| 05:30.14 | ldnblk | I have been trying to get my wifi working, I am using debian 6.0.6, compat-wireless-3.5.4-1, kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64, atheos AR5b125 network adaptor. when I use the network manager to connect to an open access, network it times out and reports that it was unable to get a ip address. when I set the ap to give a password it reports back saying that I supplied a bad password. is anyone else having |
| 05:30.15 | ldnblk | this problem. I have captured some kernel data, which can be viewed on the following links. http://pastebin.com/2Ykf0p5k , http://pastebin.com/ktSQmZFx |
| 06:33.30 | ChoHag | Bloody hell does linux still have hardward issues? |
| 06:33.50 | ChoHag | It's 2013 in 2 fucking days and we can't get the hardware to work? |
| 06:33.55 | ChoHag | Good fucking god! |
| 06:34.28 | ChoHag | It's just Windows 98 all over again. |
| 06:36.05 | ChoHag | Also, I have no idea how to fix your wireless card. My preferred solution to hardward which doesn't work is the bin in the kitchen. |
| 06:36.32 | ChoHag | Ain't nobody got time for that, etc. |
| 06:38.13 | ldnblk | ;chohag many have looked but no ones been able to assisit !. |
| 06:38.26 | ChoHag | Nobody cares about hardware issues any more. |
| 06:38.31 | ChoHag | Consumer hardware is boring. |
| 06:40.42 | ldnblk | :Chohag well if thats the case, then it will be linux for apps and development and windows 7 for the internet as my work around. not ideal but if there is now other way. |
| 06:41.01 | ChoHag | Windows is for games here. |
| 06:41.20 | ChoHag | Since work is linux, Linux does for everything else I need a computer for. |
| 06:41.45 | ChoHag | But I like quite a few things about Win 7, in spite of itself. |

| 19:25.31 | AndyMillar | ldnblk: did you get your wireless working? |
| 19:34.42 | ldnblk | :andymillar nope I did not :-( I worked with someone from linux-wireless and installed the latest and most recent package and it still did not work :-( |
| 19:36.26 | ldnblk | I,ve missed the unoficial drinks :-( |
| 19:39.57 | AndyMillar | ldnblk: what wireless card have you got? |
| 19:42.24 | ldnblk | atheaos ar5b125 |
| 19:47.36 | AndyMillar | bah, best suggestion so far has been to "replace the wireless card" :/ |
| 19:48.16 | ldnblk | :andymillar its a laptop. |
| 19:48.27 | AndyMillar | yes, it's a mini-pcie card on the motherboard |
| 19:48.32 | AndyMillar | (usually) |
| 19:49.19 | AndyMillar | but no, I've got nothing when it comes to atheros :( |
| 19:49.46 | AndyMillar | the broadcom on this thing was a pita to get working too |
| 19:50.54 | ldnblk | :andymillar I think it might be alot easier building a more recent kernel version. |
| 19:51.24 | AndyMillar | sure that's going to work?? :) |
| 19:52.04 | AndyMillar | ah, yes, it might |
| 19:53.05 | ldnblk | :andymillar well its the only thing that I have not tried, I've tried every thing else unless you have any other suggestions ? |
| 19:53.21 | AndyMillar | nope, going for a bleeding edge kernel might help |
| 19:55.01 | ldnblk | :andymillar going for a bleeding edge version did not work with the kernel so changing the kernel is the final option I think. |
| 19:55.44 | ldnblk | :andymillar compat-wireless being the bleeding edge. |
| 19:56.22 | ldnblk | :andymillar what distro are you using ? |
| 19:56.55 | AndyMillar | RHEL |
| 19:57.07 | AndyMillar | (6.3) |
| 19:57.46 | ldnblk | :andymillar does that have octave and freemat packages ? |
| 19:58.37 | AndyMillar | lemme have a look |
| 19:58.56 | AndyMillar | octave.x86_64 : A high-level language for numerical computations |
| 19:59.13 | AndyMillar | Repo : epel |
| 19:59.44 | AndyMillar | don't see freemat though |
| 20:00.52 | ldnblk | :andymillar what verilog (and simulators) and vhdl(and simulators) ? |
| 20:05.02 | AndyMillar | unsure |
| 20:05.52 | ldnblk | :andymillar ok I was just asking out of curiosity. |
| 20:06.16 | AndyMillar | I've never used either of those :) |
| 20:08.38 | ldnblk | :andymillar not a problem. I am currently using window plug and play 7, I have to logout and go over to debian and look to compile the newer version kernel I just downloaded, hopefully it will work |
