| 14:00.04 | chouimat | morning |
| 14:00.43 | sorphin | ~monday |
| 14:00.44 | purl | somebody said monday was when everything breaks for no apparent reason, creating so many problems that it takes you until friday to get back to normal. at which point one more thing breaks that takes you the whole weekend to fix |
| 14:00.51 | sorphin | amen. |
| 14:01.54 | agaffney | heh |
| 14:02.03 | sorphin | what a crappy fsckign day |
| 14:02.23 | sorphin | and that was before i even got to work |
| 14:03.09 | agaffney | there we go...Cranberries - Zombie |
| 14:03.22 | chouimat | sorphin: I had 2 options for why I feel weird this morning a) got hit by a train b) slept with a really huge woman so for my sanity I will choose a) |
| 14:03.33 | agaffney | o_O |
| 14:04.25 | sorphin | chouimat: then quit playing on rail tracks frenchy :P |
| 14:04.36 | chouimat | sorphin: hehe ... |
| 14:05.36 | sorphin | chouimat: and stop dating women that are as big as a train ;) |
| 14:06.25 | chouimat | sorphin: the funny part is I don't remember the date thingy ... stayed home last night reading a few books ... |
| 14:08.37 | sorphin | ah, so she just came over, got you drunk and that's all you remember? sounds like plague in his younger days ;) hehe |
| 14:08.40 | sorphin | j/k |
| 14:09.17 | prpplague | sorphin: not younger days, older days |
| 14:09.37 | sorphin | or that |
| 14:09.59 | sorphin | prpplague: uh.. what about before got married? or were you born married? ;) |
| 14:10.01 | sorphin | hehe |
| 14:10.21 | prpplague | sorphin: nope, my first wife was the only person i ever dated |
| 14:10.40 | prpplague | sorphin: a geek in east texas isn't exactly what women are looking for |
| 14:11.02 | sorphin | heh |
| 14:11.14 | sorphin | prpplague: missy wasn't the first girl i 'dated' |
| 14:11.15 | sorphin | heh |
| 14:11.18 | prpplague | chouimat: ?? |
| 14:11.48 | chouimat | prpplague: I bought Saturday The Hunters of Dune (aka part 1 of Dune 7) and I finished it last night |
| 14:12.05 | prpplague | chouimat: ahh |
| 14:12.28 | chouimat | prpplague: and now I understand why the wrote the 2 prequels series before this one ... |
| 14:14.27 | prpplague | sorphin: yea well, if i'd known that it was just the women in texas, i probably would have dated more as well |
| 14:17.26 | sorphin | prpplague: hehe |
| 14:17.42 | sorphin | prpplague: they don't want you unless you're an Oil barron ;) |
| 14:20.18 | prpplague | sorphin: no, unless you own atleast one tractor |
| 14:20.36 | prpplague | sorphin: or can crush beer cans on your forehead |
| 14:21.01 | prpplague | sorphin: thats why i was so amazed when i started travelling overseas |
| 14:21.51 | sorphin | hehe |
| 14:22.15 | sorphin | i've 'dated' lots of girls in varying states |
| 14:22.29 | sorphin | all had different expectations |
| 14:22.40 | sorphin | none cared that i was a geek |
| 14:22.52 | prpplague | interesting |
| 14:23.28 | prpplague | i doubt that would be the case in tx,ok,ar,la |
| 14:23.37 | chouimat | sorphin: make them laught or be a jerk ... |
| 14:25.20 | prpplague | eventually it will come up with something "so...what do you do for a living?" "i do computer software design" "oh....well i see my friend over there, good bye" |
| 14:25.35 | agaffney | heh |
| 14:25.41 | prpplague | as soon as they hear what you do, that's it |
| 14:25.52 | agaffney | "I wrestle sharks" |
| 14:25.57 | prpplague | hehe |
| 14:26.32 | prpplague | it really only seems to be mostly in the southern states where this occurs |
| 14:26.38 | jbevren | "I work for al qeada' |
| 14:26.42 | agaffney | hah |
| 14:26.46 | prpplague | hehe |
| 14:26.59 | prpplague | jbevren: that's likely to get you killed in texas |
| 14:27.15 | jbevren | prpplague: I refuse to live in terror |
| 14:27.20 | jbevren | i.e. |
| 14:27.27 | jbevren | in terror of what people in texas think of what I say |
| 14:27.32 | agaffney | Texas: where everyone has a gun and murder is a misdemeanor |
| 14:27.45 | jbevren | agaffney: only if she's screwing him when you walk in |
| 14:27.47 | agaffney | (if they're colored) |
| 14:27.52 | sorphin | prpplague: ah, 4 states i've never been to and would never live in ;) |
| 14:28.09 | prpplague | sorphin: hehe |
| 14:29.58 | chouimat | prpplague: stop that you will have a bad week |
| 14:30.01 | prpplague | god i hope nothing goes wrong between now and friday |
| 14:30.18 | prpplague | chouimat: friday we go to the consulate to get my wife's visa for the states |
| 14:30.35 | chouimat | prpplague: i see ... |
| 14:30.46 | prpplague | then we can start making plans to move back to the states |

| 14:31.51 | CosmicPenguin | yep |
| 14:32.25 | prpplague | chouimat: no, we had to jump through hoops to get this done, even had to call our senators office as well as some people i know in the GOP |
| 14:32.45 | chouimat | prpplague: wow ... |
| 14:33.07 | prpplague | chouimat: its been a horrible nightmare getting this done |
| 14:33.16 | prpplague | chouimat: i can see why people choose to do it illegally |
| 14:33.28 | prpplague | chouimat: because doing it legally is almost impossible |
| 14:34.17 | chouimat | prpplague: hehe ... it seams it hard to get one for Canada but it doesn't take that long ... since we have something about "familly reunion" |
| 14:34.43 | prpplague | chouimat: ha, its not hard at all, we could have gone to canada in just 45 days |
| 14:35.15 | prpplague | chouimat: something like $500CAD and you're done |
| 14:35.23 | chouimat | prpplague: wow ... I start to wonder if your gov is not a little racist |
| 14:35.32 | CosmicPenguin | canadians will do anything for 500 bucks |
| 14:36.10 | chouimat | CosmicPenguin: but we can kick them out whenever we want ... with good reasons |
| 14:37.02 | prpplague | chouimat: no, not racist, just full of bureacrats |
| 14:37.23 | chouimat | prpplague: hehe |
| 14:37.47 | sorphin | CosmicPenguin: it's the 64bit lackey |
| 14:37.48 | chouimat | mindless automatons ... |
| 14:38.56 | prpplague | chouimat: yea, like for instance, you have to get fingerprints done, and a physical, problem is that they are only good for 6 months |
| 14:39.15 | prpplague | chouimat: 90% of the time your paperwork doesn't get processed before they are no longer good |
| 14:39.34 | prpplague | chouimat: so usually you have to get your fingerprints and physical done atleast twice, sometimes 3 times |
| 14:39.49 | prpplague | chouimat: each time you have to pay $$ |
| 14:39.52 | chouimat | prpplague: sound like a guy who say to a woman after a 1 night stand "Will call you back" ;) |
| 14:40.11 | prpplague | chouimat: yea |
| 14:40.19 | prpplague | chouimat: http://www.visajourney.com |
| 14:40.46 | prpplague | i just wish more americans knew about the mess our immigration system is in |
| 14:41.20 | prpplague | #1 reason we have so many illegals is because they make doing it legally almost impossible |
| 14:41.28 | chouimat | prpplague: but it seems some find it not secure enough ;) |
| 14:42.28 | sorphin | prpplague: i dunno, 2 people here at work are here on visas, the only major hangup has been the company's "cheap DC lawyers" |
| 14:44.11 | prpplague | sorphin: well, thats usually different, work visas, plus most people can't afford a lawyer |
| 14:44.41 | prpplague | sorphin: immigrant visa's are handled much differently |
| 14:45.10 | prpplague | sorphin: immigrant visa are first step to citizenship so they are very detailed on background info |
| 14:45.21 | chouimat | I like this question: Would you say your actions are guided more by your head or your heart? choice of answer: Heart, Head, genitalia ... |
| 14:45.42 | prpplague | hehe |
| 14:46.22 | prpplague | sorphin: if you speak to those 2 people. ask them how long it took them to get their visa |
| 14:46.26 | chouimat | prpplague: I'm currently checking my account on okcupid :) |
| 14:46.35 | prpplague | chouimat: ahh |
| 14:46.43 | chouimat | sorphin: is one of them Canadian? |
| 14:46.58 | prpplague | sorphin: are they from india or from any of the asian countries? |
| 14:47.41 | prpplague | sorphin: because they get prefered treatment at immigration |
| 14:51.07 | sorphin | chouimat: one of them is, yeah |
| 14:51.09 | sorphin | the other is from china |
| 14:51.55 | sorphin | ok, these firefox crashes are getting obsurd |
| 14:51.59 | sorphin | absurd even |
| 14:52.32 | chouimat | ok ... iirc the thing in the free trade agreement I just need a Bachelor's degree and a proof of imployment and I can get the visa at the border ... |
| 14:52.59 | sorphin | heh |
| 14:53.06 | sorphin | gotta love NAFTA |
| 14:53.15 | prpplague | sorphin: hehe, you don't count china as asian? |
| 14:53.28 | chouimat | sorphin: that's for canadians ... don't know for mexicans ;) |
| 14:53.42 | prpplague | chouimat: its the same |
| 14:54.00 | sorphin | prpplague: i was typing that before you said that |
| 14:54.05 | prpplague | sorphin: ahh |
| 14:54.07 | prpplague | sorphin: hehe |
| 14:54.15 | sorphin | prpplague: nah, mexicans just walk over the border and go to work |
| 14:54.16 | sorphin | heh |
| 14:54.28 | sorphin | not even required to know 1 word of english |
| 14:54.49 | prpplague | sorphin: yea, all of the asian countries can claim economic and political hardship, that fast tracks them |
| 14:54.50 | chouimat | hmm this liveCD sucks ... should finish the install soon |
| 14:55.04 | prpplague | sorphin: most of them can get a visa within 6 months or less |
| 14:55.48 | prpplague | sorphin: problem comes in when you are from some place like australia, the UK, or any its stable former colonies |
| 14:56.16 | sorphin | the guy from canada has had too much "fun" after his H1B was gonna expire for the last time |

| 16:52.47 | jbevren | heh |
| 16:52.54 | jbevren | I just wish these buggers would work |
| 16:52.58 | jbevren | well, they do in windows |
| 16:53.17 | prpplague | jbevren: that the dual wifi and flash? |
| 16:53.34 | jbevren | yeah |
| 16:53.38 | jbevren | if you lay it top down |
| 16:53.53 | jbevren | cut a quarter inch in the top right corner to remove the shell |
| 16:53.57 | prpplague | jbevren: iirc they work but you have to do a patch to support the multi function |
| 16:53.57 | jbevren | you'll see the connector |
| 16:54.07 | jbevren | prpplague: nod |
| 16:54.12 | jbevren | prpplague: Ive got the flash to work |
| 16:54.18 | jbevren | and I got the hostap driver to recognize the card |
| 16:54.29 | jbevren | however, it just whines about "no pri f/w" every time you try to do anything |
| 16:54.41 | jbevren | the hostap driver doesnt load the primary firmware, but does load secondary |
| 16:54.58 | prpplague | jbevren: yea, its prism3 based you have load it yourself |
| 16:55.09 | jbevren | nod |
| 16:55.13 | jbevren | it can use flash-based firmware |
| 16:55.21 | jbevren | but since there's nothing in its firmware flash, it requries sram firmware |
| 16:55.29 | prpplague | jbevren: so whats the problem? |
| 16:55.45 | *** join/#edev mbuf (n=mbuf@59.92.56.233) |
| 16:55.49 | jbevren | I havent tried flashing them, and there's no way to manually load the firmware |
| 16:55.57 | jbevren | the drivers i got to recognize the card dont allow flashing |
| 16:55.59 | prpplague | jbevren: sure their is |
| 16:56.09 | jbevren | and the drivers that allow flashing dont recognize the card |
| 16:56.10 | prpplague | jbevren: you using hostap ? |
| 16:56.13 | jbevren | nod |
| 16:56.15 | mbuf | prpplague, you have a working kernel subsystem, it works; how do you study the code? its just too much code in SD/MMC |
| 16:56.19 | prpplague | jbevren: yea, works fine |
| 16:56.31 | prpplague | jbevren: i do the same with our zcomax prism3 cards |
| 16:56.31 | jbevren | care to publish a howto on the wiki? :D |
| 16:56.44 | jbevren | prpplague: I want to put one of these in my pepper pad |
| 16:56.46 | prpplague | mbuf: not sure what your are asking |
| 16:56.48 | jbevren | (its wifi card is CF) |
| 16:57.15 | prpplague | jbevren: should be documented in the hostap stuff |
| 16:57.16 | mbuf | prpplague, SD/MMC subsystem works on the board; but, i need to understand who calls what, what the procedure of operation is etc. etc. |
| 16:57.22 | prpplague | jbevren: thats were i got my info from |
| 16:57.26 | mbuf | prpplague, how best to go about studying working code |
| 16:57.44 | prpplague | mbuf: hehe, i like to add lots of printk's |
| 16:57.46 | CosmicPenguin | mbuf: just start reading it - actually, the MMC/SD code is pretty tame and easy to follow |
| 16:57.51 | jbevren | prpplague: aight |
| 16:57.57 | jbevren | I'll take a stab at it again some time heh |
| 16:58.06 | mbuf | ok |
| 16:58.16 | jbevren | I spent a few evenings on it during my last attempt |
| 16:58.34 | prpplague | jbevren: its in the hostap-utils package |
| 16:58.40 | jbevren | at any rate, I plan to stick a duckie antenna on my pad once I get a card that allows an external antenna |
| 16:58.45 | jbevren | prpplague: Ok |
| 16:59.06 | prpplague | jbevren: look at the hostap_fw_load shell script |
| 16:59.12 | jbevren | oh |
| 16:59.14 | jbevren | that one didnt work |
| 16:59.22 | jbevren | it loaded the secondary but wouldnt load primary |
| 16:59.28 | jbevren | anyway, its probably been updated since then |
| 16:59.45 | prpplague | jbevren: yea, don't use the script, just look at it for the commands |
| 17:01.10 | jbevren | ah |
| 17:01.11 | jbevren | hrm |
| 17:01.33 | prpplague | jbevren: that script is just an example |
| 17:02.04 | prpplague | jbevren: what wiki page were you wanting me to post to? |
| 17:02.17 | prpplague | jbevren: is there one specific to that card? |
| 17:02.23 | jbevren | elinux.org for lack of better location |
| 17:02.28 | prpplague | ahh |
| 17:02.28 | jbevren | I dont know if there's a hostap wiki |
| 17:03.35 | jbevren | hm |
| 17:03.48 | jbevren | yeah, doesnt look like there's a hostap specific wiki |
| 17:05.27 | prpplague | jbevren: you read this: http://electrons.psychogenic.com/modules/arms/art/17/SanDiskConnectPlusWiFiforLinuxiPAQs.php |
| 17:07.53 | jbevren | hm |
| 17:08.00 | jbevren | I dont think Ive seen the iwpriv reset command |
| 17:10.52 | jbevren | now if pepper had included bluetooth serialport in their driver set |
| 17:10.53 | jbevren | <PROTECTED> |
| 17:13.30 | jbevren | prpplague: I'd -really- like to just flash mine ;-) |
| 17:13.36 | jbevren | but if this works, its good enough :) |
| 17:13.53 | prpplague | jbevren: there is no flash for the prism3 |
| 17:13.59 | jbevren | really |
| 17:14.00 | jbevren | hrm |
| 17:14.14 | jbevren | Ive been mislead heh |
| 17:14.33 | prpplague | only the 2 and 2.5 ship with flash |
| 17:15.24 | prpplague | one of those cost cutting measures |
| 17:16.23 | jbevren | gotcha |
| 17:29.38 | prpplague | jbevren: basically i've add a script to our hotplug so that when it tries to load the hostap driver for a card, it checks to see if the primary firmware is missing, if it is, it uploads the firmware and continues on |
| 17:29.51 | jbevren | prpplague: ah |
| 17:30.08 | jbevren | you can check with prism2_srec? |
| 17:30.34 | prpplague | jbevren: yea |
| 17:30.38 | jbevren | ok |
| 17:30.51 | jbevren | I'll check its manpage when I get to it again |
| 17:30.52 | jbevren | :) |
| 17:30.58 | prpplague | jbevren: you can also look at the debug entry in proc |
| 17:34.14 | chouimat | ARRGGGG |
| 17:38.41 | chouimat | jbevren: it's ok just typed load -r -v -b 0x80000 instead of load -r -v -b 0x8000 ... |
| 17:38.59 | jbevren | chouimat: hehe |
| 17:39.26 | chouimat | jbevren: so basicly I but the zImage directly in the middle of the root fs :) |
| 17:39.49 | jbevren | doh!! |
| 17:40.15 | chouimat | jbevren: lack of sleep :) |
| 17:42.46 | prpplague | chouimat: hate it when that happens |
| 17:42.55 | prpplague | chouimat: thats why i use an alias in apex |
| 17:43.05 | chouimat | prpplague: I have to use redboot ... |
| 17:43.24 | prpplague | chouimat: hehe, no reason you can't hack an alias in there |
| 17:44.06 | chouimat | prpplague: I'm hacking the system so I can remove the tftp server ... |
| 17:44.41 | prpplague | fun |
| 17:48.42 | chouimat | prpplague: fun ... I starting hate cirrus ... spend the night debugging their SDK ... |
| 17:49.29 | prpplague | hehe |
| 17:49.30 | prpplague | chouimat: for which platform |

| 17:52.13 | prpplague | dfarnsworth: whats cookin over at MV today? |
| 17:52.17 | [g2] | prpplague hey! |
| 17:52.31 | prpplague | [g2]: are we having fun yet? |
| 17:52.39 | prpplague | hmm |
| 17:52.59 | dfarnsworth | prpplague, Don't know, just tring to remember where I was before going away. |
| 17:53.59 | dfarnsworth | It was the first time my wife and I went away without the kids (after being married 30 years) |
| 17:54.02 | prpplague | dfarnsworth: hehe, things settling down after the new boss took over? |
| 17:54.19 | prpplague | dfarnsworth: go anywhere interesting? |
| 17:55.15 | dfarnsworth | prpplague, things weren't shaken up in a big way, at least that affect me down here |
| 17:55.45 | prpplague | dfarnsworth: ahh |
| 17:55.47 | dfarnsworth | prpplague, we went to the grand canyon. Since we live in the Phoenix area, it wasn't a big trip |
| 17:55.57 | prpplague | dfarnsworth: fun fun |
| 17:56.17 | prpplague | dfarnsworth: no vegas? |
| 17:56.40 | dfarnsworth | no vegas. this was a quiet trip. :) |
| 17:59.13 | chouimat | prpplague: edb9315A ... |
| 17:59.38 | chouimat | prpplague: they use what it's called "debian stable" aka old shit ... |
| 17:59.54 | prpplague | chouimat: ahh yea, you need to check out the #ep93xx channel |
| 18:00.02 | prpplague | chouimat: find alot better resource |
| 18:01.04 | chouimat | prpplague: my job was to setup the development machine ... which is done ... since the development box is in Quebec City ... I won't touch much |
| 18:01.38 | prpplague | ahh |
| 18:14.02 | jbevren | heh |
| 18:14.02 | jbevren | SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux (none) 2.4.20 mips |
| 18:14.07 | jbevren | my wap54g bridge |
| 18:18.15 | prpplague | hehe |
| 18:19.02 | chouimat | prpplague: currently I won't got the #ep93xx channel ... because in the mood I'm currently I will get ban |
| 18:19.22 | prpplague | chouimat: hehe, no, i suspect you'd be among people who feel the same |
| 18:19.42 | prpplague | chouimat: cirrus has been neglecting the devrs |
| 18:20.27 | chouimat | prpplague: ok they give the instruction on how to flash the kernel (but only if you use the ramdisk ...) and if you want to flash a jffs2 fs you have to load the zImage because it's a completely different mtd setting .... ASS HOLES!!!! |
| 18:21.16 | prpplague | hehe |
| 18:22.14 | chouimat | prpplague: and the peoples who currently have the board are hardware guys with a windows and freebsd background (and pic) so guess who is having the fun |
| 18:22.25 | prpplague | hehe |
| 18:25.16 | chouimat | prpplague: I fill like going take a few beers |
| 18:25.30 | chouimat | errr feel |
| 18:25.50 | prpplague | hehe |
| 18:33.13 | jbevren | chouimat: aside from protecting the bootloader, who cares what the flash layout is |
| 18:33.30 | jbevren | redo the flash layout to suit your needs (bootloader, 1M zimage, remainder jffs) |
| 18:33.36 | jbevren | I did that with my ppc board |
| 18:34.59 | prpplague | jbevren: i think he needs to setup the default build for the dev folks to use |
| 18:37.18 | jbevren | ahh |
| 18:37.22 | jbevren | gotcha |
| 18:54.05 | chouimat | prpplague: and one them will be me ... but since I'm doing this remotly over SSH is a PITA ... |
| 18:54.33 | chouimat | jbevren: I think I will do this soon :) |
