[gentoo-user] ath5k and wpa_supplicant
Hi All, Until gentoo-sources-2.6.29-r5 came out I was able to use my ath5 card with wpa_supplicant. My /etc/conf.d/net contained: = modules=( wpa_supplicant ) wpa_supplicant_ath0=-Dmadwifi = All went swimmingly well until I tried to re-emerge wpa_supplicant after I compiled my new kernel - an error message warned that CONFIG_KMOD was missing ... = * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.6.29-gentoo-r5 * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options... *requires CONFIG_KMOD to be set to y or m * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly. * Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems. * Once you have satisfied these options, please try merging * this package again. = I searched for KMOD in vane - couldn't find it in the new kernel .config. So I concluded that it may be curtains for wpa_supplicant. I enabled ath5k in the kernel as a module, commented out all the wpa_supplicant entries in my /etc/conf.d/net and rebooted. When I plugged in my ath5 cardbus it seems that the device is recognised, the module loaded, but it cannot associate: = * Found 00:1D:A2:86:D1:00 (managed, encrypted) * Found 00:1D:A2:86:D1:80 (managed, encrypted) * Found 00:1D:A2:86:D4:C0 (managed, encrypted) * Found blah-blah at 00:1D:A2:86:CF:01 (managed) * Found 00:1D:A2:86:CF:00 (managed, encrypted) * Connecting to blah-blah in managed mode (WEP Disabled) ...

Gimp is ideal for creating icon files (as in ico file type) although I am not sure that's what you're talking about. If converting an RGB file to bw is a problem, you could try desaturating the image while in RGB and then converting it to index mode. It is always better to work on an RGB file and then convert it to Index mode when the image is complete. If the icon image is displaying lines when rendered, I suspect the image is distorting due to incorrect width and height settings in the conversion code, or the icon image has not been created with the correct height and width for the default settings of an icon file (ie: 16x16 px or 32x32 px). -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Thanks Michael, I did try it, but I am not sure if wpa_supplicant is meant to

It should work with both - from its perspective, there shouldn't be any
difference between in-kernel or an external module, actually :-)
So if it doesn't work already with -Dwext, you might want to make sure
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf is properly configured
(wpa_supplicant usually doesn't automatically pick up networks it is not
configured for).
man wpa_supplicant.conf helps here :-)
A minimal configuration for an unencrypted network might look like
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
network={
ssid=your-essid
key_mgmt=NONE
}
Hope that helps.

man-pages-posix showed up after I'd already upgraded man-pages so there was no
blocker. Again, though, can't remember. Thanks anyone for the help.

The only problem is I'm not exactly sure how to resolve the block without potentially breaking the system. [blocks B ] sys-apps/man-pages-3 (sys-apps/man-pages-3 is blocking sys-a man-pages-3 ? There's no such version in portage. I have them both installed: sys-apps/man-pages-3.21 sys-apps/man-pages-posix-2003a No blockers.
[gentoo-user] no battery state/info in minimal-x86-install-20090526.iso?
Hi group, Just booted into the latest iso on my netbook and first I wanted to check the battery state: #cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state. No such file. Looked all over /proc/acpi/. Nothing in /var/log/messages. So I do #modprobe battery but that doesn't do it. This is an Asus product, so I do #modprobe asus_acpi and get: FATAL: Error inserting asus_acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.28-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/acpi/asus_acpi.ko): No such device. Is there a new way to find out how much charge is left on the battery, the rate of charge etc? The charge light is starting to flash so something must be checking it. Maxim
Re: [gentoo-user] irssi autosendcmd
Turns out autosendcmd for irc.freenode.net wasn't spelled correctly. .

My current irssi config (just the important part) looks like this: [snip configuration] My nick gets set and identified on irc.oftc.net, but not on freenode. Anyone know what could be going on here? I don't know if this will help, but... 1.) The /network command has a -nick option; you shouldn't have to use -autosendcmd to change your nick. 2.) FWIW, both Freenode and OFTC support alternate ways of identifying: On Freenode you can use a server password, and on OFTC you can use a client-side SSL cert: http://www.oftc.net/oftc/NickServ/CertFP -- -- Jake Todd // If it isn't broke, tweak it!
