TP-LINK usb wireless network card support
Hi there, I bought a new TP-LINK(tp-wn321G) 54M wireless USB network card today. And trying to make it work on my ibook. Now i've built madwifi module by compiling madwifi-source from debian unstable repo successfully. Thus, # modprobe ath_pci ath_hal: 0.9.14.9 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, REGOPS_FUNC) wlan: 0.8.6.0 (EXPERIMENTAL) ath_rate_sample: 1.2 ath_pci: 0.9.6.0 (EXPERIMENTAL) # lsmod |grep ath ath_pci95932 0 ath_rate_sample1 1 ath_pci wlan 172672 2 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample ath_hal 190368 2 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample Things seem okay for now. But when i try to bring up ath0, # ifconfig ath0 up ath0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device any thoughts? -- William -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'll give it a try if the Ubuntu Dapper Flight 4 PPC doesn't clear up my windfarn_91 problems. Their latest kernel update didn't do anything to solve my problem. Even though I forwarded [EMAIL PROTECTED] postings on the issue, I can't be sure that they picked up on the need to implement the windfarm_91, rather than following their circular solution :-( BTW, in your experience, do you lose any hardware detection capabilities when you switch from Ubuntu to Debian or vice versa?

My other devices (a USB cammera, a USB printer, the sound card, the ethernet thing...) worked perfectly well. It is said that Ubuntu has better hardware detection capabilities than Debian. I don't know if this is absolutely true. Theese are the very few things I am able to tell you about the hardware detection. I still have the windfarm problems I'll try to use Benjamin's patches.

Re: Test version of the glibc built with gcc-4.0
Hi, I've noticed the following. I don't know if it's a gnome or libc bug (or if it's a normal behavior) I was using: * libc6 2.3.6-1+gcc4.0 * libc6-dev 2.3.6-1+gcc4.0 * libc6-dev-ppc64 2.3.6-1+gcc4.0 * libc6-ppc64 2.3.6-1+gcc4.0 * locales 2.3.6-1+gcc4.0 After reinstalling locales 2.3.6-1, without restarting gdm, gdm refused to use the fr_FR.UTF-8 locales on login. If I restart gdm, I can use the fr_FR.UTF-8 locale. I'm using gnome 2.12.2.2 I could reproduce it with the following steps: 1. dpkg -i *gcc4.0* 2. /etc/init.d/gdm restart 3. dpkg -i locales_2.3.6-1_all.deb 4. select French (UTF-8) in the languages list of gdmgreeter 5. log in, you should receive the following warning: La langue fr_FR.UTF-8 n'esiste pas, utilise Système par défaut Which is the French for: language fr_FR.UTF-8 does not exist; using system default If I first install all the glibc 2.3.6-1 packages, then restart gdm, then install locales_2.3.6-1+gcc4.0_all.deb, the same issue happens. (I had no problem with the French (euro) language) I don't remember having to restart gdm after upgrading the locales package. Do you think this is normal?

On the subject of our ports and the UAE, I have a very interesting relating story. My daughter was basically murdered by a man from UAE before 9/11 because he was in a language school here in USA. It is too long to relate in this email but is very interesting. Talk about a incident waiting to happen, this is exactly what happened to our daughter when she was a freshman and her college had a contingent of military men from the UAE in the basement of her all girls dorm. They were studying english. Ludicrous! and so is letting the UAE own or run our ports. Pease call me and I will give you unbelievable facts about how one university, made this same mistake and then tried to cover up the incident.When I wrote to my congressman back in 1998 about a bill to screen these men from countries with no extradition treaties, they said it would hurt tourism and we needed to be on good terms with UAE, sounds frightfully like the talk I heard on TV yesterday. Please call me at 812-230-2878. Believe me, I have a story that would probably put my family in danger because neither the University where the incident happened nor the UAE want this story told. This is a Trojan Horse.
