Jan 12 20:10:47 johnrw: pong Jan 12 20:11:34 noz: did ya get my message about the patch for 2.6.26 ? Jan 12 20:12:15 I'll look at it. At least xt_CHAOS shouldn't be broken for 2.6.26 Jan 12 20:12:22 (as it is for .27) Jan 12 20:12:45 it relied on this new layout... where uncompress.h is in a new spot... Jan 12 20:13:08 but on 2.6.26 it wasn't there yet Jan 12 20:17:35 This is what happens when I commit without testing (slapped wrist for me) Jan 12 20:18:43 noz: you can't test all 3 versions!!!! Jan 12 20:18:58 That's what we are for! Jan 12 20:19:32 I'm going afk for a while. Jan 12 20:22:47 RoundSparrow: You had asked for a hostapd 0.6.7 yesterday... and MateIn4 made a patch for that... I just tested... and it built fine. Jan 12 20:23:31 If you ask him... he can send you the patch. When he comes back online.

Jan 13 00:04:22 it seems my driver is not available unless I enable the kernel version in kernel_menuconfig... then I can pick it. Jan 13 00:05:47 johnrw: then we should package it in the mac80211 package, not in kernel.

Jan 13 00:11:29 <_trine> johnrw, is that the alfa card you are talking about Jan 13 00:12:52 yes it is Jan 13 00:13:20 <_trine> they are good arnt they I have 2 of them Jan 13 00:13:41 I saw a patch on the mailing list for it... but i haven't seen any results... Jan 13 00:13:46 yes they are... Jan 13 00:13:57 <_trine> http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187 Jan 13 00:14:01 <_trine> did you use that Jan 13 00:14:04 shame, I haven't been able to use it... Jan 13 00:14:38 aircrack-ng 's psuedo ap mode... nah Jan 13 00:15:41 what is it called... i forgot already... Jan 13 00:16:00 <_trine> whats what called Jan 13 00:17:15 _trine: thanks... good article... Jan 13 00:17:32 <_trine> it works really well Jan 13 00:18:42 well I wanted to see if I could use it in a very novel way... in AP mode... but a $20 Linksys is already working... so the Alfa sits in a drawer... Jan 13 00:19:39 But I like the rp-sma connection... and the dual usb cable... Jan 13 00:19:57 MORE POWER please...! Jan 13 00:20:19 <_trine> I don't use the dual cable there is no need to I bought another single cable ,, a longer one Jan 13 00:20:51 it's for any usb port that might have power problems... Jan 13 00:21:27 <_trine> Well it was meant for usb 1's usb 2 has more power available Jan 13 00:21:27 just use the power from 2! kinda brilliant in a simple kind of way, if ya ask me... Jan 13 00:22:34 <_trine> I find the extra sensitivity of the alfa the main benefit Jan 13 00:23:14 well usb power... if you have ever delved into Dominick Rath's OpenOCD troubleshooting steps... for examplle... can be unreliable... underpowered etc... Jan 13 00:23:44 OpenOCD says, if you have trouble.... try using a powered usb hub... Jan 13 00:24:12 <_trine> yes ok but I can tell you that the alfa works great with a single usb cable 2 metres long from my eeepc 1000 Jan 13 00:24:38 <_trine> I'm really pleased with it Jan 13 00:24:42 well that's good to know... Jan 13 00:26:23 I have a couple long usb cables... but I was intending on making a router that had no wireless... no minipci but did have 2 usb ports... a wireless. did that last week with the p54usb driver... on a Linksys Wusb54gV2 Jan 13 00:26:41 <_trine> the driver I showed you has all it's output power indicators completely up the wall but I never set the card to a higher power so it might flag a bit on one usb connection if I did turn up the power but I have never felt I needed to Jan 13 00:27:44 <_trine> I have also had it running on a 5 metre powered type of usb cable and that worked OK as well Jan 13 00:28:17 <_trine> anyway it's my bed time Jan 13 00:28:22 <_trine> got to go Jan 13 00:28:27 thanks again for the link... but how about an antenna? Jan 13 00:28:33 ok, g'night Jan 13 00:28:38 <_trine> well Jan 13 00:28:58 rp-sma means you can extend the antenna... Jan 13 00:29:27 <_trine> I use one of those 15" 9dB antennas with it but I also have some home made parabolic dishes Jan 13 00:29:55 <_trine> but the 15" antenna has all I ever needed for now Jan 13 00:29:57 So I aint telling you anything you aren't intimately familiar with... Jan 13 00:30:01 <_trine> anyway g'nite Jan 13 00:30:03 rock on. Jan 13 00:30:31 * _trine is a microwave radio ham Jan 13 00:30:39 <_trine> :) Jan 13 00:31:18 _trine: spiral-cut?

Jan 13 01:01:52 i.e. at the version that i used to compile the rc2 pre builds which i'm going to post later?

Jan 13 02:06:21 It seems to have come from the http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/ Jan 13 02:06:35 yeah, it's probably some crappy legacy driver Jan 13 02:07:05 nbd * r14011 /branches/8.09/ (5 files in 3 dirs): merge r14009, r14010 to 8.09 Jan 13 02:09:44 well I don't know how old this doc is... but it seems to say http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187 something about blacklisting mac80211 and reasons to do so for that chip. rtl8187. It could be outdated. Jan 13 02:09:49 IMPORTANT Jan 13 02:09:49 If you have a new kernel that support mac80211 and includes the new rtl8187 driver then you MUST blacklist it otherwise the ieee80211 version of the module below will not work. See blacklisting mac80211 driver version below. Jan 13 02:11:36 I wound up trying out backtrack 3 to see if the adapter worked... and it seemed to... but since it wasn't in openwrt... I gave up on the card. I thus wasted $75 too Jan 13 02:12:53 nbd * r14012 /packages/libs/libbfd/Makefile: convert libbfd use regular packaging + BUILDONLY instead of Build/DefaultTargets which doesn't work with scripts/feeds Jan 13 02:14:28 As I said earlier... the latest compat-wireless and a $20 linksys usb adapter worked well for me using the new mac80211 and p54... AP mode was right there and stable.

Jan 13 02:20:10 wusb54gV2 Jan 13 02:20:43 it has a isl3887 chip in it... Jan 13 02:21:13 johnrw: do you have a USB vendor/product ID tuple for it? Jan 13 02:22:13 supposedly... this linksys should work also... WUSB54AG Jan 13 02:22:31 would you like a lsusb -v on it? Jan 13 02:23:44 yes please Jan 13 02:24:11 been looking for something to work with openwrt on an nlsu2 for a while now Jan 13 02:29:53 rwhitby: On the usr8200 wiki, I put some info on my success... Holy Grail really. People said I was wasting my time on a non wireless router! Jan 13 02:31:43 It's is now a wireless, when I want it. It's nice to have a removable wireless... hardware wise. ie, unplug it... and no wireless worries. Jan 13 02:35:33 I used this chart to make my decision... http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices/USB and chose the Linksys because I can add in a rp-sma connector if I so desire... but most of them are little usb sticks, no bigger than a thumbdrive. (harder to modify the antenna) Jan 13 02:45:19 nbd: A reason I would look to use the older driver, and stack, is according to this chart at linux-wireless the rtl8187 driver can't do anything but station mode. Jan 13 02:45:39 can the legacy driver do more? Jan 13 02:47:13 I can check and get back to you on that... but I think so. Jan 13 02:47:28 It does in Backtrack 3 Jan 13 02:47:48 what can it do? Jan 13 02:48:25 I will have to check... as I kinda wrote the card off... Jan 13 02:49:23 i just looked at the driver for a few seconds Jan 13 02:49:28 this is not something that we want to use Jan 13 02:49:38 apparently it does not have usable rate control Jan 13 02:49:47 much stuff is simply commented out with #if 0 Jan 13 02:49:57 uses a long obsolete stack which was never really finished Jan 13 02:50:25 i don't think it's worth merging thsi Jan 13 02:51:21 well you're the man... if you say so... I'll drop it. Jan 13 02:52:52 especially since $20 Linksys's work really well. Jan 13 02:55:42 Supposedly either of these units WUSB54AG wusb54gv2 can use the p54 driver, as they have isl3887 chips in them. Jan 13 02:56:13 nbd: what's the recommended alternative driver? Jan 13 02:56:26 (for AP mode) Jan 13 02:56:40 dunno, with that crappy driver i would not use these things in ap mode Jan 13 02:57:04 do you know of an alternative commonly-available usb wifi stick that does work well in openwrt in AP mode? Jan 13 02:57:30 no, but it looks like it wouldn't be too hard to add ap support to the mac80211 driver for these things Jan 13 02:57:45 if it doesn't support that already Jan 13 02:57:48 i did not check Jan 13 02:58:25 ok, thx. Jan 13 02:58:48 * rwhitby 's search continues for a usb wifi stick that works out of the box in AP mode for openwrt. Jan 13 02:59:00 nbd: Did you mean p54... or the r8187 when you said crappy? Jan 13 02:59:35 that legacy driver from the patch that was linked to earlier Jan 13 02:59:41 for rtl8187 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jan 13 02:59:57 2009
