[Emc-users] Laptop Pcmcia wireless not working

2008-10-04 Thread Bryce Johnson
I'm just started to use emc and I have cut out just a few things.  I was
surprised that it worked fine even though it is a 700mhz 128ram... and a
laptop at that.   I had ubuntu 8.04 installed and later ran the script to
install emc.

One thing that is a little annoying.  I have pcmcia wireless card that works
fine in regular ubuntu.  But when I run the rtai kernel version that the
script generated, my wireless no longer works.  Does the pcmcia or certain
wireless drivers get disabled by default in the install?

some wireless cards work again if you install the extra modules from the
package called
linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-12-rtai

I'd suggest as the easiest way to fix this is to buy a pair of Linksys
WRT54GL's. Set up one as an access point and the other as a client. You
could probably use a directional antenna on each side and shoot through
your walls, saving any wiring. I tend to use these:

http://www.wallacecompany.com/biquad/
http://martybugs.net/wireless/biquad/

With OpenWRT firmware these WRT54GL's (and NSLU2's) become very handy
which seems kind of a waste to run as a simple AP or client, but
everything seems to be priced the same, so why not use them? 

In the past, I've used a sheet of aluminum bent to a parabolic shape
mounted the router so that the stock antenna was at the focus. This
seems to work very well. I had mine outdoors, so I had to occasionally
change the garbage bag protecting them.

  well.. not sure you can do much on 6.06, might want to try a 8.04 livecd, 
  maybe that gets it working..
  Try the stock Ubuntu 8.04 if the emc2 one doesn't do the trick.
  What I would do is get a cheapo access point, and set that up as a client, 
  that way you connect using a regular eth card.

  Some extra drivers don't get installed in the default emc2 install script.
  try installing linux-ubuntu-modules-hardy-rtai
  sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-hardy-rtai from a terminal 
  should do the trick.
  If that still doesn't make it work, you might also need 
  'linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-rtai'
