anyone know how to set hostap up???
Hey folks, I'm upgrading my asterisk server to new (old) hardware. OS is the latest CentOS 5.3, and is running fine. I want to add wireless to it, so I can be dead clever with wireless mobiles / internal extensions, etc, but as usual this is where I fall down! I've got a D-link usb thingy which has a rt73 chipset in it. This works fine until I try to put it into master mode, when I get the message # iwconfig wlan0 mode master Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Copious amounts of googling suggest that I need to run hostapd to extend the available services to run in this mode. However, due to the large amounts of development in other directons, including the serialmonkey project, and ralink themselves, I am now completely confused. Can anyone point me to a resource that explains what needs to be done, preferably without compiling everything from source??? Cheers, Steve -- Steve Holdoway http://www.greengecko.co.nz

I haven't heard of people with Asperger's syndrome having trouble coping with visual information and thinking of the 'big picture' to the same degree as myself. The difference between language processing and everything else in my own mind is large enough to make results on the IQ test meaningless. Put it this way, until I was tested I failed to realise that other people don't systematically convert the geometric problems (which shape doesn't belong) into word problems (which sentence doesn't belong). -- Quote of the login: On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. -- Cartoon caption

OT: Introductions...
I hope this isn't to off topic but I thought that it would be a good idea to introduce my self and make some warnings about what I'm like. I suppose that I'm fairly close to the nerd stereotype. I've been watching Star Trek since age four (and can still remember some of those eps) and started coding a few years ago when I borrowed a copy of Red Hat 8 from the library in Rangiora a couple of years ago. Don't ask me about what I'm doing though, I'm to much of an autobogophobe (http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/B/bogotify.html) to be any good at it. I'm currently studying for LPI level 1. WARNING: One major thing to take into account when dealing with me is that I only really have use of the literal language parts of the brain. This can make things awkward if you use implied elements of language[1] or even worse if I try expressing any emotions. For future reference, if I ever flame any one or generally give the impression of being a homicidal maniac it probably means that I'm a little annoyed. Moving on, I have read the FAQ's but are there any things about the people here I should now? This will probably help quite a bit. [1] A surprisingly large chunk of what is meant by most people is only hinted at. The average listener fills in the gaps without consciously thinking about it. My white brain cells don't operate fast enough for me to fill in those blanks in under fifteen minutes. -- Quote of the login: On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. -- Cartoon caption

Thanks for that, nice site. I now use kvm for virtualisation so don't need the virtualbox notes but there's lots of other stuff there that looks really helpful. 2009/5/20 Seriously Ubuntu : > Just in passing, might be handy for some. > > Eva's useful guide to Ubuntu 9.04 > > Long 77 characters URL: > http://www.johannes-eva.net/index.php?page=2009_04_useful_ubuntu_guide_jaunty#virtualbox > > Tiny 25 characters URL: > http://tinyurl.com/cfdf75 >

Shows you that a little bit of digging is necessary because the answers are just below the surface. I got the first link from Google, but didn't click on "About". That would have settled it.
