Hello. I have a wireless access point connected to my Debian (woody) desktop machine at home. I have a laptop (running Debian sarge) which has a wireless PCMCIA card. The desktop machine is set up as a very simple router for the home network.
This all works well apart from one annoyance. Even though the wireless connection (from the laptop to the WAP to the desktop to the net) seems perfectly fine to me, as far as performance is concerned, I get a lot of performance-related error messages on the laptop screen. If I'm using X, of course, they don't show up (no console), but I'm not always using X and don't want to have to use it all the time. But often the messages come so thick and fast that it becomes very difficult to use, say, emacs or vi. I was thinking that I could probably get around this difficulty by redirecting the console output to some dedicated virtual terminal. I think I can do that by putting a line like: append="console=/dev/tty6" in /etc/lilo.conf. But how risky would this be? Or does anyone know of other possible solutions to the problem?
