[LUGSB] LUGSB Meeting This Thursday

Finally!
After a month of dealing with Student Accounts, LUGSB is ready for a first meeting. We have reserved room 2311 (Wireless Seminar room), thanks to Prof. Zadok, and so there will be a meeting this Thursday at 7:00 PM. Dan will be giving a talk on MythTV, and if you would like to have Linux installed in your machine, bring it on down. For more info on MythTV check out www.mythtv.org.
I would advise that anyone who would like Linux installed on their machines to back up important data, just in case. ;-) If you are planning on bringing your desktop, make sure to notify Dan at dpanzell at ic.sunysb.edu so that he can bring a monitor along (unless of course you wouldn't mind bringing one yourself).
Anyway, hope to see everyone there.
Renan

Hey, I just got linux at the last meeting and I asked then how exactly I
could access my friends computer on the network so I could get his
shared files. In windows I just used backslashing...I know I was told
acouple of methods but I didn't quite remember them well enough. If
anyone can help me out with this one it would be great. thanks.

If you're using the Gnome desktop, double click the "Computer" icon, then
double click "Networks", or select "Network servers" from the Applications
menu.
If you're using KDE, wait for someone else to reply :)

Hello Everyone,
I have a Linksys WPC11 Version 3 card PCMCIA card on
an IBM Thinkpad T20 laptop. I'm using Debian testing
with a 2.6.8 kernel image (not compiled myself). I'm
specifically having problems with setting up the
prism54 driver that comes with that kernel. Is prism54
driver a replacement for prism2 drivers?
I've gotten wireless to work with Debian
testing using the orinoco, orinoco_cs, and hermes
kernel modules before, but I can't even do that now
after various config changes. I want to use the
prism54 and hostap drivers though because I want to
run monitor mode and run kismet, gps, etc and orinoco
doesn't do that for me. My problem is the device eth1
is not even getting created so when I do ifconfig -a
there is no eth1.
I read up that you have to place a driver isl3890 in
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware. I downloaded that file, and
added an entry for eth1 in my /etc/network/interfaces
file. I've also manually added an entry in the fstab,
but don't know if that was done right. I've also tried
compiling the 2.6.8 kernel source myself because I
thought this might solve my problems, but still no
luck.
Can anyone shed any light on the situation?
Thanks,
David

Hi people
I signed up for this list a long time ago and then filtered it away
somewhere and forgot all about it...
So basically I'm new... When is the next meeting? I wanna finally attend one
after 2 years on the list.
Oh and David i'm not familiar with laptop wireless cards but in general when
you try to add the prism54 mod to your kernel you have to do someting like:
make clean modules
make install
depmod -a
as root, anyway i'm sure it's in the readme,
use lsmod to check if your module's in there.
and what did you put in fstab? this is for file systems not network
cards...
hope this helped (and i'm not too wrong)
Alex
