(from dj goku) >Welcome to KCLUG, glad you joined us. -- dj_goku -www.djgoku.com- -www.tektronic.org- ------------------------------ Thank you! From: Duane Attaway <dattawaykclug(a)dattaway.org> >I'm happy to hear linux experiences like yours. I don't seem to hear >enough of the great things people do lately. What people enjoy seems to >put a better perspective of what we do in this world. >Thanks for sharing! -=Duane http://dattaway.org ------------------------------ Linux is a bright spot in the world, no doubt about it! Has anybody tried Linuxbios yet? I read that you have to flash your ROM, but you can get booted in 5 seconds. Of course, with Linux you don't have to reboot much to begin with, unless you have a dual-boot situation. www.linuxbios.org Michael Bailey **************************

Firmware Activism
by Jonathan Hutchins 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

"Hardware vendors have responded positively to activism on the part of members of the OpenBSD community and developers and either allowed redistribution of specific firmware or else begun a dialogue with developers, the head honcho of the OpenBSD project says." http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/10/29/1098992287663.html?oneclick=tr…

HOWTO: install cheap RTL8180 wireless PCMCIA card in Linux
by Leo Mauler 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Using ndiswrapper to make a RealTek 8180 wireless card work properly. Rather than bother with the proprietary drivers for Linux, use this one instead. Both URLs are the same link. http://tinyurl.com/657j5 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?postid=877345#post87… __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Cool, but can you center the wording? How about this centered: I'm not Ignoring you, I'm TIER 3 Is that too many lines?

"lsof -o" under Linux
by Gerald Combs 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Does anyone know if it's possible to make lsof (or any other utility) print file descriptor offsets under Linux? It seems like this ought to work, it being 2004 and all.

RE: Cron
by Brian Densmore 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Thanks all for the suggestions. Here's my latest update. Cron is not running the script in the cron.daily directory. I'm using Vixie cron. Cron is running the root crontab I created for it, but I really wanted it to be part of the system cron jobs. So, now I have the script working and running, but I would like to figure out why the system cron job is not running. Anyone?

re: ndiswrapper

As I understand it, there is the potential for 802.11g cards to disrupt, or at least use, frequencies that are used by the military. Manufactureres have, according to rumor, been pressured not to release information that would allow users to select these frequencies. Open Source software does not provide any means for manufacturers to do this, and aparantly locking down the available frequencies in the hardware is impractical. This is just rumor - I have seen no confirmation that there has been any pressure on the manufacturers, nor can I confirm that this potential is anythnig more than an excuse to stick to a propietary model. That said, http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.drivers… Lists two 802.11g device driver projects, the Prism54 driver at http://prism54.org/ and the Intell IPW2200 at http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/. A little searching finds the prism-based Tekram TM-802G available from pcbay.com at $22.98 shipped. This article says that Intel is releasing Linux drivers for it's Centrino platform: http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/linuxunix/0,39020390,39156340,00.htm Here's an article from someone who picked up a prism based Netgear WG511 for $35 a year ago - gotta be cheaper now: http://toys.lerdorf.com/archives/15-802.11g-Netgear-WG511-and-Linux.html So it's just a matter of putting in the effort to find one that works, even if you really want 11g speed for $25.
