Re: [gentoo-user] Atheros chip with airodump-ng
2008/11/13 Simon [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Airodump-ng shows an empty table. I discussed some time ago with some folks at madwifi and... the answer was basically that they need help. The drivers are far from being alright, there are obvious issues that still needs to be addressed... the creation/destruction of interface wasn't working very well (this is like 3 months ago). Still the case with mine. Development of madwifi-ng has now slowed/stopped I believe. The conclusion was to move on to ath5k, the newer drivers for atheros wireless cards, I was told madwifi was to be obsolete soon. Also, kernel 2.6.27 (iirc) includes ath5k. Yes, I've been thinking that I should now install the athk5, but I wasn't sure if this is would perform better or worse than the madwifi-ng drivers. It seems like I should give it a spin. Thanks! -- Regards, Mick

The conclusion was to move on to ath5k, the newer drivers for atheros wireless cards, I was told madwifi was to be obsolete soon. I have an Allnet ALL0281 here which I haven't used in a while, but which I was VERY pleased with under madwifi. Under madwifi (not sure if it was madwifi-ng or ye olde one that I used) it can be used in master mode with multiple virtual access- points. For example, one could have separate WEP open networks on the same wireless card; these were presented as different interfaces (wifi0, wifi1, wifi...) so they could be firewalled appropriately. This card is sitting here ready for when I rebuild the server (in my Copious Free Time, obviously). Can anyone tell me if the ath5k drivers support virtual APs in this way? It is VERY useful.

[gentoo-user] Headless gentoo install
I need to install gentoo on an headless server. The problem is that I cannot attach a video on it at all, neither for the installation. I asked the seller to setup the bios for cd boot as main option, so that I can use a live distro for the gentoo installation. I know for sure that both the gentoo livecd and systemrescuecd need user interaction to setup ssh (at least I have to choose a root password). I think it won't be too difficoult to do it blind: - Insert cd - Poweron the machine - Wait a while - Type passwd ** ** /etc/init.d/net.sshd restart But I'm sure somewhere there are livecds with a fixed root password, that start dhcp and sshd on boot. Possibly x86_64. Does anyone know such a livedistro, or can anybody suggest a different method for my installation?

Re: [gentoo-user] Headless gentoo install
I doubt if any livecd distro would have a default root password and enable SSH at the same time, cos that would be a serious security flaw.

[gentoo-user] Bluez hcid.conf syntax
Hi list!
I have a minor problem:
I recently bought a Microsoft Presenter Mouse (I know, shame on me, but
it's the only affordable device with this kind of functionality).
So far, it works as expected:
- it works out of the box with the Microsoft dongle
- it works with my normal bluetooth adapter with some fine tuning (see
below)
- its special keys will need some additional configuration
However, there is one problem: It only works with deactivated
authentication and encryption. This is no problem by itself: You can
activate and deactivate these options in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf on a
per-device basis but for some reason this doesn't seem to work:
[...]
# Default settings for HCI devices
device {
[...]
auth enable;
encrypt enable;
}
device 00:1D:D8:35:C4:39 {
name “Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000”;
auth disable;
encrypt disable;
}
When I use this configuration I'm asked for a PIN for the connection,
which - naturally - doesn't work. When I disable auth and encrypt for
all devices, it works.
Have I misunderstood the syntax for this file?
Thanks in advance!

[gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6.26 and iwl3945
Hi list! I recently updated from tuxonice-2.6.24-r9 to tuxonice-2.6.26. I hoped it would solve irregular kernel crashes on my Dell notebook and would reactivate the wifi LED. However, it caused more problems than it solved. - the pvrusb2 (V4L2) kernel module works but causes kernel panics and oops - the bay (ACPI) module can't be loaded - suddenly Thunderbird disappears on suspend2disk/resume - the RFKILL switch is not always recognized (needs interface restart) - iwlwifi sometimes causes (non-critical) kernel oops when initialized - the wifi LED still doesn't work The first three points will need more investigation on my part and might soon be the topic of other threads. However, I'd like to hear your input on the other issues: Is this kernel version generally unstable? What do I need to make the LED work? What could I do to solve all these problems? I'm out of ideas at the moment and Gentoo Bugzilla doesn't offer much on these topics. I've attached the kernel config and a part of dmesg where iwlwifi caused an oops after I've restarted the net.eth1 script but then it worked flawlessly. Thanks in advance!

What about protect-owned, do you have that? It is like collision-protect, but it blocks you from overwriting files KNOWN to belong to other packages (where collisiion-protect will block any file on disk, even if it has no owning-package) There are also environment variables which explicitly protect/override collision detection for directories, regardless of the features setting.

Re: [gentoo-user] Howto compile Xgl on Gentoo (to have dual seat box)
2008/11/12 b.n. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Can't you do the same with AIGLX in Xorg? it's RH/Fedora project, but on project page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RenderingProject/aiglx there is no valuable info ...it's for managers only :-) noro
[gentoo-user] [OT?] /etc/shadow perms group shadow?
I have a question which may or may not be Gentoo-specific, but here goes: An application runs as a web server. In this application I have hooks to PAM. The results I was getting from attempting to authorize against PAM were fruitless, until I looked at making a way for the user running this to read /etc/shadow. At any rate, I wound up making a group shadow and making /etc/shadow owned by group shadow and group-readable, adding my user to this group. Now it works great. Isn't this something Gentoo should have a mechanism for handling already, or am I totally off the mark here? Does anyone know if this ability to read /etc/shadow to authenticate on a system is somehow deprecated in favor of something else, or just overlooked in Gentoo land... or what?

'-) Isn't this depreciated in favour of PAM? I think you want to be looking at why that wasn't working at fixing it. What if an administrator wants to install your app on a system where users authenticate against LDAP? Sorry to sound negative, but there must be some books / HOWTOs about PAM which show minimal programming examples. I'd copy one of those and see why it won't work on your system or how your code differs. Stroller.
