Re: [SLUG] HFS+ support
I suspect that the cause is poor support for journalling. I created a separate HFS+ partition with journalling turned off. This time I didn't have to force rw mode, so I suspect it will be more stable. I'll post back here if it dies again.

[SLUG] Open hardware for data capture -SBC with GPRS modem
Dear List, Can anyone recommend a good source of open hardware designs / components. I am doing work for the UN and they require all designs /software etc to be open. The particular need is for a SBC for data capture of water flows including a gprs modem to transmit the data to a central data storage / billing system. regards, Richard Hayes 0414 618 425 begin:vcard fn:Richard Hayes n:Hayes;Richard org:Nada Marketing adr:;;PO Box 12 ;Gordon;NSW;2072;Australia email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel;work:+(61) 2 8669 9835 tel;fax:+(61) 2 9327 4908 tel;home:+(61) 2 9436 0121 tel;cell:0414 618 425 x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://www.nada.com.au version:2.1 end:vcard -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] Build Instructions for rt61 driver
I bought a D-Link Wireless G Desktop Adapter, DWL-G510. My understanding is that it works with the above driver. I downloaded the relevant tarball from the Ralink site and am trying to follow the build instructions in the unpacked README. Here are the last 2 steps for a 2.6 kernel as set out in the README: 6 $dos2unix rt61sta.dat $cp rt61sta.dat /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat # !!!check if it is a binary file before loading !!! 7 $load ... #[kernel 2.6] #$/sbin/insmod rt61.ko #$/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up I have 2 questions: 1. I ran dos2unix with the file rt61sta.dat and then checked the properties of the file. The type is shown as MPEG video. I don't understand enough about these things to know whether the file is actually a binary file. How do I get a conclusive answer to that? 2. After the module has been loaded, I'm told to issue the ifconfig command with YOUR_IP. I know that my modem treats my computer as 10.1.1.3. Is that what I'm to substitute for YOUR_IP?

If you are using Debian or a Debian based distro, you may be better off letting module assistant take care of everything for you. I have had success in the past using Debian, just fire up m-a (as root) and select the driver you want. I believe Fedora and Mandriva have something similar too, but I am not familiar with them. From what I have heard, the ralink drivers are soon to be included in the kernel, something to look forward to.

You need a different IP per device, if 10.1.1.3 is your ethernet card, then you need something else for wireless. Most of the time I just let network assistant take care of all that, but if that is not working I would bring up the new device ie ifconfig eth1 up and then do a scan with iwlist scanning. The wireless card may also be wlan0, do an ifconfig -a to see what is around. Make sure you have the wireless tools installed too. Rather than going through all the ifconfig iwconfig stuff, get network manager to do the grunt work for you.
