Nov 17 05:31:08 <saned> hello; does anobody have any pointer(s) to the pwc driver for logitech webcams?
Nov 17 05:31:53 <saned> where to get the files and/or how to compile the drivers?
Nov 17 05:32:22 <saned> I tried the crosstool method, but my gcc is too old (sic) for the build
Nov 17 05:33:22 <saned> gcc version 4.1.0 20060304 (Red Hat 4.1.0-3), Fedora Core 5
Nov 17 05:56:15 <saned> nm, found them in yahoo group nslu2, thx
Nov 17 16:00:14 <NSLU2-IRC> hi
Nov 17 16:01:27 <NSLU2-IRC> english or german speaking here?
Nov 17 16:02:41 <saned> english
Nov 17 16:02:45 <NSLU2-IRC> ok
Nov 17 16:03:16 <NSLU2-IRC> i´m interested in a NAS storage solution and discovered the nslu2 linuy fw mod
Nov 17 16:03:47 <NSLU2-IRC> can you tell me actual possible transfer rates
Nov 17 16:04:21 <saned> not sure, but I'd say it's really limited by the network bandwidth
Nov 17 16:04:27 <NSLU2-IRC> i need at least ~ 25 Mbit/s are they possible?
Nov 17 16:04:52 <saned> yeah, I was getting around 3MB/s or 25MBit/s
Nov 17 16:04:57 <NSLU2-IRC> well many NAS peripherals are very slow
Nov 17 16:05:04 <saned> oh I see
Nov 17 16:05:09 <NSLU2-IRC> ok, but thats the maximum?
Nov 17 16:05:28 <saned> I haven't tested further than that
Nov 17 16:05:43 <NSLU2-IRC> you didn´t get 4 or 5 MB/s, 3 was the limit?
Nov 17 16:05:45 <NSLU2-IRC> ok
Nov 17 16:06:15 <NSLU2-IRC> and you are absolutely satisfied with your nslu2 or are there any severe issues?
Nov 17 16:06:31 <saned> I'm a happy camper
Nov 17 16:06:43 <NSLU2-IRC> cool
Nov 17 16:07:05 <NSLU2-IRC> which fw are you using?
Nov 17 16:07:05 <saned> well, to be fair, just had it for a week; but people here had them for months
Nov 17 16:07:14 <saned> unslung 6.8b
Nov 17 16:07:25 <NSLU2-IRC> ok
Nov 17 16:08:26 <saned> yesterday I managed to plug a webcam and make it work
Nov 17 16:08:26 <NSLU2-IRC> sound like i will give it a try
Nov 17 16:08:31 <NSLU2-IRC> can you run a ftp server on it?
Nov 17 16:08:35 <saned> but then I realized how slow this processor is... a resize to a 200% of the image took more than 10 seconds!
Nov 17 16:08:52 <saned> it was a 160x120 img to 320x240
Nov 17 16:08:54 <NSLU2-IRC> thats one problem i have
Nov 17 16:09:20 <saned> yes, ftp can be activated thru the web interface iirc
Nov 17 16:09:25 <NSLU2-IRC> right now i have a usb HDD hooked on a fritzbox (DSL/VoIP Router)
Nov 17 16:09:35 <NSLU2-IRC> thats way to slow, as the fritz has only USB 1.1
Nov 17 16:09:49 <saned> right
Nov 17 16:10:47 <NSLU2-IRC> i try to use the hd on the net as mediaserver for intranet and as a allways reachable ftp from the inet (from work)
Nov 17 16:11:40 <saned> you could use sftp on the slug, it should be safer
Nov 17 16:11:55 <NSLU2-IRC> sftp?
Nov 17 16:12:02 <saned> ssh+ftp
Nov 17 16:12:06 <NSLU2-IRC> ok
Nov 17 16:12:27 <NSLU2-IRC> sounds good
Nov 17 16:13:02 <NSLU2-IRC> and i prefer having a modded piece of peripheral instead of an unmoded *g*
Nov 17 16:13:19 <saned> yeah :)
Nov 17 16:13:34 <NSLU2-IRC> fits into the line of dbox2, Xbox, Fritzbox, Humax 5400....
Nov 17 16:13:58 <saned> plenty of bragging rights :P
Nov 17 16:14:21 <NSLU2-IRC> i have no other hobbies but Volleyball and Skiing
Nov 17 16:14:36 <NSLU2-IRC> and skiing is restricted to the winter ;
Nov 17 16:14:46 <saned> perfect toy for a rainy weekend
Nov 17 16:15:26 <NSLU2-IRC> well, weekend means sunday for me, half saturday is "wasted" with volleyball...
Nov 17 16:16:29 <saned> you're not counting saturday nighters *g*
Nov 17 16:32:37 <NSLU2-IRC> well saturday night i´m out most of the time
Nov 17 20:37:39 <widrone> evening sluggers... (if there is any lurkers that is)
