| 10:19.13 | simonrvn | hey pahartik :) |
| 10:19.34 | simonrvn | sorry i volunteered you, but you seem to know a lot about ppc lappies |
| 10:21.34 | wOPr | pahartik, may you help me please? |
| 10:22.04 | pahartik | wOPr: Oh, but only about Bluetooth networking and not about 802.11 networking |
| 10:22.38 | wOPr | uhm... thank you |
| 10:22.40 | simonrvn | oh, damn. hmm... who else would know... |
| 10:22.51 | simonrvn | demon would |
| 10:23.11 | wOPr | demon, are you there? |
| 10:23.47 | simonrvn | at worst you can check the debian-powerpc mailing list, there's lots of posts about the 802.11 stuff. |
| 10:24.18 | simonrvn | (often good info there) |
| 10:24.28 | wOPr | eventually i can use an external USB device |
| 10:24.34 | wOPr | i know it works |
| 10:26.40 | pahartik | wOPr: Is it problem with Broadcom 802.11 interface driver? Are you used to build custom kernel packages? |
| 10:27.08 | wOPr | no pahartik i'm not in use to |
| 10:28.57 | pahartik | wOPr: Maybe you would like to try that? |
| 10:29.07 | wOPr | yes :) |
| 10:31.34 | pahartik | wOPr: And which Linux kernel binary versions provided by Debian have you tried so far? |
| 10:33.17 | wOPr | Linux eleonore 2.6.26-2-powerpc #1 Fri Mar 27 07:43:24 UTC 2009 ppc GNU/Linux |
| 10:34.49 | wOPr | this one |
| 10:36.29 | pahartik | wOPr: Kernel is fairly new, but that network interface driver has still been going through changes... And that device is not showing up as detected in "dmesg"? |
| 10:38.12 | simonrvn | ah ok. figures. |
| 10:39.10 | wOPr | uhm.. i'm going to look for |
| 10:39.38 | wOPr | [ 59.160213] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4306 WLAN found |
| 10:39.38 | wOPr | [ 60.761908] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PMLR, Firmware-ID: FW13 ] |
| 10:39.54 | wOPr | i can see it in ifconfig -a but i can't lookup |
| 10:41.23 | wOPr | eleonore:~# ifconfig wlan0 up |
| 10:41.23 | wOPr | SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory |
| 10:41.51 | pahartik | wOPr: Those messages look fine, might be problem in runtime configuration instead of driver module |
| 10:42.26 | wOPr | http://rafb.net/p/BFAhmU92.html |
| 10:42.35 | wOPr | what can i do pahartik ? |
| 10:42.44 | simonrvn | configure it |
| 10:42.53 | simonrvn | ;) |
| 10:43.21 | wOPr | http://rafb.net/p/e0Pa6236.html |
| 10:43.23 | wOPr | done |
| 10:43.56 | wOPr | i can also see the network icon in the traybar under wired network |
| 10:48.25 | pahartik | wOPr: Good question... |
| 10:51.30 | wOPr | :p |
| 10:53.48 | pahartik | wOPr: "Debian Reference - Network configuration" (document at "http://www.at.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html#s-low-wifi") refers to "iwconfig" of "wireless-tools" |
| 10:54.58 | wOPr | thank you pahartik, i will read now |
| 10:55.35 | wOPr | uhm... :E: Couldn't find package iwconfig |
| 10:59.33 | pahartik | wOPr: It is supposedly not package, "wireless-tools" is package |
| 11:01.02 | wOPr | ah opk |
| 11:01.07 | wOPr | i installed it |
| 11:05.27 | wOPr | i'm working with... |
| 11:05.59 | pahartik | simonrvn: Why I know about Linux 2.6 open source "Broadcom 43xx" driver... Hopeful 802.11 users on #OpenWRT keep asking whether it is stable yet and it is not considered such... Supposedly slows down or stops working after while |
| 11:42.36 | pahartik | wOPr: Do not forget to mention if you get 802.11 network up successfully |
| 11:42.48 | wOPr | sure :) |
| 11:42.54 | wOPr | and thank you |
| 11:45.46 | wOPr | pahartik, did you were able to use left button on the trackpad? |
| 11:50.01 | pahartik | wOPr: I have assigned second mouse button to <F11> and third mouse button to <F12>... |
| 11:53.19 | pahartik | wOPr: "sudo sysctl -a | grep mouse_button" |
| 11:58.15 | wOPr | :) http://rafb.net/p/U2IlFP48.html |
| 12:00.47 | pahartik | wOPr: I have values 1, 87, 88 respectively |
| 12:01.39 | wOPr | anda where i can set thi values? |
| 12:02.45 | pahartik | wOPr: "/etc/sysctl.conf" |
| 12:02.53 | wOPr | thanks |
| 12:04.44 | wOPr | it's strange: in that file there are no values like ones i pasted before |
| 12:05.00 | wOPr | no mouse_button* written in that file |
| 12:05.39 | pahartik | wOPr: You can add anything you see with "sudo sysctl -a"... |
| 12:05.46 | wOPr | ahh :) |
| 12:05.49 | wOPr | ok.. |
| 12:06.00 | wOPr | i will |
| 12:06.03 | wOPr | try |
| 12:06.52 | wOPr | which service i have to restart after changes? |
| 12:07.45 | pahartik | wOPr: "sudo sysctl -p" |
| 12:08.29 | wOPr | wow it works! |
| 12:08.31 | wOPr | thank you |
| 12:09.30 | pahartik | wOPr: You are welcome |
| 12:11.18 | wOPr | i looked for "apple keyboard keycodes" but i didn't find anything |
| 12:11.33 | wOPr | where i can find a complete table of keycodes? |
| 14:25.36 | wOPr | by ;) and thanks |
| 16:00.11 | pahartik | sitting at cafe with espresso and feta-tomato pie |
