Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Wireless Etherboot
Samarth- I don't know anything about wireless Etherboot, but you already have Linux installed on the hard drives. You could save yourself a lot of trouble and use the existing X-Windows capabilities on the local machines. Just replace the current way of starting X-Windows with a call like the following: X -query bigserver Then just enable XDMCP on the server (in gdm/xdm/kdm). Admittedly, this does not give you the benefits of a truly diskless setup, but I don't believe there currently exists a slam dunk solution for using LTSP with laptops. You do get what I would consider the most powerful feature of LTSP... centralized updates and administration of applications. Jason From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2002 14:38:30 -0500 I have 10 laptops, Compaq LTE 5400's on which I am running Slackware. The configuration is as follows: Pentium 150 80 MB RAM 2GB HDD Cirrus Logic Adapter GD7543 1MB VRAM Lucent Wavelan Wireless Cards. These laptops run X in a 800x600 mode at 16-bit color. The performance takes a big hit when it comes to running browsers and other applications at the same time. I am planning on setting up a couple of systems as workstations connecting to a PIII-500 512MB RAM server. This will allow a performance comparison and based on the users responses, all the other laptops can also be setup the same way. I am trying to find the wireless etherboot image for these wifi nics but haven't really found one. If anybody in the list has tried this out previously, any suggestions on where to look will be greatly appreciated. _ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.

Re: [Etherboot-developers] Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Wireless etherboot
I _ could _ be wrong here, but me thinks that the Airport base station is just a re-labeled Lucent RG 1000. (about $170) I know that it is lucent something. could be an AP500 or AP1000 but RG is what I am thinking. Let me try to find one of these Airports on the net and see if I can't figure out which one.

In this case the card is tied to an AMD SC400 with a built-in PCMCIA adapter. It's not a full feature PCMCIA implementation. I think the BIOS sets up the card partially so then you can just access it. I just posted it to my web-site. Since changing jobs I've lost access to that hardware. He did some neat things like using the modem as a serial console. I had it netboot FreeBSD and boot to multi-user using NFS for the root swap since you only have 4M of RAM.
