Jan 25 20:48:41 -->	glogo (~chatzilla@71.93.83.147) has joined #blag
Jan 25 20:48:46 <glogo>	hi
Jan 25 20:49:47 *	glogo what has she been doing?
Jan 25 20:50:17 *	glogo blagged the laptop and loaded all kinds of goodies
Jan 25 20:50:24 <glogo>	It was so easy.
Jan 25 20:50:55 <glogo>	At this point no more windoze but probly have to reload it again sometime.
Jan 25 20:51:03 *	glogo doesn't want to tho.
Jan 25 20:51:25 <glogo>	So, I am doing a webdev project. Very small but really nasty cross browser issues.
Jan 25 20:51:36 <glogo>	Anybody know if I can load netscape under blag?
Jan 25 20:52:24 <glogo>	Found a really cool thing. I mean, nobody here is probably going to go for it, unless you are making a website and need it .
Jan 25 20:52:42 <glogo>	But this guy in Brazil found a way to load IE for Linux.
Jan 25 20:53:09 <glogo>	It was so easy to load and works great. So, that takes care of IE 5, 5.5 and 6.
Jan 25 20:53:24 <glogo>	He also found out how to load 7, but I'm saving that for another day.
Jan 25 20:53:55 <glogo>	So, what do I have? Moz, FF, IE x 3, Opera...
Jan 25 20:54:09 <glogo>	Then I loaded KDE so I could look at everything in Konqueror.
Jan 25 20:54:31 <glogo>	I heard that the Mac browser Safari is based on the Konqueror engine.
Jan 25 20:55:00 <glogo>	So, that is as much as I could do today. but I wanted to try to load Netscape
Jan 25 20:55:43 <glogo>	So, if anyone knows that it is definitely (not) possible, would appreciate to hear about it
Jan 25 20:56:19 <glogo>	I found one website with a download, but it only mentions redhat, no fedora. Do you suppose that is a generic reference? (RH)
Jan 25 20:56:50 <glogo>	Well, here I am typing away. guess I could have just posted to forum.
Jan 25 20:56:54 <glogo>	Which I might do.
Jan 25 20:57:00 <glogo>	But, anyway, Hello. 
Jan 25 20:57:06 *	glogo is in Reno still.
Jan 25 20:57:14 <jebba>	netscape3 is in the repo, i believe
Jan 25 20:57:18 <jebba>	that's ancient stuff though.
Jan 25 20:57:27 <jebba>	good to "see" you, btw
Jan 25 20:57:27 <glogo>	wow, hi jebba 
Jan 25 20:57:34 <glogo>	same, same to you
Jan 25 20:57:39 <jebba>	safari is based on konqueror bits
Jan 25 20:57:49 <jebba>	khtml
Jan 25 20:57:49 <glogo>	yeah, that's what I gather
Jan 25 20:57:53 <glogo>	k?
Jan 25 20:58:08 <jebba>	kde=khtml
Jan 25 20:58:12 <jebba>	konqueror bits
Jan 25 20:58:30 <glogo>	okay. Well, ah so...
Jan 25 20:58:50 <glogo>	Well, I found this site and downloaded this tar.gz
Jan 25 20:59:11 <jebba>	ah, a netscape.tar.gz is probably some ancient stuff...
Jan 25 20:59:15 <glogo>	netscape-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz
Jan 25 20:59:24 <jebba>	i wouldn't touch it ;)
Jan 25 20:59:29 <glogo>	righto
Jan 25 20:59:38 <jebba>	apt-get install netscape3
Jan 25 20:59:47 <glogo>	ah, okay, gotcha
Jan 25 20:59:52 <jebba>	that's all you need if you want it. but again, it's so ancient, no one is using it
Jan 25 21:00:19 <glogo>	well, that's the thing. do you suppose there is a way to load a newer one?
Jan 25 21:00:37 *	glogo does not want to have to boot windos again
Jan 25 21:00:39 <jebba>	i didn't know there was a newer one
Jan 25 21:00:48 <jebba>	it's what firefox is, basically.
Jan 25 21:00:52 <glogo>	oh, sorry, mixed up terms
Jan 25 21:00:55 <jebba>	or seamonkey  (what was mozilla)
Jan 25 21:00:58 <glogo>	I actually mean the navigator
Jan 25 21:01:20 <jebba>	ya, the latest iteration of navigator is seamonkey  
Jan 25 21:01:32 <glogo>	well, nav 7 under windows sure as heck does not render the page the same as any of the above
Jan 25 21:01:38 <glogo>	In my experience
Jan 25 21:01:39 <jebba>	nav 7?
Jan 25 21:01:40 <jebba>	hmm.
Jan 25 21:01:42 <glogo>	um
Jan 25 21:01:51 <glogo>	I don't know. Maybe mixed up here.
Jan 25 21:02:01 <glogo>	too much late night work on this darned project
Jan 25 21:02:31 <jebba>	i'd just focus on MSIE and firefox/seamonkey  and khtml (konq safari) and you basically have it covered.
Jan 25 21:03:16 <jebba>	ah, i guess there still is a netscape release that's not free.  Odd.
Jan 25 21:03:27 <glogo>	yeah, well, there were some quirks in nav. but my system bombed finally and I just decided to get rid of the 
Jan 25 21:03:33 <glogo>	windows finally
Jan 25 21:03:49 <glogo>	Um, I don't know, I guess it came with my laptop
Jan 25 21:04:00 <glogo>	I never bothered about it too much.
Jan 25 21:04:04 <jebba>	well its definitely fallen into some serious obscurity.   AOL may still be using it, if anyone actually.
Jan 25 21:04:24 <glogo>	Well, I think I am going to just try to do as you say and not worry too much about it.
Jan 25 21:05:01 *	glogo spent hours trying to fix quirks of nav lately
Jan 25 21:05:17 <glogo>	all in the great scheme of things a learning experience
Jan 25 21:05:24 <glogo>	Btw, I really do love this distro.
Jan 25 21:05:32 <glogo>	It just keeps getting better and easier to work with.
Jan 25 21:05:32 <jebba>	thx :)
Jan 25 21:05:40 <glogo>	THANKS to you!
Jan 25 21:05:58 <jebba>	np....
Jan 25 21:06:24 <glogo>	You're just saying that. You spend hours and hours and weeks etc.
Jan 25 21:06:52 <glogo>	Anyway. Okay. Seamonkey it is. Um, if i want to use the Konqueror, do I have to end the session?
Jan 25 21:07:29 <glogo>	Guess it is not quite as bad as rebooting
Jan 25 21:08:00 <jebba>	you can just `apt-get install konqueror`  and then run it.
Jan 25 21:08:16 <jebba>	it'll take awhile to launch and huge a big chunk of RAM though since it will load all the KDE libraries too
Jan 25 21:08:28 <glogo>	um. I did that. I mean I apt-getted kdebase etc.
Jan 25 21:08:28 <jebba>	it'll have to install a whole bunch of other KDE dependencies too
Jan 25 21:08:36 <glogo>	um, oh no, I did it in synaptic
Jan 25 21:08:43 <jebba>	just apt-get konqueror will get what you need.
Jan 25 21:08:50 <jebba>	synaptic=apt-get basically
Jan 25 21:08:59 <glogo>	ah, okay, then I can unistall kdebase?
Jan 25 21:09:05 <glogo>	No, I think it needs all that stuff
Jan 25 21:09:09 <jebba>	no, you need kdebase for konqueror
Jan 25 21:09:15 <jebba>	well, i'd assume
Jan 25 21:09:26 <glogo>	Well, in gnome, when you try to open kde from the apps menu, nothing happens
Jan 25 21:09:31 <jebba>	if you install konqueror, just type konqueror.
Jan 25 21:09:40 <glogo>	so, I guess over the command line, yeah
Jan 25 21:10:13 <glogo>	kool
Jan 25 21:10:13 <jebba>	you don't "open kde" you just run konqueror.  It should appear in the menu too, but i'm not certain.
Jan 25 21:10:14 <glogo>	it works.
Jan 25 21:10:32 <glogo>	yeah, it's in the ui, but it doesnt open anything.
Jan 25 21:10:41 <glogo>	but that's okay. long as it works somehow.
Jan 25 21:10:45 <jebba>	ok
Jan 25 21:11:44 <glogo>	great
Jan 25 21:12:02 <glogo>	That pretty much covers all the bases
Jan 25 21:12:35 <glogo>	Btw, anyone know why in the chatzilla and in FF you type along and suddenly the window is not active?
Jan 25 21:12:44 <glogo>	Or the typing jumps to another position?
Jan 25 21:12:53 <glogo>	the cursor I mean.
Jan 25 21:13:04 <glogo>	Well, maybe that's a FF issue.
Jan 25 21:13:11 <jebba>	1 sec
Jan 25 21:13:17 <glogo>	But one thing is strange. It's this deer park.
Jan 25 21:13:35 *	glogo tried to load a different theme, but it won't load.
Jan 25 21:15:03 <jebba>	you working on a laptop with a touchpad?  that can cause the cursor to jump...
Jan 25 21:15:13 <glogo>	yeah,
Jan 25 21:15:25 <glogo>	this is probably when you brush up against it?
Jan 25 21:15:37 <glogo>	it's kind of a pain
Jan 25 21:16:20 <jebba>	ya, when you brush the trackpad, it moves the mouse....
Jan 25 21:16:26 <glogo>	I would even love to be able to deactivate it briefly.
Jan 25 21:16:52 *	glogo has an external mouse. never use the touch pad
Jan 25 21:17:18 <glogo>	Actually, I almost never use it. I find it to constricting.
Jan 25 21:17:43 <jebba>	ya, you can disable it. I don't know how offhand, actually.  Sounds like  a  stevo32  question  ;)
Jan 25 21:17:54 <glogo>	Do you think I could? Great!
Jan 25 21:18:07 <glogo>	It's really drain. Just bugs me.
Jan 25 21:18:12 <jebba>	ya, you certainly can
Jan 25 21:18:18 <glogo>	kool
Jan 25 21:18:36 <glogo>	But that is actually the least of my worries.
Jan 25 21:18:49 <glogo>	I have as yet found a way to get this broadcom wifi working.
Jan 25 21:19:05 *	glogo tried ndiswrapper and fxcutter-butter-whatter.
Jan 25 21:19:11 <glogo>	none of it worked.
Jan 25 21:19:14 <jebba>	skip ndiswrapper
Jan 25 21:19:27 <glogo>	yeah, that's what I figured
Jan 25 21:19:54 <jebba>	the bwcutter or whatever it is should work though, assuming you have the "right" card
Jan 25 21:20:11 <jebba>	and put the firmware in the right place  /MAKE SURE YOUR CARD IS ON/  and voila
Jan 25 21:20:42 <jebba>	lots of times laptops have a switch to turn off wifi, people spend all day working on wifi, just to found out the switch was turned off!
Jan 25 21:20:54 <jebba>	don't complicate things with ndiswrapper as it can be done without it
Jan 25 21:20:59 <glogo>	lol
Jan 25 21:21:07 <glogo>	yeah, I did that once too.
Jan 25 21:21:11 <jebba>	(well, assuming you have a compatible broadcom, but i think they "all" are now)
Jan 25 21:21:14 <glogo>	But, that was in windows.
Jan 25 21:21:37 <glogo>	Well, You know. I don't know. I downloaded the latest driver from hip
Jan 25 21:21:38 <glogo>	hp
Jan 25 21:22:00 <glogo>	and on the web there are plenty who have this one working in ix
Jan 25 21:22:04 <glogo>	4318 
Jan 25 21:22:16 <glogo>	So, eventually, it should work.
Jan 25 21:22:35 <glogo>	Nothing happens when i try to turn on the hardware, tho.
Jan 25 21:22:56 <glogo>	Once I got it that far that the little blue light came on, but it still did not want to work.
Jan 25 21:23:06 <glogo>	That was the last time I loaded 
Jan 25 21:23:13 *	glogo has reblagged since.
Jan 25 21:23:14 <jebba>	well, if you have it now i could help you.
Jan 25 21:23:25 <glogo>	do you have time?
Jan 25 21:23:27 <jebba>	re fwcutter the thing, if you want those bits...
Jan 25 21:23:29 <glogo>	that would be great
Jan 25 21:23:35 <jebba>	well, we could give it a shot now.
Jan 25 21:23:39 <jebba>	should be quick actually ;)
Jan 25 21:23:50 <glogo>	well, listen. I have this exe file with the driver.
Jan 25 21:23:58 <glogo>	let me see. It is here somewhere.
Jan 25 21:24:09 <glogo>	I don't know which one it is, tho.. darn
Jan 25 21:24:28 <glogo>	oh rats. I'll just go to the hp site and get the latest one.
Jan 25 21:24:36 <jebba>	read this file:
Jan 25 21:24:38 <jebba>	 /usr/share/doc/bcm43xx-fwcutter-005/README.Fedora
Jan 25 21:24:39 <jebba>	and do that
Jan 25 21:25:06 <glogo>	okay
Jan 25 21:25:53 <jebba>	(note this ain't free software, yada yada)
Jan 25 21:26:39 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 21:30:07 <glogo>	no such file
Jan 25 21:30:22 <glogo>	okay, looking it up.
Jan 25 21:30:47 <jebba>	part of this package bcm43xx-fwcutter
Jan 25 21:31:20 <glogo>	oh, can I just apt-get that?
Jan 25 21:31:50 *	glogo searching
Jan 25 21:32:45 <glogo>	it seems I have it installed already, but I don't see the doc on it.
Jan 25 21:34:13 <glogo>	it was version 4....
Jan 25 21:34:16 <glogo>	will that work too?
Jan 25 21:34:37 *	glogo found the doc.
Jan 25 21:35:46 <glogo>	btw jebba, I did all sorts of stuff with that ndiswrapper and modprobe and all yesterday. Do I have to clear out any of these directories first?
Jan 25 21:36:25 <jebba>	well, you'll want to remove it from /etc/modprobe.conf if it's htere.
Jan 25 21:36:34 <glogo>	okay...
Jan 25 21:36:36 <glogo>	let me see.
Jan 25 21:36:38 <jebba>	not sure what version 4 you're talking about.  Is this blag 50k or 60k?
Jan 25 21:36:49 <glogo>	bcm etc. 004...
Jan 25 21:36:56 <glogo>	not 005
Jan 25 21:36:56 <jebba>	you could also `/sbin/lsmod`  and see if any ndiswrapper stuff is in there
Jan 25 21:37:04 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 21:37:11 <jebba>	50k or 60k?
Jan 25 21:37:20 <glogo>	50k
Jan 25 21:37:38 <jebba>	should be fine
Jan 25 21:37:49 <glogo>	k , what am I looking for in lsmod?
Jan 25 21:38:20 <glogo>	bcm43xx is there.
Jan 25 21:39:04 <glogo>	it's in modprobe.conf too.
Jan 25 21:39:40 <jebba>	you got anything in /lib/firmware?
Jan 25 21:40:00 <jebba>	you're looking to make sure no ndiswrapper stuff is there and it sounds like it's not
Jan 25 21:40:06 <glogo>	um. I was just going to cut that line out of modprobe.conf. Can I do that?
Jan 25 21:40:32 <jebba>	cut what line out?
Jan 25 21:40:48 <glogo>	alias eth1 bcm43xx etc
Jan 25 21:41:00 <jebba>	no...
Jan 25 21:41:03 <jebba>	that's the one you want...
Jan 25 21:41:17 <jebba>	bcm43xx is your wireless card driver
Jan 25 21:41:18 <glogo>	okay.
Jan 25 21:41:22 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 21:41:25 <jebba>	you got anything in /lib/firmware?
Jan 25 21:41:33 <glogo>	1 sec
Jan 25 21:41:54 <glogo>	no nothing
Jan 25 21:42:36 <jebba>	ok, then do the fwcutter thing as listed in the READMEs
Jan 25 21:43:05 <glogo>	um, do you think I can use just any bcmwl5? or should I get the last one.?
Jan 25 21:43:19 <jebba>	uh, not sure.
Jan 25 21:43:25 <jebba>	check the READMEs....
Jan 25 21:43:35 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 21:45:56 <glogo>	it says it should not matter that much which one I use...
Jan 25 21:46:03 <jebba>	ok
Jan 25 21:46:24 *	glogo looking for the disc with the old driver on it.
Jan 25 21:51:26 <glogo>	okay, extracted to lib/firmware...
Jan 25 21:52:39 <jebba>	ok.
Jan 25 21:52:47 <jebba>	try:
Jan 25 21:52:53 <jebba>	(instead of rebooting):
Jan 25 21:52:58 <jebba>	 /sbin/rmmod bcm43xx
Jan 25 21:53:02 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 21:53:05 <jebba>	 then:
Jan 25 21:53:07 <glogo>	as root?
Jan 25 21:53:09 <jebba>	ya
Jan 25 21:53:13 <jebba>	then:
Jan 25 21:53:19 <jebba>	 /sbin/modprobe bcm43xx
Jan 25 21:53:29 <jebba>	then:    iwconfig eth1
Jan 25 21:53:36 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 21:53:39 <glogo>	it went 
Jan 25 21:53:44 <glogo>	one moment
Jan 25 21:53:53 <--	ewl has quit (Quit: I've got to go...)

Jan 25 21:55:04 <glogo>	I got that the last time I went through this, too...
Jan 25 21:55:05 <glogo>	sadly.
Jan 25 21:55:20 <glogo>	Which is not to say all hope is lost.
Jan 25 21:55:36 <jebba>	that doesn't matter at all actually.
Jan 25 21:55:42 <glogo>	great.
Jan 25 21:55:47 <jebba>	so? 
Jan 25 21:55:51 <jebba>	 iwconfig eth1    ?
Jan 25 21:55:53 <glogo>	No little blue light.
Jan 25 21:56:07 <glogo>	ja, that is what I just did.
Jan 25 21:56:13 <jebba>	and nothingin?
Jan 25 21:56:18 <glogo>	no light.
Jan 25 21:56:26 <jebba>	well, i meant from        iwconfig eth1
Jan 25 21:56:33 *	glogo punches the button again
Jan 25 21:56:44 <jebba>	do what i say, not what you think  ;)
Jan 25 21:56:44 <glogo>	yeah, It told me that it might be broken.
Jan 25 21:56:49 <jebba>	that's it?
Jan 25 21:56:53 <glogo>	um
Jan 25 21:56:55 <glogo>	okay,
Jan 25 21:57:04 *	glogo is willing to do anything you say...
Jan 25 21:57:17 <jebba>	well, i meant from        iwconfig eth1
Jan 25 21:57:37 <glogo>	should I flood?

Jan 25 21:58:10 <jebba>	ok. looks ok.
Jan 25 21:58:16 <jebba>	so, what's the ESSID of your network?
Jan 25 21:58:23 <glogo>	ESSID?
Jan 25 21:58:28 <glogo>	got me...
Jan 25 21:58:37 <jebba>	the "network name" or sometihng.  Well, what's the wireless device you connect to?
Jan 25 21:58:43 <jebba>	like "linksys" or something.
Jan 25 21:58:46 <glogo>	um. uncinus... or somethign
Jan 25 21:59:01 <weyasey_Away>	do iwlist eth1 scan
Jan 25 21:59:03 <glogo>	pretty sure it's uncinus
Jan 25 21:59:05 <jebba>	uncinus?  huh? that the ESSID or the name of the hardware or what?
Jan 25 21:59:10 <jebba>	thanks weyasey_Away 
Jan 25 21:59:12 <jebba>	run this:
Jan 25 21:59:16 <jebba>	 /sbin/iwlist eth1 scan
Jan 25 21:59:17 <glogo>	no, the guy who set it up is polish
Jan 25 21:59:21 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 21:59:48 <glogo>	eth1      Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device
Jan 25 22:00:14 <jebba>	ok. you may have some other cruft going. Run this:
Jan 25 22:00:19 <jebba>	 /sbin/ifdown eth1
Jan 25 22:00:23 <jebba>	 /sbin/ifup eth1
Jan 25 22:00:24 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 22:00:46 <jebba>	(also, is this the computer you're on right now or another one?  Cuz we may lose you if it's this one!)
Jan 25 22:01:17 <glogo>	Determining IP information for eth1... failed; no link present.  Check cable?
Jan 25 22:01:26 <glogo>	no, the router is on another machine.
Jan 25 22:01:43 <glogo>	this is the same message I have gotten a hundred or so times before.
Jan 25 22:01:44 <jebba>	the router?  I mean which machine has the wifi card?
Jan 25 22:01:54 <glogo>	wifi? here on the laptop?
Jan 25 22:02:20 <glogo>	the wireless router is this airforce one thing on a pc in the other room
Jan 25 22:02:22 <jebba>	ok. i think i get you now.
Jan 25 22:02:47 <jebba>	Your eth1 isn't set up as wireless.  Edit this file:  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
Jan 25 22:02:52 <jebba>	and make sure there is a line:
Jan 25 22:02:54 <jebba>	TYPE=Wireless
Jan 25 22:03:25 <jebba>	If it says "TYPE=Ethernet" change that to "Wireless"  (there are GUI ways to do this, but i don't use them so i don't know them, sorry)
Jan 25 22:04:05 <glogo>	file does not exist...
Jan 25 22:04:14 <glogo>	should I copy eth0 and make a new one?
Jan 25 22:04:47 <glogo>	It should exist tho. or maybe not. I was calling the alias wlan0 last time I tried this...
Jan 25 22:05:20 <jebba>	wait.
Jan 25 22:05:23 <glogo>	ah, I am editing the other file... wlan0
Jan 25 22:05:27 <jebba>	did you:
Jan 25 22:05:34 <jebba>	 /sbin/ifup eth1             ?
Jan 25 22:05:48 <glogo>	It already says type wireless tho.
Jan 25 22:06:01 <glogo>	I did that in the network gui yesterday.
Jan 25 22:06:04 <jebba>	please don't get ahead of me.
Jan 25 22:06:11 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 22:06:17 <jebba>	i'm gonna be mean: don't think, do what i say
Jan 25 22:06:21 <glogo>	yes, I did that already.
Jan 25 22:06:24 <jebba>	this is getting very confusing for me to follow
Jan 25 22:06:33 <glogo>	that is when it said that it could not find the 'cable'.
Jan 25 22:06:50 <glogo>	okay 
Jan 25 22:07:04 <glogo>	I did ifdown then ifup. 
Jan 25 22:07:22 <glogo>	like you said, then it returned that there is no such thing... hang on.
Jan 25 22:07:23 <jebba>	and it said "no cable" basically.  If it said that, there has to be a:
Jan 25 22:07:31 <jebba>	 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
Jan 25 22:07:40 <glogo>	right, that is what it is saying for the last month
Jan 25 22:07:50 <glogo>	ah, but there isn't
Jan 25 22:07:56 <jebba>	ok
Jan 25 22:07:58 <jebba>	then:
Jan 25 22:08:07 <jebba>	mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wifi0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
Jan 25 22:08:14 <jebba>	then gimme the output of:
Jan 25 22:08:18 <jebba>	cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
Jan 25 22:08:29 <glogo>	um if I do that will I lose eth0?
Jan 25 22:08:36 <jebba>	no
Jan 25 22:08:37 <glogo>	cuz we're chatting on eth0 right now.
Jan 25 22:08:46 <jebba>	you're just touching wifi0
Jan 25 22:08:50 <glogo>	oh, doees mv just copy then?
Jan 25 22:08:54 <jebba>	this isn't starting/stopping anything
Jan 25 22:09:02 <jebba>	mv "moves"  (renames)
Jan 25 22:09:11 <glogo>	no. I think eth0 is the hard cable.
Jan 25 22:09:24 <jebba>	well, I didn't say eth0 anywhere above.
Jan 25 22:09:29 <jebba>	i said wifi0 and eth1
Jan 25 22:09:33 <glogo>	sorry jebba,
Jan 25 22:09:38 <glogo>	this is really confusing to me...
Jan 25 22:09:44 <jebba>	that's fine
Jan 25 22:09:44 *	glogo takes a deep breath.
Jan 25 22:09:50 <jebba>	just do what i say and dont' think about it ;)
Jan 25 22:09:56 <glogo>	okay.
Jan 25 22:10:51 <jebba>	Recap (after the discussion...):
Jan 25 22:10:55 <jebba>	mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wifi0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
Jan 25 22:10:58 <jebba>	cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
Jan 25 22:11:09 <glogo>	it can't find the file. hang on
Jan 25 22:11:29 <jebba>	my bad: correctoin:
Jan 25 22:11:34 <jebba>	mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
Jan 25 22:11:53 <jebba>	(if it can't find the file or you get an error, just report the error or whatever, don't try to "fix" it )
Jan 25 22:12:47 <glogo>	it seems to have worked
Jan 25 22:12:52 <jebba>	cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
Jan 25 22:13:01 <jebba>	and paste here please  (the output of `cat....`
Jan 25 22:13:12 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 22:13:29 <glogo>	ah, here in chat client... wait
Jan 25 22:13:34 <glogo>	cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
Jan 25 22:13:44 <glogo>	no, not like that. um
Jan 25 22:14:31 <glogo>	 Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
Jan 25 22:14:32 <glogo>	# for the documentation of these parameters.
Jan 25 22:14:32 <jebba>	you can highlight it with the mouse then "center click" in xchat's input line to paste it here.

Jan 25 22:15:14 <jebba>	ok, the CHANNEL=1 thing is the only thing that ain't perfect.
Jan 25 22:15:28 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 22:15:59 <jebba>	anyway, for kicks do this.  And if you lose 'net connectivity, run these commands to come back here (these are the "recovery commands" you can note.  A reboot will do the same):
Jan 25 22:16:03 <jebba>	 /sbin/ifdown eth1
Jan 25 22:16:08 <jebba>	 /sbin/ifdown eth0
Jan 25 22:16:12 <jebba>	 /sbin/ifup eth0
Jan 25 22:16:39 <jebba>	Those three lines will shut down wifi, and bring up ethernet if you ever get dropped, ok?
Jan 25 22:16:58 <glogo>	okay.  um. I think this will lose my connection but what the hay....
Jan 25 22:17:13 <jebba>	If you run the above you won't lose the connection, it will bring it back.
Jan 25 22:17:20 <glogo>	ah,
Jan 25 22:17:21 <glogo>	okay.
Jan 25 22:17:34 <jebba>	These commands may drop your connection depending on how things are set up. But lets give it a try to see where you're at:
Jan 25 22:17:40 <jebba>	 /sbin/ifdown eth1
Jan 25 22:17:43 <jebba>	 /sbin/ifup eth1
Jan 25 22:17:51 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 22:18:20 <glogo>	eth1 failed, no link etc.
Jan 25 22:18:39 <jebba>	hmm, with Type=Wireless. Odd.
Jan 25 22:18:42 *	glogo doing eth0?
Jan 25 22:18:47 <jebba>	no, don't touch eth0
Jan 25 22:18:52 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 22:18:54 <jebba>	(unless you lose us here)
Jan 25 22:18:58 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 22:19:00 <jebba>	(then you do those 3 lines above)
Jan 25 22:19:06 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 22:19:35 <jebba>	have you rebooted this thing since you were doing ndiswrapper stuff?
Jan 25 22:19:43 <glogo>	ja
Jan 25 22:19:49 <glogo>	coupla times
Jan 25 22:19:57 <jebba>	and there's no ndiswapper stuff in /etc/modprobe.conf?
Jan 25 22:19:59 <glogo>	I think. Could try it again tho.
Jan 25 22:20:05 <weyasey_Away>	check the HWADDR

Jan 25 22:23:25 <jebba>	glogo, and you have files  in  /lib/firmware now, correct ?
Jan 25 22:23:33 <glogo>	correct
Jan 25 22:23:41 <glogo>	a whole bunch of them.

Jan 25 22:26:31 <jebba>	grab the one listed in the README
Jan 25 22:26:37 <glogo>	well, I guessed that already... lol...
Jan 25 22:26:46 <glogo>	there is none in the read me...
Jan 25 22:26:53 <glogo>	wait....
Jan 25 22:27:29 <jebba>	(note, this /could/ work out-of-the-box if broadcom would want it to...)
Jan 25 22:27:30 <glogo>	it says there arre links , but I can't find any...
Jan 25 22:27:32 <jebba>	check:
Jan 25 22:27:33 <jebba>	 /usr/share/doc/bcm43xx-fwcutter-005/README
Jan 25 22:27:48 <jebba>	see if there's an HP one or wherever your laptop is from
Jan 25 22:28:27 <glogo>	Jebba I have 004 of this, not 005 ...
Jan 25 22:28:40 <glogo>	maybe I could get the other fwcutter-005?
Jan 25 22:28:43 <jebba>	 /usr/share/doc/bcm43xx-fwcutter-004/README
Jan 25 22:29:02 <glogo>	right, well in that readme there is not much...
Jan 25 22:29:11 <glogo>	just a few sentences really.
Jan 25 22:29:36 <glogo>	How about this? Can I start thinking again jebba?
Jan 25 22:30:05 <glogo>	If I am allowed to think again, I could get the idea to try another trick...
Jan 25 22:30:21 <glogo>	but I am still in "do what jebba says" mode... lol
Jan 25 22:30:21 <jebba>	no. no thinking
Jan 25 22:30:26 <glogo>	LOL
Jan 25 22:30:28 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 22:30:47 <jebba>	cuz i don't think you're looking at the right file. Look at this one. It is certainly more than a few lines lone:
Jan 25 22:30:48 <jebba>	cuz i don't think you're looking at the right file. Look at this one. It is certainly more than a few lines long:

Jan 25 22:31:04 <jebba>	 /usr/share/doc/bcm43xx-fwcutter-004/README
Jan 25 22:32:06 <glogo>	okay!
Jan 25 22:33:44 <glogo>	Okay, sorry Jebba for thinking again, but I have the latest driver from HP on my desktop right now in an .exe file. In this file /usr/share/doc/bcm43xx-fwcutter-004/README, the same links are listed, but they are for older drivers.
Jan 25 22:34:07 <glogo>	Should we not just use the one I had? I had it installed yesterday on this machine, before I killed windows and it was working.
Jan 25 22:34:10 <jebba>	grab the older one listed in the README
Jan 25 22:34:15 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 22:35:42 <jebba>	you getting it?  si?
Jan 25 22:39:21 <glogo>	yes, there are 4 listed. I got three of them
Jan 25 22:39:27 <glogo>	just in case
Jan 25 22:40:16 <jebba>	huh?  4 listed?   I see only one from HP
Jan 25 22:40:25 <glogo>	no, there are four.
Jan 25 22:40:32 <glogo>	actually only 3 will download.
Jan 25 22:40:58 <jebba>	from hp?
Jan 25 22:41:16 <glogo>	ah sorry, from compaq,  it's a presario.
Jan 25 22:41:25 <glogo>	but I think it's the same company or something....
Jan 25 22:41:45 <jebba>	ok.
Jan 25 22:41:53 <jebba>	so run this:
Jan 25 22:42:00 <jebba>	rm -f /lib/firmware/*
Jan 25 22:42:02 <glogo>	anyway, we have 3 to play with...
Jan 25 22:42:05 <glogo>	okay,
Jan 25 22:42:07 <jebba>	then the fwcutter command.
Jan 25 22:42:22 <jebba>	then check that there are files in   /lib/firmware                 if so, then:
Jan 25 22:42:24 <glogo>	don't I have to unpack these or something?
Jan 25 22:42:27 <jebba>	 /sbin/ifdown eth1
Jan 25 22:42:34 <jebba>	 /sbin/ifup eth1
Jan 25 22:43:12 <glogo>	okay firmware is clean...
Jan 25 22:43:41 <glogo>	uh, like I said, you  have to have time...
Jan 25 22:44:27 <jebba>	firmware is clean?  You run the fwcutter on the files you downloaded and check /lib/firmware ?
Jan 25 22:44:57 <glogo>	um, I had to unpack them. it unpacked somewherein the wine folder. 
Jan 25 22:45:04 *	glogo went fishing...
Jan 25 22:45:16 <jebba>	wha?t//dafsadfa
Jan 25 22:45:32 <jebba>	you're running wine and unpacking these things and stuff?
Jan 25 22:45:34 <glogo>	.exe. don't I have to run that to unpack that stuff?
Jan 25 22:45:53 <glogo>	sorry. it's an exe. can I run the cutter on that too?
Jan 25 22:46:24 <jebba>	bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware  <FOO>           where <FOO> == the file you downloaded
Jan 25 22:46:36 <jebba>	don't do wine and all that stuff. please, don't do anything i don't say.
Jan 25 22:46:43 <glogo>	jebba, I'm really  nott smart about this... okay
Jan 25 22:46:48 <glogo>	hang on...
Jan 25 22:46:49 <jebba>	you don't have to be.
Jan 25 22:47:51 <glogo>	Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by bcm43xx-fwcutter.
Jan 25 22:47:53 <glogo>	I can't find the MD5sum c290b839df918d273f5c18c1480bb6ab :(
Jan 25 22:48:24 <glogo>	result of bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware /home/glogo/Desktop/sp28198.exe
Jan 25 22:49:37 <jebba>	try the other ones   (it /may/ be that you have to unpack these first in wine!  but lets stay together here)
Jan 25 22:50:07 <glogo>	everywhere on the web where it talks about doing this, you do it to the sys file....
Jan 25 22:50:15 <glogo>	sorry, can't stop my brain working.
Jan 25 22:51:46 <jebba>	ok.
Jan 25 22:51:58 <glogo>	same result on all files.
Jan 25 22:51:59 <jebba>	go ahead and extract and do it with the extracted file ;)
Jan 25 22:52:02 <jebba>	ok. Ya.
Jan 25 22:52:10 <glogo>	I think we will have to do that...
Jan 25 22:52:53 <jebba>	It's not that i'm right or know exactly everything, it just gets really hard for me to understand unless we're on the same page, ya know? :)  So if you go do sometihng and I don't know it then you do something I tell you to, we can get a bit twisted. ;)
Jan 25 22:53:52 <glogo>	I know. I'm okay with that, jebba 
Jan 25 22:54:04 <weyasey_Away>	sorry guys got to leave for bed....would love to know the results
Jan 25 22:54:10 <jebba>	ciao weyasey_Away  ;)
Jan 25 22:54:15 <glogo>	Okay. I unpacked it. How do I find this C:/?
Jan 25 22:54:23 <glogo>	by weyasey_Away  thanks
Jan 25 22:54:33 <jebba>	i know /nothing/ about wine.
Jan 25 22:54:37 <glogo>	okay.
Jan 25 22:54:41 <jebba>	i assume it has some directory in your homedir somewhere
Jan 25 22:54:51 <glogo>	ah, that could be  one sec
Jan 25 22:54:53 <jebba>	find /home/glogo -name "*bcm*sys"
Jan 25 22:54:55 <jebba>	 ?
Jan 25 22:55:03 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 22:55:49 <jebba>	(the company to curse all the while doing this is  "Broadcom"  ;)
Jan 25 22:56:29 <glogo>	getting there. one sec more
Jan 25 22:57:26 <glogo>	jessus, finally.
Jan 25 22:57:49 <jebba>	ya, just getting the right firmware is the whole battle, acutally.
Jan 25 22:58:00 <glogo>	flooding...
Jan 25 22:58:03 <jebba>	now if they allowed that to be free software, it could just come with the standard kernel....
Jan 25 22:58:12 <glogo>	right
Jan 25 22:58:16 <stevo32>	(!)
Jan 25 22:58:19 <glogo>	wanna see?
Jan 25 22:58:24 <glogo>	stevo32!!!!
Jan 25 22:58:27 <stevo32>	hi, i just got here. i've set this up before.
Jan 25 22:58:33 <glogo>	my dear... how are you?
Jan 25 22:58:44 <glogo>	great. we're floundering a bit...
Jan 25 22:58:48 <stevo32>	i used bcmsys5.dll (from memory. might not be correct, but was something like that)
Jan 25 22:58:48 <jebba>	stevo32, we're 99% there. I think she just got the .sys, needs to run fwcutter, then we're there.
Jan 25 22:59:06 <stevo32>	i'm great, just finished all my exams. how are you, glogo?
Jan 25 22:59:13 <jebba>	stevo32, wait a sec !  ;)
Jan 25 22:59:14 <glogo>	fwcutter is run already....
Jan 25 22:59:16 <glogo>	I'm okay.
Jan 25 22:59:17 <stevo32>	jebba, alright, sounds great :)
Jan 25 22:59:17 <jebba>	oh cool
Jan 25 22:59:32 <jebba>	ok, now:
Jan 25 22:59:39 <jebba>	 /sbin/ifdown eth1
Jan 25 22:59:41 <jebba>	 /sbin/ifup eth1
Jan 25 22:59:52 <jebba>	(and if you lose us, use the 3 magic lines way above)
Jan 25 22:59:57 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:00:46 <glogo>	blue light came on briefly. that's progress
Jan 25 23:00:50 <jebba>	ya, that's fine.
Jan 25 23:00:56 <glogo>	but it still can't find the 'cable'
Jan 25 23:00:58 <jebba>	it often just stays on if it finds a network.
Jan 25 23:01:00 <jebba>	ok. fine.
Jan 25 23:01:03 <jebba>	now:
Jan 25 23:01:08 <jebba>	 /sbin/iwlist eth1 scan
Jan 25 23:01:13 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:01:42 <glogo>	eth1      Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device
Jan 25 23:01:45 <glogo>	same as before
Jan 25 23:02:04 <glogo>	not quite there yet, I guess.
Jan 25 23:02:10 <jebba>	dmesg | tail -8           (gimme the output)
Jan 25 23:02:13 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:02:16 <jebba>	Oh, and did you hit any buttons or anything?
Jan 25 23:02:27 <glogo>	um, well, only after the fact.
Jan 25 23:02:43 <jebba>	after which fact?
Jan 25 23:03:00 <glogo>	after which fact that I can't stop being so stupid
Jan 25 23:03:14 <jebba>	heh
Jan 25 23:03:15 <jebba>	anyway:
Jan 25 23:03:17 <jebba>	dmesg | tail -8           (gimme the output)
Jan 25 23:04:50 <glogo>	sorry, was interupted.

Jan 25 23:08:08 *	glogo didn't touch it.

Jan 25 23:10:52 <glogo>	YEAH
Jan 25 23:11:00 <jebba>	ok
Jan 25 23:11:04 <glogo>	WOW
Jan 25 23:11:05 <stevo32>	let it keep on going....
Jan 25 23:11:09 <jebba>	basically, you're wireless card is working
Jan 25 23:11:12 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:11:14 <glogo>	wow
Jan 25 23:11:18 <glogo>	what a pain the behind.
Jan 25 23:11:21 <jebba>	the only trick now is getting on your local network
Jan 25 23:11:27 <glogo>	right
Jan 25 23:11:29 <jebba>	ya, blame broadcom
Jan 25 23:11:29 <glogo>	lol
Jan 25 23:11:32 <glogo>	more tricks
Jan 25 23:11:36 <glogo>	need them tricks
Jan 25 23:11:41 <glogo>	okay!
Jan 25 23:11:47 <jebba>	I'm curious about this though:
Jan 25 23:11:51 <jebba>	 /sbin/iwlist eth1 scan
Jan 25 23:11:54 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:12:25 <glogo>	eth1      Scan completed :

Jan 25 23:12:41 <glogo>	like I said, uncinus
Jan 25 23:12:49 <jebba>	ok. yep. that's your network.
Jan 25 23:12:55 <jebba>	anyway, you're pretty much good to go ;)
Jan 25 23:13:03 <glogo>	jesus, do you think it will work at boot?
Jan 25 23:13:06 <glogo>	like the other one?
Jan 25 23:13:18 <glogo>	wow, you are such a gold brick!
Jan 25 23:13:21 <jebba>	well, currently it's set to be disabled at boot
Jan 25 23:13:30 <glogo>	okay. How to change that?
Jan 25 23:13:32 <glogo>	please
Jan 25 23:14:17 <jebba>	ok. Well, there are a couple ways to go about this.
Jan 25 23:14:29 <glogo>	cuz I don't want to have to burst into the chat room every time I boot ...
Jan 25 23:14:43 <jebba>	you can fire up the `system-config-network` thing, and make settings/changes there. Or we can do it via text, which is the way I know.
Jan 25 23:15:11 <glogo>	right, well, let's do like you know.... whatayasay?
Jan 25 23:15:43 <jebba>	ok. change your  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1   to read only:
Jan 25 23:15:45 <jebba>	 DEVICE=eth1
Jan 25 23:15:45 <jebba>	ONBOOT=yes
Jan 25 23:15:45 <jebba>	BOOTPROTO=dhcp
Jan 25 23:15:45 <jebba>	TYPE=Wireless
Jan 25 23:15:54 <glogo>	which reminds me.. ah, okay
Jan 25 23:16:00 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:16:12 <jebba>	then you'll have to set the   eth0  to ONBOOT=no   (that will disable your ethernet)
Jan 25 23:16:21 <jebba>	so   eth0=ethernet and   eth1=wifi
Jan 25 23:16:31 <glogo>	that's okay. I can always enable it manually if I need to.
Jan 25 23:16:43 <jebba>	Basically, at any time you can  "/sbin/ifdown eth0" to turn off ethernet.
Jan 25 23:16:45 <jebba>	ya, etc.
Jan 25 23:16:56 <glogo>	right.
Jan 25 23:16:58 <jebba>	  ifdown/ifup eth0/eth1  depending on what you want up/down/
Jan 25 23:17:04 <glogo>	that's sounds straightforward
Jan 25 23:17:08 <glogo>	right.
Jan 25 23:17:10 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:17:13 <jebba>	it's best to ifdown things then ifup the one you want
Jan 25 23:17:21 <glogo>	just makes me really nervous, since this was such a bugger.
Jan 25 23:17:53 <glogo>	right, but it means the darn thing is working, right? Okay.... Wow!
Jan 25 23:17:56 <jebba>	basically you needed like a 500 byte freaking file from Broadcom which they think is too damn precious to allow to be free software.
Jan 25 23:17:59 <glogo>	like I was about to say.
Jan 25 23:18:10 <glogo>	right!
Jan 25 23:18:20 <jebba>	so now you can even test it. 
Jan 25 23:18:24 <jebba>	actually try this again:
Jan 25 23:18:30 <jebba>	 /sbin/ifdown eth1
Jan 25 23:18:33 <jebba>	 /sbin/ifup eth1
Jan 25 23:18:41 <glogo>	right
Jan 25 23:18:43 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:18:44 <jebba>	(maybe the cable thing will go away now that the light is on)
Jan 25 23:19:11 <jebba>	the way stevo32 and i usually do it, fwiw, is:
Jan 25 23:19:16 <glogo>	It killed it.
Jan 25 23:19:22 <jebba>	dhclient  eth1           ...
Jan 25 23:19:32 <glogo>	I guess you have to do the dhclient trick again.
Jan 25 23:19:34 <jebba>	or more elaborately, we do:
Jan 25 23:19:45 <jebba>	iwlist eth1 scan             to find which network we want
Jan 25 23:20:01 <jebba>	iwconfig eth1 essid  foooooo       (where fooooo is the polish name in your case)
Jan 25 23:20:06 <jebba>	dhclient eth1
Jan 25 23:20:06 <glogo>	dhclient fails
Jan 25 23:20:13 <jebba>	that's basically all that's doing.
Jan 25 23:20:30 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:20:36 <jebba>	iwconfig eth1 Uncinus                   (with upper U)
Jan 25 23:20:42 <jebba>	then you can even:
Jan 25 23:20:51 <jebba>	iwconfig eth1               to see if it's associated
Jan 25 23:21:20 <glogo>	hang on..
Jan 25 23:21:23 <glogo>	I got lost here.
Jan 25 23:21:28 <jebba>	sorry. ;)
Jan 25 23:21:31 <jebba>	iwconfig eth1 Uncinus                   (with upper U)
Jan 25 23:21:34 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:21:35 <jebba>	iwconfig eth1               to see if it's associated
Jan 25 23:21:46 <weyasey_Away>	 iwconfig eth1 essid Uncinus
Jan 25 23:21:57 <jebba>	weyasey_Away, is correct.
Jan 25 23:22:00 <jebba>	my line should read:
Jan 25 23:22:06 <jebba>	iwconfig eth1 essid Uncinus                   (with upper U)
Jan 25 23:22:07 <jebba>	thx
Jan 25 23:22:31 <glogo>	right, that does nothing....
Jan 25 23:22:57 <jebba>	ya, it doesn't "do" anything that comes back. It just sets the card to that network.
Jan 25 23:23:00 <jebba>	you can see it's results with:
Jan 25 23:23:06 <jebba>	iwconfig eth1               to see if it's associated

Jan 25 23:23:56 <glogo>	no little blue light.
Jan 25 23:24:03 <glogo>	I liked it better the last time.
Jan 25 23:24:05 <jebba>	ah, when did that disappear? ;)
Jan 25 23:24:18 <glogo>	when I ifdown=ed it.
Jan 25 23:24:43 <jebba>	ah, ok. just   do this to relight it:
Jan 25 23:24:45 <jebba>	dhclient eth1
Jan 25 23:24:54 <jebba>	iwconfig eth1 essid Uncinus                   (with upper U)
Jan 25 23:24:57 <jebba>	iwconfig eth1               to see if it's associated
Jan 25 23:25:02 <glogo>	did that, but it gave an error. let  me try one more time?
Jan 25 23:25:11 <jebba>	ya, do it anyway.
Jan 25 23:25:29 <jebba>	i'm actually doing it because it seems to activate your card, not to actually get a network address yet.
Jan 25 23:25:37 <glogo>	dhclient fails.
Jan 25 23:25:41 <jebba>	fine.
Jan 25 23:25:43 <jebba>	iwconfig eth1 essid Uncinus                   (with upper U)
Jan 25 23:25:46 <glogo>	why? It worked a few mins ago?
Jan 25 23:25:51 <jebba>	iwconfig eth1 essid Uncinus                   (with upper U)
Jan 25 23:25:55 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:25:59 <jebba>	(you got light on right?)
Jan 25 23:26:24 <glogo>	no light
Jan 25 23:26:41 *	glogo didn't punch the button either.
Jan 25 23:26:43 *	jebba goes slightly nuts
Jan 25 23:26:48 <jebba>	i think it's when you ifdown'd it.
Jan 25 23:26:48 <glogo>	right!
Jan 25 23:26:55 <glogo>	ya
Jan 25 23:26:57 <jebba>	lets remove the module and start agian ;)
Jan 25 23:26:59 <glogo>	like I said before.
Jan 25 23:27:06 <glogo>	oh gawd!
Jan 25 23:27:10 <glogo>	okay why not.
Jan 25 23:27:12 <jebba>	 /sbin/rmmod bcm43xx
Jan 25 23:27:19 <jebba>	 /sbin/modprobe bcm43xx
Jan 25 23:27:21 <glogo>	sheesh
Jan 25 23:27:31 <glogo>	brrrrrr
Jan 25 23:27:33 <jebba>	 dhclient eth1   (and light goes on at this point)
Jan 25 23:27:34 <glogo>	moment ....
Jan 25 23:28:05 <glogo>	right
Jan 25 23:28:08 <glogo>	light is on now.
Jan 25 23:28:16 <glogo>	no, it went off again
Jan 25 23:28:19 <glogo>	hangon.
Jan 25 23:28:29 <jebba>	hangon for what? what are you doign?  :)
Jan 25 23:28:39 <glogo>	dhclient
Jan 25 23:28:43 <jebba>	ah ok
Jan 25 23:28:43 <glogo>	but it does not work
Jan 25 23:28:44 <glogo>	still
Jan 25 23:29:01 <jebba>	ya, i actually don't expect it to. But is the light off now? 
Jan 25 23:29:06 <glogo>	yes
Jan 25 23:29:20 <jebba>	did it turn on when you did modprobe or when you did dhclient?
Jan 25 23:29:28 <glogo>	modprobe
Jan 25 23:29:37 <glogo>	then went right out
Jan 25 23:29:46 <glogo>	dhclient does nothing.
Jan 25 23:29:48 <glogo>	just fails
Jan 25 23:29:56 <jebba>	does  `iwlist eth1 scan`  give any output?
Jan 25 23:30:11 <glogo>	and why do I have to type /sbin/ in front of everything?
Jan 25 23:30:12 <jebba>	(like where it listed your network like before)
Jan 25 23:30:22 <glogo>	um?
Jan 25 23:30:24 <glogo>	what?
Jan 25 23:30:24 <jebba>	you don't necessarily have to if /sbin/ is in your path already
Jan 25 23:30:29 <jebba>	does  `iwlist eth1 scan`  give any output?
Jan 25 23:30:34 <glogo>	maybe not in my path huh?
Jan 25 23:30:37 <weyasey_Away>	jebba: depmod -a then reboot that should fix the problem
Jan 25 23:30:43 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:30:50 <glogo>	?
Jan 25 23:30:51 <jebba>	ok. do whatever weyasey_Away says now.
Jan 25 23:30:52 <jebba>	;)
Jan 25 23:30:58 *	jebba taps weyasey_Away 
Jan 25 23:30:58 <glogo>	lol
Jan 25 23:31:16 <glogo>	okay wheream I iwlist or depmod?
Jan 25 23:31:26 <jebba>	(though i don't necessarily think a reboot is needed).
Jan 25 23:31:37 <glogo>	depmod -a?
Jan 25 23:31:39 <jebba>	weyasey_Away, you want to do the network config steps?  The card is there and active 
Jan 25 23:31:45 <jebba>	glogo, sure   depmod -a
Jan 25 23:31:49 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:31:52 <weyasey_Away>	k
Jan 25 23:32:10 <jebba>	weyasey_Away, you know the GUI part of it?
Jan 25 23:32:17 <glogo>	it did something
Jan 25 23:32:22 <weyasey_Away>	no don't use gui
Jan 25 23:33:10 <glogo>	reboot?
Jan 25 23:33:14 <stevo32>	glogo, sure.
Jan 25 23:33:18 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:33:21 <glogo>	brb
Jan 25 23:33:24 <stevo32>	it'll make a 'clean' environment for when you come back.
Jan 25 23:33:24 <weyasey_Away>	k
Jan 25 23:33:31 <glogo>	ciao
Jan 25 23:33:47 <jebba>	ciao
Jan 25 23:33:56 <weyasey_Away>	ciao
Jan 25 23:34:02 <stevo32>	ciao
Jan 25 23:34:34 <stevo32>	(well? go on and quit already!)
Jan 25 23:34:35 <--	glogo (~chatzilla@71.93.83.147) has left #blag
Jan 25 23:34:38 <jebba>	i don't really think a reboot is necessary, but what the heck.   Perhaps NetworkManager would be the easiest way for glogo ?     I mean it finds networks, knows when you are on ethernet, etc....
Jan 25 23:34:53 <jebba>	chkconfig --add NetworkManager
Jan 25 23:34:54 <stevo32>	yeah, i'm going to suggest using that.
Jan 25 23:35:02 <jebba>	 /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
Jan 25 23:35:16 <jebba>	weyasey_Away, what you think? You used NM?
Jan 25 23:35:25 <jebba>	this is 50k, fwiw
Jan 25 23:35:32 <jebba>	weyasey_Away, may be faded....
Jan 25 23:35:40 <weyasey_Away>	no i don't but i hear it is easy for noobs
Jan 25 23:35:47 <jebba>	stevo32, you want to take over when she comes back with NM?
Jan 25 23:35:59 <stevo32>	sure, i'll tackle it.
Jan 25 23:36:09 <weyasey_Away>	k
Jan 25 23:36:13 <stevo32>	i've set up a bcm 43xx w/NM before, except, i didn't have any of these crazy issues.
Jan 25 23:36:22 <jebba>	ya, it's pretty easy. It annoys me a bit as it tends to hop a bit if there are other networks (breaking ssh connections), but i think it's fine here.
Jan 25 23:36:31 <jebba>	well, i don't think there really were any crazy issues.
Jan 25 23:36:32 <stevo32>	i was also physically in front of the machine ;)
Jan 25 23:36:45 <jebba>	we just downloaded a file and ran fwcutter on it. It just took 100 years to do it.
Jan 25 23:36:53 <stevo32>	mmm-hmm.
Jan 25 23:37:31 *	stevo32 waits & waits. i'm setting a deadline of midnight (local time) so that if it's not fixed by then, i'm going to bed ;)
Jan 25 23:37:54 <jebba>	like i think it's a "straightforward" bcm43xx or whatever, it's just a bit tough to get "going".  If you were in front of the box it wouldn't be so hard, ya know?
Jan 25 23:38:02 <stevo32>	yeah
Jan 25 23:38:09 <weyasey_Away>	tthat is what i said and it's now 4.45 am
Jan 25 23:38:31 <stevo32>	heh, i'm a regular for doing that sort of stuff too ;)
Jan 25 23:38:32 <jebba>	ya, i'm kinda tired now too.
Jan 25 23:38:42 <stevo32>	#blag yawns...
Jan 25 23:38:56 <weyasey_Away>	big yawns...from me
Jan 25 23:39:17 ---	weyasey_Away is now known as weyasey
Jan 25 23:40:23 <weyasey>	might as well join the battle ;)
Jan 25 23:40:33 <stevo32>	;)
Jan 25 23:40:49 -->	glogo (~chatzilla@71.93.83.147) has joined #blag
Jan 25 23:40:52 <glogo>	hi
Jan 25 23:40:54 <stevo32>	hi
Jan 25 23:40:56 <glogo>	hi
Jan 25 23:40:56 <weyasey>	hi
Jan 25 23:40:58 <glogo>	hi
Jan 25 23:41:06 <glogo>	okay
Jan 25 23:41:09 *	glogo takes a big breath
Jan 25 23:41:19 <stevo32>	so....did the light come on at any point during boot?
Jan 25 23:41:21 *	glogo not pushing any buttons yet
Jan 25 23:41:24 <glogo>	no
Jan 25 23:41:46 *	glogo doesnt' get it. it was working...
Jan 25 23:41:50 <stevo32>	glogo, chkconfig --add NetworkManager
Jan 25 23:41:54 <glogo>	k
Jan 25 23:41:57 <stevo32>	 /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
Jan 25 23:42:08 <stevo32>	a tray icon will appear. right click it and you should get a list of networks.
Jan 25 23:43:09 <glogo>	it says I have to be root.
Jan 25 23:43:14 <glogo>	moment...
Jan 25 23:43:17 <stevo32>	you do. run those commands as root.
Jan 25 23:44:13 <glogo>	light is on!
Jan 25 23:44:23 <glogo>	It says I'm connected!
Jan 25 23:44:35 <glogo>	nothing in the task bar tho.
Jan 25 23:44:40 <stevo32>	hmm.
Jan 25 23:44:47 <stevo32>	where did it say you were connected?
Jan 25 23:44:55 <glogo>	It flashed on the screen, a nice logo, for a few seconds.
Jan 25 23:45:04 <glogo>	up in the upper right
Jan 25 23:45:12 <glogo>	ah, it's up there.
Jan 25 23:45:58 <stevo32>	well, that should be it.
Jan 25 23:46:11 <stevo32>	that program will open at boot now.
Jan 25 23:47:00 <stevo32>	mmm-'kay?
Jan 25 23:48:02 Usage: PING <nick | channel>, CTCP pings nick or channel
Jan 25 23:49:20 <stevo32_>	whoops, i dropped out there for a minute. i may ping timeout.
Jan 25 23:49:47 <weyasey>	glogo: so you're all sorted now....paste the result of iwconfig eth1 
Jan 25 23:49:54 <stevo32>	she's not responding to pings...
Jan 25 23:50:11 <stevo32>	;)
Jan 25 23:50:12 <jebba>	well, ping probably hits her router not her
Jan 25 23:50:20 <stevo32>	nonono, /ctcp pings
Jan 25 23:50:22 <jebba>	ah
Jan 25 23:50:25 <stevo32>	through irc
Jan 25 23:50:35 <stevo32>	she probably pulled ethernet and threw a party ;)
Jan 25 23:50:41 <weyasey>	k
Jan 25 23:51:08 -->	glogo_ (~chatzilla@71.93.83.147) has joined #blag
Jan 25 23:51:09 <jebba>	well, if it switched from ether to wifi she'd probably have to quit/restart seamonkey
Jan 25 23:51:09 <glogo_>	hi
Jan 25 23:51:10 <jebba>	heh
Jan 25 23:51:16 <jebba>	hi
Jan 25 23:51:18 <stevo32>	hiya.
Jan 25 23:51:22 <stevo32>	on wireless now?
Jan 25 23:51:24 <stevo32>	all good?
Jan 25 23:51:25 <weyasey>	hi
Jan 25 23:51:27 <glogo_>	it seems I can't restart the network w/o crashing.
Jan 25 23:51:32 <glogo_>	no
Jan 25 23:51:32 <stevo32>	restart the network
Jan 25 23:51:33 <stevo32>	?
Jan 25 23:51:42 <stevo32>	and what crashes?
Jan 25 23:52:01 <glogo_>	well. I started the networkmanager, then I hit a button up there and everything just locked up.
Jan 25 23:52:07 *	jebba off to bed
Jan 25 23:52:12 <glogo_>	everything locks.
Jan 25 23:52:13 <stevo32>	disclaimer: i'm going to bed in 10 minutes whether this is fixed or not.
Jan 25 23:52:16 <glogo_>	bye jebba
Jan 25 23:52:21 <weyasey>	me too
Jan 25 23:52:23 <glogo_>	okay, np
Jan 25 23:52:29 <glogo_>	you guys are great 
Jan 25 23:52:31 <stevo32>	#blag is tired ;)
Jan 25 23:52:35 <glogo_>	me too.
Jan 25 23:52:38 <glogo_>	and hungry
Jan 25 23:52:43 <jebba>	glogo_, good luck. You really are just there... like with your finger an inch from the finish line ;)
Jan 25 23:52:44 <stevo32>	glogo_, well, can you connect via wireless /now/ ?
Jan 25 23:52:47 <jebba>	ciao for now though ;)
Jan 25 23:52:50 <weyasey>	remember you cannot use wifi and lan at the same time
Jan 25 23:52:57 <stevo32>	indeed, they don't mix.
Jan 25 23:53:01 <glogo_>	okay, run the manager again?
Jan 25 23:53:07 <stevo32>	is it not running right now?
Jan 25 23:53:17 <glogo_>	ah, that was the problem then?
Jan 25 23:53:24 <stevo32>	if not, yes, run it. /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start (as root)
Jan 25 23:53:25 <glogo_>	no not runningnow
Jan 25 23:53:32 <glogo_>	k
Jan 25 23:53:43 <glogo_>	then I should stop the eth0 at some point....
Jan 25 23:53:47 <stevo32>	nono
Jan 25 23:53:48 <glogo_>	right?
Jan 25 23:53:51 <glogo_>	k
Jan 25 23:53:55 <glogo_>	okay here goes
Jan 25 23:53:59 <stevo32>	is it started?
Jan 25 23:54:09 <stevo32>	when it is, run iwconfig and paste the results here.

Jan 25 23:56:22 <stevo32>	right click on it
Jan 25 23:56:31 *	stevo32 ought to have been clearer.
Jan 25 23:56:34 <glogo>	ya,
Jan 25 23:56:43 <glogo>	i got network info on it.
Jan 25 23:56:51 <stevo32>	ok, well, select your network
Jan 25 23:57:14 <glogo>	active connection is eth0 according to this, nothing to choose
Jan 25 23:57:24 <stevo32>	hit the killswitch.
Jan 25 23:57:38 <stevo32>	(the thing you use to activate your network)
Jan 25 23:57:44 <stevo32>	the physical button, that is
Jan 25 23:58:23 <stevo32>	damnit, she's not responding. i hope she didn't interpret 'killswitch' as the power button ;)
Jan 25 23:58:39 <weyasey>	me too
Jan 25 23:59:00 <weyasey>	i think you have to say what you mean
Jan 25 23:59:08 <weyasey>	or she gets confused
Jan 25 23:59:08 <stevo32>	yeah...............
Jan 25 23:59:25 <stevo32>	whatever, i'll deal with this for a bit longer. weyasey, ideas?
Jan 25 23:59:59 <weyasey>	i'm worried that lan is on when trying to use wifi
Jan 26 00:00:10 <stevo32>	i don't think it's an issue
Jan 26 00:00:17 <weyasey>	kk
Jan 26 00:00:38 <weyasey>	the card is not getting the essid
Jan 26 00:00:59 <stevo32>	the card isn't even turning on at this point, from the looks of things.
Jan 26 00:01:24 <weyasey>	seems to be a little flaky
Jan 26 00:01:34 <stevo32>	most things wireless are ;)
Jan 26 00:01:45 <weyasey>	yeah
Jan 26 00:02:07 <stevo32>	i said hit the killswitch 5 minutes ago. is she coming back?
Jan 26 00:02:38 <weyasey>	don't look like she is
Jan 26 00:03:05 <stevo32>	i'm going to go put the cat to bed, brush teeth, etc., let her know i'm just away at the moment if she comes back
Jan 26 00:03:23 <weyasey>	my ipw2200 is rock steady and works out the box
Jan 26 00:03:37 <weyasey>	will do
