| 21:39.13 | Crazytales | Hmm, it appears I need a newer kernel for the 8187 drivers to compile. |
| 21:39.23 | Crazytales | I'll just use my PrismGX card upstairs |
| 21:40.24 | Bor_Ed | most of the source packaged drivers run on 2.6.8+ |
| 21:43.20 | Crazytales | Apparently the realtek driver only works on 2.6.22 |
| 21:43.29 | Bor_Ed | aww |
| 21:43.34 | Crazytales | http://www.datanorth.net/%7Ecuervo/rtl8187b/ |
| 21:43.47 | Crazytales | And my card upstairs isn't PrismGX, it's PrismGT |
| 21:43.54 | Crazytales | How hard are they to get working onlinux? |
| 21:44.04 | Crazytales | yay, ppc is fun >> |
| 21:44.09 | Bor_Ed | I've only messed with prism2... |
| 21:44.14 | Bor_Ed | that wasn't hard |
| 21:44.58 | Bor_Ed | oh, and with current b43 driver even bcm43xx seems to be manageable with gnome-network-manager |
| 21:46.44 | Crazytales | eww broadcom |
| 21:46.54 | Crazytales | I don't have a broadcom based card |
| 21:48.51 | Bor_Ed | most mac users have... airport extreme is one of those evil broadcom thingies |
| 21:49.07 | Crazytales | this iBook G3 is airportless |
| 21:49.58 | Crazytales | hmm, I have an atheros based pcmcia card,too bad it's pcmcia |
| 21:50.02 | Bor_Ed | so is kids imac... that's why there's a-link usb stick on the usb connector |
| 21:52.07 | Crazytales | ndiswrapper is x86 only right? |
| 21:53.44 | tor | Regarding wireless and ppc, which chipset should i choose? |
| 21:53.55 | Bor_Ed | ndiswrapper is x86 only |
| 21:54.32 | Crazytales | tor: ralink has always worked well, too bad I can't find my ralink based usb stick |
| 21:54.35 | Bor_Ed | tor: I've had good results on zydas zd1211 based usb sticks as well as lucent/orinoco based pcmcia cards |
| 21:55.10 | tor | Crazytales and Bor_Ed and if i wanted a (mini)pci one? |
| 21:55.27 | tor | does intel or atheros work= |
| 21:55.27 | tor | ? |
| 21:55.56 | Crazytales | I think both have good linux support |
| 21:56.13 | tor | Nice, so madwifi works on ppc as well? |
| 21:56.15 | Bor_Ed | atheros ar51 based ones have good linux support all over the arches, dunno about intel ones since I've never used such |
| 21:56.25 | tor | Sorry, kind of new to this architecture. |
| 21:56.54 | tor | Bor_Ed: sounds nice. Should work on ppc then. |
| 21:57.01 | Bor_Ed | yup |
| 21:57.10 | Bor_Ed | at least the madwifi-ng driver... |
| 21:57.15 | tor | Good, since i got a stack of those. :) |
| 21:58.37 | tor | Thx |
| 21:58.50 | Bor_Ed | np |
| 22:12.12 | Crazytales | I finally found my ralink wireless adapter |
| 23:09.00 | Crazytales | YAY |
| 23:09.13 | Crazytales | ralink dirstribute their drivers as a source tarball |
| 23:38.48 | Crazytales | What's a utility to convert files with DOS line endings to files with UNIX line endings? |
| 23:48.39 | Crazytales | well well.... |
| 23:48.55 | Crazytales | Apparently ralink's drivers only compile on x86. |
