[elflord woods]

hello
i've just installed 4.4 and answered yes during installation for the default
start of sshd

and then i add enable_sshd=YES in /etc/rc.local
but then it complains that it could not load host key

i couldn't find documents on how to start the sshd service

[OT] Can i connect two box directly using wireless cards ?

[elflord woods]

hi all

I have two laptops running linux and openbsd, both with a working
wireless card.

I am wondering if i can connect these two computers directly and
communicate between each other wirelessly

I'm a network nut and have no idea if this is possible.
Thanks

Re: [OT] Can i connect two box directly using wireless cards ?

[elflord woods]

Thanks everyone

i noticed on this page (http://openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Wireless) that my
card(ipw) can not be used as AP(access point)
Does this matter ?

hi all:

i've installed the fedora_base and turned on linux emulation in the
sysclt.conf
and i've mounted my matlab disk

i get:

  Sorry ! We could not determine the machine architecture for your host
  You may be attempting to install on an unsupported OS



Is there anything we could do ?


Thanks

how to fire up an intel wireless card ipw0 on lenovo thinkpad x31?

[elflord woods]

hi all
my tp x31 is well supported by the beloved openbsd according to
http://www.openbsd.org/i386-laptop.html
and in my dmesg i see that my card is recognized
but the light indicator for wireless connection can not be turned on
I've tried dhclient ipw0
no luck neither

do i need some kind of firmware to get it working ?

what does it mean by firmware and how do i go about to install it?

btw; what are the usual commands for configuring a wireless card ?
can someone kindly type some examples please ?
for example: what commands give a list of available wireless connections ?
and what command let me choose one of these ? etc

my school offers a wireless connection without any passwords and stuff
so all i need is the most basic config

many thanks in advance
