Ed | it's in the kernel as module |
| 19:22.02 | Gnuman | Bor_Ed: I'm getting a Mac Mini sometime this week or next. do you know a place to get a good firmware? |
| 19:22.29 | Bor_Ed | I can give mine |
| 19:22.40 | Gnuman | my only net connection is through WiFi |
| 19:22.47 | Bor_Ed | fresh off from wintel linux with bcm4311 chip |
| 19:23.15 | Gnuman | IIRC, teh mac is a 4318 |
| 19:23.22 | Gnuman | will that make a difference? |
| 19:23.23 | Bor_Ed | same firmware |
| 19:23.48 | Gnuman | should I /msg you an email address? |
| 19:23.57 | Bor_Ed | I can drop it to free ftp |
| 19:24.18 | Gnuman | KK, then a link will get it to me |
| 19:24.38 | Gnuman | any other gotchas wrt the mini and Debian? |
| 19:24.55 | Gnuman | 1394 and USB should be easy. . . |
| 19:25.02 | Bor_Ed | sound has been ichy for some... dunno if it works on 4.0 |
| 19:25.27 | Gnuman | the resolution on my monitopr is 1024x1280 so that should not be hard for X to deal with. . . |
| 19:25.36 | Gnuman | Oh: DVI output |
| 19:25.37 | Bor_Ed | ftp://fi.homelinux.net/bcmwl5.sys |
| 19:26.45 | Gnuman | anony acess? |
| 19:26.52 | Bor_Ed | anon yea |
| 19:26.58 | Bor_Ed | wget will do for the leech too |
| 19:27.41 | Gnuman | <PROTECTED> |
| 19:27.51 | Bor_Ed | just get with wget |
| 19:28.00 | Bor_Ed | I think only active mode allowed now |
| 19:31.06 | Bor_Ed | wait a sec, I'll move it to the http server, should work from there |
| 19:31.23 | Gnuman | kk |
| 19:31.36 | Gnuman | kget could not get in either |
| 19:31.41 | Bor_Ed | noticed |
| 19:33.07 | Bor_Ed | same addy, though http:// instead of ftp:// |
| 19:35.14 | Gnuman | could not connect to host. . . |
| 19:35.36 | Bor_Ed | hmm, then I have something pretty badly wrong on the setup |
| 19:36.06 | Bor_Ed | try to get the firmware from the bcm43xx-fwcutter |
| 19:36.08 | Bor_Ed | should work too |
| 19:36.41 | Gnuman | Yeah, that is the standard way, IIRC |
| 19:37.01 | Bor_Ed | yup, though the firmware link has been down some lately... at least on ubu |
| 19:37.14 | Gnuman | I'll just do teh install with my laptop set up as a router/gateway |
| 19:38.11 | Gnuman | got the box off of eBay, and the Airport that was suppos3ed to be installed. . .wasn't. |
| 19:38.40 | Bor_Ed | I've got fon free access point to cope wireless AP task and imac here has a-link usb stick running as wlan uplink from the mac |
| 19:38.58 | Gnuman | the seller thought it was because the person he got it from to resell said it had wireless. . . |
| 19:39.29 | Gnuman | the wireless mentioned was a USB stick. . . |
| 19:40.00 | Gnuman | IME, most of those do not work, and the ones that do hang frequently, in OSX. . . |
| 19:40.17 | Gnuman | Linux compatability is even more shaky. . . |
| 19:40.36 | Bor_Ed | http://support.a-link.com/wl54usb/upd.htm <<-- works on linux and on mockos |
| 19:41.20 | Bor_Ed | I've got one... just not great on long distances but up to some 50' indoor, it works ok |
| 19:41.40 | Gnuman | Can't use that one then. . . |
| 19:42.11 | Bor_Ed | it can be hacked to use real antenna too instead of the circle inside the stick if you know how to solder |
| 19:42.19 | Gnuman | My home is a 10m caravan (Motorhome) and the park provides free WiFi. . . |
| 19:43.12 | Bor_Ed | the stick could work... specs say it does up to 300m on open environment, though from my experience inside concrete <25m works |
| 19:43.28 | Gnuman | only wire that comes into my home other then 120VAC@30A is the Sat TV I share with my neighbor |
| 19:44.11 | Gnuman | the Airport I'm sure will work. . . |
| 19:44.21 | Bor_Ed | you could solder bnc and and use directional antenna on the usb stick to get the directional setup |
| 19:44.39 | Gnuman | I'll have to use a hub as is to connect my printer keyboard and mouse. . . |
| 19:44.45 | Bor_Ed | airport is about the same... it'll require directional antenna on big area |
| 19:45.33 | Gnuman | I'm within 30m of the AP |
| 19:45.53 | Bor_Ed | I'd say the a-link stick and comparables work then |
| 19:46.08 | Gnuman | and the only thing between whete the mini will be mounted and the antenna is wood |
| 19:46.38 | Bor_Ed | stick here did cost a bit over 10 eur, around 15 usd... not a big loss anyway |
| 19:47.57 | Gnuman | yeah, but I still loose two USB ports. . . |
| 19:48.14 | Bor_Ed | you need active hub for sure |
| 19:48.14 | Gnuman | one for this stick and one for the bluetooth. . . |
| 19:49.16 | Gnuman | and the active hub means the loos of two power ports (outlets) as it will have teh transformer on the plug itself. . . |
| 19:49.37 | Gnuman | the transformer will cover the adjacent plug so it cannot be used.. . |
| 19:49.46 | Bor_Ed | buggr that |
| 19:50.25 | Gnuman | no room for a powert squit where I'm installing the Mini. . . |
| 19:50.45 | Bor_Ed | got that from the comments... |
| 19:51.15 | Bor_Ed | you might be able to use some other minipci cards than airport too... though compability varies |
| 20:00.57 | Gnuman | no capacity for them in the mini. . . |
| 20:01.41 | Bor_Ed | mini has minipci slot, right? |
| 20:01.42 | Gnuman | mind: it is 16cm square |
| 20:01.50 | Gnuman | no |
| 20:02.27 | Bor_Ed | howcome I recall it has a port... buggr |
| 20:02.31 | Gnuman | to install Airport, you have to install a daughterboard. . . |
| 20:03.00 | Gnuman | the kit is daughterboard, AirPort card, Bluetooth card, and teh two antennaws |
| 20:03.27 | Gnuman | and, I hope, typing lessons. . . |
| 20:04.13 | Bor_Ed | typing lessons are irrelevant :) |
| 20:04.49 | Gnuman | I seem to need them. . . |
| 20:05.16 | Bor_Ed | naa |
| 20:11.54 | Gnuman | Grrrr. . .I thouight I had a CD burning frontend installed in this laptop. . . |
| 20:13.27 | Gnuman | well, I'm grabbing one now. . . |
| 20:13.54 | Bor_Ed | have fun on hacking, I'll drop dead, got work in 5 hours |
| 20:13.56 | Gnuman | Bor_Ed: do you want to email me that firmware? How large is it? |
| 20:14.17 | Bor_Ed | 340K bcmwl5.sys |
| 20:14.41 | Gnuman | work in 5 hours. . . |
| 20:14.54 | Gnuman | you are probably toast at this point. . . |
| 20:14.55 | Bor_Ed | yup, wakeup at 4am |
| 20:15.33 | Gnuman | andddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd it is 23:00 now? |
| 20:15.45 | Gnuman | damn keyboard. |
| 20:15.57 | Bor_Ed | Tue Sep 11 23:15:57 EEST 2007 |
| 20:16.04 | Bor_Ed | around 23 yea |
| 20:16.21 | Gnuman | sigh No it does that with both the internal and this external one. . . |
| 20:17.02 | Bor_Ed | internal can have spring loose so it'll hang... though now I'm off to get some rest |
| 20:17.15 | Gnuman | sleep well! |
