Feb 15 09:37:51 <mmartin> hello everybody
Feb 15 09:39:08 <mmartin> i am having build issues with angstrom-2007.12-stable - complains about fortran not working
Feb 15 09:40:14 <mmartin> kinda weird, because the .dev branch built quite ok.
Feb 15 09:40:46 <mmartin> anyone care to comment?
Feb 15 09:42:35 <mmartin> oh yeah, and it says something about LD_LIBRARY_PATH not being set accordingly, but wonder how that should fail. I looked through my local.conf to see if i borked something but am quite clueless.

Feb 15 16:35:28 <summatusmentis> !seen mimecar
Feb 15 16:35:30 <cdbot2> mimecar (n=Miguel@24.Red-81-44-67.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net) was last seen quitting from #gpe-project 2 days, 18 hours, 41 minutes ago stating ({"Leaving."}).
Feb 15 19:33:06 <mimecar> hi
Feb 15 19:33:17 <mimecar> johnx: are you here ?
Feb 15 19:34:09 <mimecar> summatusmentis: are you here?
Feb 15 22:37:47 <marlon__> could anyone here help me get wifi working on my poodle?
Feb 15 22:42:05 <HRH_H_Crab> marlon__: ill try
Feb 15 22:42:10 <HRH_H_Crab> whats up?
Feb 15 22:45:58 <marlon__> oh hey thanks
Feb 15 22:45:58 <marlon__> i have a poodle, and a sandisk connect+ (prism3 i think) wifi cf card
Feb 15 22:45:59 <marlon__> i dont think hostap is loaded? but im not totally sure how to check
Feb 15 22:46:01 <marlon__> iwconfig shows only lo and irda0
Feb 15 22:46:29 <HRH_H_Crab> lsmod would tell you if you have hostap loaded.
Feb 15 22:47:18 <marlon__> ah ok
Feb 15 22:47:44 <marlon__> nothing in that list says hostap
Feb 15 22:48:02 <HRH_H_Crab> hmm
Feb 15 22:48:06 <HRH_H_Crab> try and modprobe it?
Feb 15 22:48:16 <HRH_H_Crab> before you do that though,
Feb 15 22:48:25 <HRH_H_Crab> you're running angstrom right?
Feb 15 22:49:00 <marlon__> whoa!
Feb 15 22:49:00 <marlon__> lol yeah i did that just before you suggested it.. hostap is now loaded :)
Feb 15 22:49:00 <marlon__> i just upgraded my version (yes angstrom) like 2 days ago, guess i hadnt tried since then...
Feb 15 22:49:21 <HRH_H_Crab> did you boot (or unsuspend) your machine with the card in place?
Feb 15 22:50:06 <HRH_H_Crab> on my machine, i have to boot (or unsuspend it) without the card, and then insert the card and it loads all modules (and brings up the interface) automatically.
Feb 15 22:50:11 <marlon__> i dont think so.. why?
Feb 15 22:50:29 <HRH_H_Crab> ive got a spitz though
Feb 15 22:50:35 <HRH_H_Crab> so its obviously a bit different.
Feb 15 22:50:39 <marlon__> do you have to modprobe hostap first?
Feb 15 22:50:53 <HRH_H_Crab> no
Feb 15 22:51:15 <marlon__> yeah i guess so
Feb 15 22:51:15 <marlon__> ok well, hostap is now loaded, but im not sure where to go from here.  the led on the card is not on
Feb 15 22:51:40 <HRH_H_Crab> you may need to modprobe the following stuff too:
Feb 15 22:51:43 <HRH_H_Crab> hostap_cs
Feb 15 22:51:49 <marlon__> iwconfig still shows nothing
Feb 15 22:51:49 <marlon__> i think hostap should work with this card though?
Feb 15 22:52:04 <HRH_H_Crab> ieee80211_crypt
Feb 15 22:52:14 <HRH_H_Crab> ^ ignore that
Feb 15 22:52:19 <HRH_H_Crab> ieee80211_crypt_wep
Feb 15 22:52:54 <HRH_H_Crab> (check with lsmod if they are already loaded)
Feb 15 22:53:28 <HRH_H_Crab> im just looking at my lsmod output (i think my card is prism 3 too)
Feb 15 22:53:34 <HRH_H_Crab> it certainly uses hostap.
Feb 15 22:54:02 <HRH_H_Crab> if you want to use wpa you are on your own btw! ;)
Feb 15 22:54:21 <HRH_H_Crab> i think it can be done but all my efforts to get it working have lead me to a stinking headache.
Feb 15 22:54:47 <HRH_H_Crab> i just make an ssh tunnel to my proxy and set my browser to that for security! ;P
Feb 15 23:05:44 <marlon__> ok just modprobe hostap_cs?
Feb 15 23:05:44 <marlon__> just a second, im rebooting cause my system froze when i re-inserted the card :S
Feb 15 23:05:51 <marlon__> ok i rebooted, then inserted the wifi card, nothing happened.  so then i modprobed hostap and hostap_cs
Feb 15 23:05:53 <marlon__> not sure what to do next...
Feb 15 23:06:13 <marlon__> whoa! ok i modprobed those two, then took the card out and put it back in.. now the light is on!
Feb 15 23:06:23 <marlon__> how do i tell it which network to connect to? (my home network uses wpa)
Feb 15 23:06:47 <marlon__> oh lol i c
Feb 15 23:06:51 <marlon__> hmm.. well at least its working somewhat! do you know how i tell it what network to connect to?
Feb 15 23:10:24 <HRH_H_Crab> wpa is a pain.
Feb 15 23:10:29 <HRH_H_Crab> well, you have two options.
Feb 15 23:10:34 <HRH_H_Crab> do you know debian?
Feb 15 23:10:47 <HRH_H_Crab> angstrom uses a very similar network config style to debian.
Feb 15 23:11:00 <HRH_H_Crab> but, ive had great success with just using the gui network tool.
Feb 15 23:12:56 <HRH_H_Crab> marlon__: see if you have a wlan0 first though
Feb 15 23:12:58 <marlon__> hmm.. i dont really know debian
Feb 15 23:12:58 <marlon__> ive been looking in the angstrom manual though, ifup brought up the interface
Feb 15 23:12:58 <marlon__> im editing /etc/network/interfaces right now
Feb 15 23:13:13 <marlon__> i do :)
Feb 15 23:13:32 <HRH_H_Crab> nice
Feb 15 23:13:39 <HRH_H_Crab> i think you are 99% of the way there then.
Feb 15 23:13:55 <HRH_H_Crab> the real issue is going to be wpa, but sadly i can't help with that.
Feb 15 23:14:06 <HRH_H_Crab> im sure someone else in this channel is using it though.
Feb 15 23:15:24 <marlon__> hmm..
Feb 15 23:15:24 <marlon__> i appreciate your help though, i think im getting close
Feb 15 23:15:24 <marlon__> maybe i'll try a non wpa network just to get started
Feb 15 23:15:24 <marlon__> i can use the gui network tool for that? should i comment out the stuff in /etc/network/interfaces first?
Feb 15 23:16:03 <HRH_H_Crab> or make a backup
Feb 15 23:16:18 <HRH_H_Crab> i think the gui tool just writes to /etc/network/interfaces anyway.
Feb 16 02:52:43 <kerm|t> big channel for such a small unit of measurment
