Feb 05 17:33:58 <pauldotcom> hey guys, is there a specific model Atheros mini-PCI card that you recommend (for usage with openwrt)?
Feb 05 17:34:51 <[mbm]> can't really think of any, madwifi should support all of the 11g cards
Feb 05 17:40:00 <pauldotcom> coo, there seems to be some significant differences in price ($35-$125)
Feb 05 17:40:53 <[mbm]> yeah, a/b/g or just b/g, output in mW ..
Feb 05 17:41:29 <pauldotcom> I was thinking this one: http://www.netgate.com/product_info.php?products_id=279
Feb 05 17:41:44 <pauldotcom> and putting it in an Asus WL-500 Premium
Feb 05 17:41:48 <h3sp4wn> the very high output ones won't work at full power on stuff like wgt634u's
Feb 05 17:42:03 <pauldotcom> provided the antenna connectors match
Feb 05 17:42:30 <h3sp4wn> You can reduce it though anyway until it works
Feb 05 17:42:37 <[mbm]> all the minipci stuff seems to use the same antenna connectors, although sometimes the card already in the ap has the antenna soldered on
Feb 05 17:42:38 <pauldotcom> ok, cool, thanks
Feb 05 17:43:13 <pauldotcom> "U.FL antenna connectors"
Feb 05 17:43:19 <[mbm]> yep
Feb 05 17:43:31 <pauldotcom> sweet, thanks
Feb 05 17:43:35 <[mbm]> high power ones put out a bit of heat too
Feb 05 17:43:46 <[mbm]> they warn you not to use them in laptops
Feb 05 17:43:55 <pauldotcom> Yea, I think I will turn the power down for normal operation
Feb 05 17:44:02 <pauldotcom> and crank it up when needed
Feb 05 17:44:06 <[mbm]> heh
Feb 05 18:59:10 <CIA-6> nbd * r6268 /tags/whiterussian_0.9/ (. package/glib/patches/04-gcc3.4-fix): tag whiterussian 0.9
Feb 05 21:18:48 * armijn prods Kaloz 
Feb 05 21:18:59 <CIA-6> nbd * r6269 /trunk/target/linux/brcm-2.6/Makefile: add profile for the wgt634u
Feb 05 21:19:05 <armijn> or anyone else...
Feb 05 21:19:09 <armijn> like nbd!
Feb 05 21:19:11 * armijn prods nbd 
Feb 05 21:19:18 * [mbm] feels so unwelcomed
Feb 05 21:19:30 <CIA-6> nbd * r6270 /trunk/target/linux/brcm-2.6/Makefile: change target description
Feb 05 21:19:42 <armijn> [mbm]: sorry, nbd was the first victim I could see..
Feb 05 21:19:50 <armijn> it must be the [ and ]
Feb 05 21:19:53 * nbd prods armijn 
Feb 05 21:19:57 <armijn> they shield you off from my prodiness
Feb 05 21:19:58 <[mbm]> it's my sheild
Feb 05 21:20:10 <armijn> WAG325N, what chipset and stuff
Feb 05 21:20:28 <armijn> Linksys machine
Feb 05 21:20:34 * murb feels the argue to find one of his wgt634us and do some testing.
Feb 05 21:20:39 <nbd> armijn: no idea. no gpl code posted
Feb 05 21:20:41 <murb> urge.
Feb 05 21:20:59 <[mbm]> might be an ar7
Feb 05 21:21:18 <nbd> nah, probably not
Feb 05 21:21:21 <armijn> no GPL code eh
Feb 05 21:21:22 <armijn> good
Feb 05 21:21:27 <[mbm]> hmm don't think that model was released in the us or I'd track down the fccid
Feb 05 21:21:27 <nbd> haven't seen ar7 gear with draft-n wifi
Feb 05 21:21:41 <armijn> hm
Feb 05 21:22:04 <nbd> could be broadcom 63xx
Feb 05 21:22:10 <armijn> urgh...Totem on FC6 crashes when I insert one of my Nine Inch Nails CDs :S
Feb 05 21:22:14 <armijn> it has 99 tracks on it
Feb 05 21:22:16 <nbd> that's the most common chipset for draft-n adsl routers
Feb 05 21:22:26 <armijn> and no GPL code
Feb 05 21:24:17 <armijn> bcm4318_map.bin
Feb 05 21:24:19 <armijn> great
Feb 05 21:24:26 <armijn> broadcom based apparently
Feb 05 21:25:15 * [mbm] couldn't find a firmware download link
Feb 05 21:25:45 <armijn> http://www-nl.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Download_C2&childpagename=NL%2FLayout&cid=1152745883616&packedargs=sku%3D1169671164013&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper
Feb 05 21:26:06 <[mbm]> nasty long url
Feb 05 21:26:30 <armijn> ye
Feb 05 21:26:32 <armijn> +p
Feb 05 21:28:51 <nbd> brought to us by our l33t friends at sErCoMm
Feb 05 21:29:01 <armijn> ok
Feb 05 21:29:05 <armijn> not CyberTan?
Feb 05 21:29:29 <armijn> ok
Feb 05 21:29:50 <[mbm]> hmm where's the damn image in that? got some stupid setup exe
Feb 05 21:30:12 <armijn> [mbm]: downloaded wrong thingie?
Feb 05 21:30:24 <[mbm]> downloaded the first firmware link on the page
Feb 05 21:30:37 <[mbm]> ah
Feb 05 21:30:42 <armijn> scroll down :)
Feb 05 21:30:50 <nbd> btw. the firmware image has garbage from the cvs directory inside
Feb 05 21:30:54 * [mbm] downloads the other "firmware" :P
Feb 05 21:31:19 <nbd> some strings (in the right order):
Feb 05 21:31:19 <nbd> sqsh
Feb 05 21:31:20 <nbd> @:pserver:colin@172.21.1.234:/home/cvsroot
Feb 05 21:31:20 <nbd> wag325n/src/fs1
Feb 05 21:31:28 <[mbm]> squashfs ..heh
Feb 05 21:31:47 <[mbm]> and no gpl huh?
Feb 05 21:31:53 <[mbm]> something ain't right
Feb 05 21:32:10 <armijn> nbd: I noticed that
Feb 05 21:33:08 <armijn> ok, give me all the dirt :)
Feb 05 21:34:23 <armijn> lzma perhaps?
Feb 05 21:36:20 <[mbm]> gimme a sec to upload the firmware to a machine that can actually view it
Feb 05 21:36:58 <armijn> k
Feb 05 21:38:33 <armijn> urgh...I should stop working until late...
Feb 05 21:39:09 <armijn> anyway, would such a device be helpful for you?
Feb 05 21:39:39 <armijn> Cisco still did not send anything, marketing fucked up, etc.
Feb 05 21:39:40 <armijn> the usual
Feb 05 21:39:50 <armijn> and some of the stuff I requested can't be shipped in Europe
Feb 05 21:39:58 <armijn> or they won't let that float into Europe
Feb 05 21:40:01 <armijn> like the WR350N
Feb 05 21:40:03 <armijn> +T
Feb 05 21:40:50 <armijn> gah I really need to cut down on lychees
Feb 05 21:43:55 <[mbm]> hmm not much in that first squashfs
Feb 05 21:44:06 <[mbm]> CVS
Feb 05 21:44:10 <[mbm]> language
Feb 05 21:45:17 <armijn> there are two or three squashfsen
Feb 05 21:45:24 <[mbm]> yeah, checking the next now
Feb 05 21:45:49 <[mbm]> next is a linux /
Feb 05 21:46:01 <[mbm]> usual dev, etc, bin ...
Feb 05 21:46:15 <armijn> is it compressed with lzma?
Feb 05 21:46:24 <armijn> the squashfs that is
Feb 05 21:46:44 <[mbm]> mounted fine from an openwrt install, didn't look to see what it was
Feb 05 21:46:46 <armijn> because I can't mount it over loopback on my FC6 system
Feb 05 21:46:50 <armijn> hm
Feb 05 21:47:23 <[mbm]> ok, not so fine
Feb 05 21:47:31 <[mbm]> I can see the inodes but the contents are corrupt
Feb 05 21:47:32 <armijn> relatively fine
Feb 05 21:47:58 <[mbm]> just tried to get busybox off and got a nice null file
Feb 05 21:48:32 <[mbm]> seems squashfs choked trying to read it as lzma
Feb 05 21:50:33 <armijn> hm
Feb 05 21:51:23 <nbd> sooner or later i'll make a package directory with lots of different squashfs versions
Feb 05 21:51:39 <[mbm]> well, starting with squahsfs3.0 there's an unsquash tool
Feb 05 21:51:44 <nbd> oh, nice
Feb 05 21:51:56 <armijn> [mbm]: but that only works for squashfs3.0 filesystems
Feb 05 21:52:02 <[mbm]> exactly
Feb 05 21:52:04 <armijn> for now
Feb 05 21:53:02 <[mbm]> hmm ok, two squashfs images .. a language overlay and a root fs
Feb 05 21:53:11 * [mbm] looks around for a kernel
Feb 05 21:54:11 <armijn> ok
Feb 05 21:55:46 <[mbm]> well, it's a 2.6.8.1 kernel
Feb 05 21:55:53 <armijn> yeah, I saw that
Feb 05 21:55:57 <armijn> so broadcom is likely :)
Feb 05 21:56:36 <armijn> (duh)
Feb 05 22:00:10 <armijn> I'd really like to know if the upnp daemon there is linked with libiptc
Feb 05 22:00:22 <armijn> probably it is
Feb 05 22:15:25 <[mbm]> hell of a lot of whitespace in that firmware
Feb 05 22:15:44 <armijn> I can use all the info you can extract from it
Feb 05 22:16:00 <armijn> will talk to an SFLC lawyer tomorrow
Feb 05 22:16:03 <armijn> or ex-SFLC
Feb 05 22:20:00 <[mbm]> hmm parts of that squashfs aren't even compressed
Feb 05 22:21:05 <[mbm]> no root password
Feb 05 22:21:12 <[mbm]> root::0:root
Feb 05 22:21:14 <[mbm]> :)
Feb 05 22:21:33 <loswillios> lol
Feb 05 22:21:45 <armijn> interesting.
Feb 05 22:22:01 <[mbm]> that's assuming you can ever get anywhere that you'd be prompted for one
Feb 05 22:25:14 <[mbm]> can't find a kernel in the firmware image; it may be just a filesystem upgrade
Feb 05 22:26:02 <[mbm]> although there is something odd just after 0x4004E0 in the image
Feb 05 22:26:21 <[mbm]> I assume the "CFE1CFE1" means it has something to do with cfe :P
Feb 05 22:28:08 <armijn> well, it is big enough to assume it contains a kernel
Feb 05 22:42:12 <[mbm]> most of it is nulls
Feb 05 22:42:19 <armijn> hmkay
Feb 05 22:42:21 <armijn> weird then
Feb 05 23:27:06 <[mbm]> armijn: do you have one of these wag devices? probably not that hard to get root on it
Feb 06 00:20:01 <CIA-6> nbd * r6271 /trunk/rules.mk: fix overzealous kmod stripping - it killed kernel module parameters (#1301)
Feb 06 00:23:28 <[mbm]> hmm every day a new microsoft exploit gets mentioned in the media
Feb 06 00:23:58 <[mbm]> it'd be much more effective if they were all unleashed at once
Feb 06 00:24:05 <nbd> yeah
Feb 06 00:25:55 <CIA-6> nbd * r6272 /trunk/package/base-files/files/sbin/ifdown: fix typos in ifdown (patch from #1319)
Feb 06 00:42:46 <nbd> armijn: ping
