| krazykit | piper69, only if there are no native drivers |
| Supaplex | I avoid propritary driver hardware where possible =) |
| piper69 | krazykit: how would i know if it has native |
| krazykit | piper69, lspcmcia should tell you what chipset it uses i think it's in pcmcia-tools or something then you can google the chipset and see if there are drivers |
| teledyn | some native drivers can suck though. ndiswrapper is better than acx100 |
| scx | piper69: http://linuxwless.passys.nl/ |
| piper69 | scx: that site doen't work |
| scx | yes it does oh! it worked 3 min ago... dunno, maybe in a few minutes more... |
| piper69 | krazykit: i don't see it in ifconfig, and lspcmcia doesn't work |
| krazykit | piper69, you need to install a package for lspcmcia pcmcia-tools, i thought, or something like that. i never bothered to install it on my laptop, as i don't use pcmcia card s but i'm off to bed now |
| piper69 | krazykit: good night bro |
| x3n0 | :( i'm on 2.6.19... |
| ljlolel | I kind of bonked my installation, is there a way to reinstall everything as if I were installing it -- without actually pulling out my cd's, some kind of apt-get system reinstall? |
| phorce1 | ljlolel: how badly bonked? |
| ljlolel | phorce1, not really too badly -- i just can't get X to work -- I don't really want to troubleshoot -- I know redoing all the packages will fix everything, so I just want to do that reinstalling |
| markybob | would ssh or https have the most overhead as far as authentication is concerned? |
| Guerin | markybob: inconsequential |
| phorce1 | ljlolel: try dpkg-rconfigure --priority=medium xorg (or maybe xserver-xorg) s/dpkg-rconfigure/dpkg-reconfigure |
| ljlolel | i've done all this, several times -- it's just annoying to fix, it always happens, i just want to make it clean |
| phorce1 | ljlolel: you can try running 'tasksel' to re-do everything that came after the "base install" |
| piper69 | will someone please help me with this card |
| Ramattack | hi everybody does anybody know how to know the block size on you're filesystem? |
| piper69 | anyone here had experince with Linksys wireless-B WCP11 pcmcia card...please help |
| ljlolel | phorce1, interesting |
| hark | purge x11-common/xserver-common, if only a reinstall helps you... |
| Ramattack | does anybody how could I get information about my filesystem? basically of my block size? |
| markybob | Ramattack, which filesystem? |
