Are you feeling safe using internet, anymore ??
Two places to read from, when you own your first DSLR. Immensely helped me in understanding the tech bits!
Software's to assist the photographer in you!!
--more to come soon!
I always had these thoughts
I was always shying away from installing the firmware, building from the source. But when I found no other way, I ventured to get things done with sourceforge.net and here is how.
Step 1:
Step 2:
Remember, most important step is the "less INSTALL' and reading through the instructions.
Finishing it off:
Thank your lucky stars, thank the developers who got these packages for you and last but not least thank sourceforge.net for hosting the ipw3945 page.
PS: If you have followed the 'INSTALL' file precisely you should see the wireless networks in your 'nm-applet' list, when you click on it.
I had to use sudo every here and there, especially when i do the './load' within the 'ipw3945-1.2.2' directory. So use it at abundance, shouldn't hurt you much !
This will only get you started with perfecting the wireless interface configuration. Once the mentioned procedure is completed, you might want the wpasupplicant and other accompanying packages like wpa_gui also for completing the setup.
Update:
After updating my Debian etch DVD's to lenny using jigdo, I installed lenny on the laptop. Once done, I modified the sources.list as below and did a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
This updated my kernel to 2.6.24 and it got me the correct wireless drivers (iwlwifi, this is the next life of deprecated ipw3945 driver). Wireless was working fine after the update and the networks were showing up in the nm-applet.
apt-get install syslog-ng syslog-summary
In the source s_all{}, uncommented "udp();"
under the default destinations, added "destination df_netscreen { file("/var/log/netscreen.log"); };"
Under the default filters, added "filter f_netscreen { facility(LOCAL0); };"
Added to the end of the configuration file, the meat of the new log entry,
log { source(s_all); filter(f_netscreen); destination(df_netscreen); };
sudo /etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart
| "f_netscreen" & "df_netscreen" These are mere identifiers and since I am setting this up to get my Juniper Netscreen25 logs to be accumulated here, I gave the name "*netscreen*". "LOCAL0" This is the log facility I used on the Juniper Netscreen25 for setting it up to send the logs to the newly set up log server. Hence the string "LOCAL0" appeared in the facility description in the filter syntax. |
/var/log/netscreen.log {

}
filter f_messages {
level(info,notice,warn)
and not facility(LOCAL0,auth,authpriv,cron,daemon,mail,news);
};
#log { source(s_all); filter(f_cron); destination(df_cron); };
