Hi,



I'm a bit of a wireless newbie. I'm trying to connect my tnet1130 PCI
wifi card (104c:9066) with the ndiswrapper to a Asus WL-500GP access point.



I've got the ndiswrapper going, using Debian Etch, kernel 2.6.18-5-686,
and building the ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.18-5-686 package, version
1.28-1+2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch4.


Do you need help?X

I'm testing wpa_supplicant with a config file:
~$ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/test.conf


eapol_version=1


ap_scan=1


network={


    ssid="goose"


    scan_ssid=1


    proto=WPA


    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK


    psk="test1232"


}



However it seems to repeatedly disconnect after it succeeds associating,
where it says 'CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED':



~$ sudo wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/test.conf -i wlan0 -D wext  -d
Initializing interface 'wlan0' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant/test.conf'

(See my other reply; *maybe* using the apt hooks is easier--but in 
reality it belongs to the dpkg space. Imagine I download a .deb and 
install it manually using dpkg -i, it would not call my hooks. So 
wrapping dpkg seems like a better solution, possibly a bit more 
complicated.)

I've reported it now. I thought only severe (data corruption) bugs and 
security problems are fixed in stable releases (and I assume(d) that 
perl upstream will have noticed and fixed the warning anyway by the time 
I sent the bug report, but in any case I've reported it anyway now).

As I wrote, I'm using Kenshi MUTO's custom kernel ( http://kmuto.jp/debia=

It provides 2.6.20 kernels for Sarge.

By the way, Maarten gave me this link, it may help someone besides me.

Thanks.  I'll look into this tonight.  I also have a spare, never-used
identical router that I can test.  I may also see if I can ping from the
netinst CD in rescue mode.  That succeeds on the machine I'm using now.

Is it strange that I can't get past the router with ping or with a browser
but I do get name resolution?  Surely I have to get past the browser for
name resolution.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hi

I built DRI from source since I needed some very recent fix. I don't
know how long it takes for new code to reach debian unstable/testing
repositories, which are the ones I'm using. The installation is as
simple as copying the compiled libraries to the relevant places, so I
couldn't (or figured out how to) use stow or checkinstall (the latter
gave me an error about overwriting some package). Therefore I did just
backup every library I had to replace with the freshly compiled ones.

I feel uneasy having these libraries without the system knowing it, is
there any more elegant way to deal with this?

Thanks

With video, I've found that opengl is broken. On the other hand xv
works now (but xv video scaling is horrible: there's no smoothing of
low res video).

Yes, I've seen some error message related of diversion of libGL while
installing fglrx-driver.

I had to:
- de-install fglrx-driver
- remove all libGL diversion (with dpkg-divert)
- re-install fglrx-driver

Hi, everyone,

     I currently run Debian (lenny) only on my workstation here.  I have
a short term need to run a software package which only exists for
windows (I can=B4t get it to install properly under wine).  I=B4d like to
run WinXP in a vm in order to do this without rebooting or working on
a separate computer.  I=B4m more interested in ease of setup than in
performance, since I can still work on other tasks in linux while=20
running this.  What would be the easiest way to do this; vmware,
Xen, bochs, or some other?  Thanks in advance for any advice.

-Chris

Yes, did the command again escept for the typo above. Definitely was
unmounted.

Again, the drive not mounted. I did the two commands again, and
followed your suggestion to unplug the device after each
command. Still have the pesky files.

I have a newly installed system and no /etc/environment, looking at files from
an old system, it's supposed to be created by localeconf which no longer exists.

The settings are now set in /etc/defaults/locale but the are not read for new
terminals, also doesn't seem to help what kind of shell is used.

Opening a terminal, no matter which, $LANG is not defined, if I do su <user>
the value gets defined which I believe means that /etc/defaults is sourced.
Can't find what is the difference and why it is not sourced for new terminals
in X.

Yes, the device should have been /dev/sdd.

Yes, I was tired. Here's the right device:

        $  df /media/usb-key
        Filesystem     1K-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on
        /dev/sdd1         499440   303916    195524  61% /media/usb-key

Yes. I inadvertantly ran the df on the wrong device, a usb mass
storagwe deveice. My usb-key is definitely /dev/sdd, and it has one
partition, sdd1.
