mplayer debian package
Hi, I tried to install the mplayer-g4 package from the following repository http://honk.sigxcpu.org/linux-ppc/debian/ mplayer/ which is the repository specified at Marillat's webpage for mplayer. However, the installation fails because the package libpolyp0 is missing in both the official debian repos as well as in Guido Guenther's repository. Where can I find this package? Or is there another repository available for mplayer? Shreyas. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: bcm43xx finally working, with encryption too!!!
Bin Zhang [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Try not run dhclient directly. You can configure all you need in /etc/network/interfaces: For example: iface eth1 inet dhcp pre-up modprobe .. post-up iwlist eth1 scan post-up iwconfig eth1 rate 11M post-up iwconfig eth1 essid .. #post-up iwconfig eth1 key .. Use ifup eth1 and ifdown eth1. Bin I tried this approach, it seems, at least from the behavior in my ibook, that the commands with post-up run after the dhcp command. So it still doesn't do the iwlist scanning before dhcp command. Shreyas. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: bcm43xx finally working, with encryption too!!!
Hi Milan, I am using Airport wireless card on an iBook 12 G4 and I have managed to get bcm43xx driver working both with WEP and WPA, using the default debian kernel. I downloaded the softmac-snapshot and bcm43xx snapshots (Jan 15, 2006 snapshots) and compiled the ieee80211 modules from the softmac-snapshot and use them instead of the ones in the kernel. Giuseppe has a good summary of the procedure we followed to get it working at http://www.fisica.unipa.it/~lavaget/ubuntuae/ I have found that iwlist scanning isn't very reliable. I sometimes have to scan a couple of times before setting the essid using iwconfig or wpa_supplicant. This brings me to my problem... I cannot get an IP address using dhclient... the procedure I follow is modprobe ieee80211_crypt ieee80211 ieee80211_crypt_wep ieee80211_crypt_ccmp ieee80211_crypt_tkip ieee80211softmac bcm43xx ifconfig eth1 up iwlist eth1 scan dhclient eth1 When I run dhclient it seems to do an ifconfig eth1 down followed by an ifconfig eth1 up, which means that the iwlist scan results are lost and dhclient keeps searching for the dhcp server. I found that if I let dhclient run on one console and run iwlist eth1 scan in another console then the dhclient immediately is able to get an IP address. So my question is... is there any option that I can pass to dhclient that will disable the up/down of interface if it is already up? Can someone please help?

I had also posted about this in debian-ppc mailing list a few days ago and there were no responses, so I gave up on the dscape+bcm43xx route and went with softmac+bcm43xx. I will give the dscape+bcm43xx route a try again if someone can help me with this. Any help will be appreciated. Shreyas. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

My problem is with the last line, when I try dhclient. It seems to do an ifconfig down/up again, which means I have to run iwlist scan again to get the wireless working again. What I want is a way to disable dhclient from doing its own ifconfig down/up on eth1 (or eth2 sometimes!), so that the iwlist command doesn't have to be run separately on another xterm/console.
