Does the Asus come with sufficient RAM to run samba and openvpn simultaneously? How good is the wifi coverage?

Community, Do you see the benefits of this idea of 'sharing/selling'? A simple 'ad' has sparked so much interest on hacking the router etc. Good work. -V- http://about.me/venkasubhttp://blizzardzblogs.blogspot.com/ ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

From any other desktop you will have to give the IP/hostname. A clear picture of your network topology is extremely essential to make any suggestion.

I don't know for how long you have been using linux so I had to ask very basic questions too. Sometimes the problem is just that the speaker is not muted. these things should be discussed on the mailing list only so that there is a record of things and come in handy for someone later. If there is a driver issue, i.e your laptop is too new for the driver to be yet available then I am sorry to say that you will have to wait for sometime before the newer version of alsa is out. I myself had to wait for 6 months. you can also try to download the sources of the newest drivers and install them from source. hope this helps. -- regards Anuvrat Parashar Vice President, ALiAS (Amity Linux Assistance Sapience) Member, Digit Community Advisory Council ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Re: [Ilugc] [EXCHANGE] Netgear WGR14 v7
On the topic of WiFi APs, I believe the Buffalo WiFi routers/APs have a customized dd-wrt firmware. I vaguely recall their pricing (to be a bit higher than the paper weight cube Linksys units. Anyone has any experience with the Buffalo units? For uber flexibility (and higher cost), there are the ALIX (pcengines.ch) and Soekris (soekris.com) boards and Voyage-Linux. -- Arun Khan ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Didn't do any tests apart from that, but if you want me to run any specific ones, Can you configure the transmit power in the unit? IIRC, the max. transmit power for WiFi is about 200mW (this is the number I got for a WiFi card I bought). In various forums, I have come across the output number in the range of 20-50 mw for consumer models. -- Arun Khan ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Increasing transmit power has following disadvantages: 1. shorten the device life to 2-3 months. 2. produce distorted radio signals and reduce signal quality It's best to run the device with it's defaults. Safe way to increase range is to fit an external antenna, here are some neat DIY hacks: 1. cantenna http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantenna 2.
