Thanks, I didn't know about that one. It would do the job but unfortunately I can't run NetworkManager on these machines. I wonder if I can figure out how NM decides which driver goes to which...

Thanks, I checked lshal/hal-info but that doesn't tell me anything different from what sysfs has. I wonder if ar9170usb is doing something non-standard (versus the others) as it's the only one I...

Hi. I'm trying to map wlan devices (ex: wlan0) to driver names (ex: ath5k, b43, zd1211rw, etc). For far I've had success with digging in sysfs:


#!/bin/bash

WLAN=`ls /sys/class/net/ | grep...

I'd like to sell my EEE. It's black, with built-in webcam and 4GB of onboard Flash. It's running Ubuntu 8.04 with the nice netbook remix UI (via the Ubuntu-EEE distribution), so it's quite pleasant...

I wanted to mention that Intrepid Ibex pretty much supports draft-802.11s mesh networking out of the box with the b43 driver (ie: most Broadcom wireless cards).

If you have two or more PCs or...

Yeah, I tried that. It detected several available resolutions but not any wide-screen ones. For now, I've installed a Radeon 7000 PCI card which does the job (at the right resolution) as a...

Hi. I have a desktop PC with the Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02), which I think is a GMA 900 series adapter. The regular resolutions seem to work fine but I...

I have my iwl4965 capturing (tested with wireshark). I'm using the latest driver (now renamed iwlagn instead of iwl4965) and used iw to create a suitable monitor interface:

Assuming...

It's complaining because you don't have headers for the Linux kernel against which it's trying to compile the driver. Try:



sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`


And then repeat...

Making a custom kernel for 8.04 is really easy, the trouble here was making one that will boot the Live CD. If you want one for just normal (not Live CD) use, I can show you how to do it. Otherwise...

Did you copy your vmlinuz and initrd.gz to the casper directory? That's the kernel and initrd that's actually used to boot.

You need squashfs and unionfs, either built-in (not modules) or packed into the initrd. I would build them in (along with the loop module) and not deal with initrd though. If you boot and are...

I have solved it, though it's a bit of a pain:
1) patch the kernel to have squashfs support. I did this by applying the WRT project's 2.6.26 squashfs patch and then updating the squashfs files with...

Are you sure that eth0 is the LAN and not the WLAN interface? iwconfig will tell you. I'd really love to see this laptop in person as I own two T60's with the same hardware and I know of three...

Hmm.. well, they are a 'white box' reseller, that is they take a reference design (Asus, I think) and repackage it (tons of companies do this). They have very little control over what graphics...

That's strange. To load the driver manually:



sudo modprobe iwl3945


Use 'ifconfig -a' to see all interfaces. On my T60, this all works fine from the beginning, so I wonder what's...

I have the same laptop and WLAN card, and it all works fine, including on the Live CD.

Do you have the RF kill switch set by accident? That's the slider switch on the front left of the laptop. ...

You can do this with hostapd: http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostapd/

The version that comes in the Ubuntu repositories is a bit out of date, so you would probably want to build it from source. This...

Can you describe, in detail, the 'hardware problem' that you had?

Just select the previous kernel from the grub menu (press ESC to access it during boot, right after your BIOS screen). You can also uninstall the newer kernel:

sudo apt-get remove...

Ok, I've now learned about squashfs and the fact that it gets loop mounted, which makes sense. So the custom kernel needs to have squashfs support added as well as the loop block device enabled.

Hi. I'm trying to put together a Live CD based on 8.04 but with my own 2.6.26 kernel that I built from source. My CD boots but drops to a busybox shell and I am not sure why. What is required to...

Hi. I need to create a modified Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD with a custom kernel (2.6.26-rc5 at the moment). I'm testing my modified ISO by booting it in quemu. It boots but drops to the busybox shell. ...

At this point, I don't think that there's an easily installable package so the idea is to download Ralink's source code (at that link I posted) and compile the driver. I will do this for you a...

sudo dhclient eth0

where 'eth0' can be whatever interface you're using.
