thats a myth ... might be that they used it first, 
but its a general link-local range, defined in rfc3330
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3330
since usage of zeroconf by apple and avahi on linux these adresses are
quite commonly used in many non MS OSes (and very very helpful for
various autodetection features) 

dont just damn it for its first user ;)

Ubuntu Moble application and a question on list professionalism

2008-07-04 Thread Adam Cassel
I wanted to pose two questions to the group. And this group as I am a
committed reader of it.

First is a general nature of the list repartee question: Would it be
possible to provide technical responses and opinions sans all the Microsoft
bashing, juvenile misspellings and attendant emotional-political ranting?

I find it at this point such a drudge to have to cognitively deal with it,
parse it, and then dismiss it in order to get to the meat of the given post
- assuming there is any meat, and I have found an inverse relationship
between the quality and presence of reasoned technical information to the
amount of MSFT bashing nonsense.

I am wondering if this list could serve as a power of example to the rest of
the OSS community that personal religious, emotional, and political rants
weaved into technical discussion are not in fact helpful from a technical or
engineering perspective, do not reflect well on the OSS or Ubuntu
communities, and are exceedingly off-putting to me, for whatever that is
worth, as someone who is trying to participate in the Ubuntu and wider OSS
communities and learn enough to actually have something to offer.

If you wish, please contact me off-list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] for any long
serious responses. I do think however that any thoughtful responses would be
valuable for all readers of the list.

On-list note: Please keep up the great work and fantastic commitment to MID
computing! I am very excited to learn more and hopefully contribute as I am
working out the high-level functionality and use cases for a video/VOIP
presence application for remote health care delivery with some colleagues
and contacts, and I am very much wanting to pursue pilots/prototypes using
the Ubuntu Mobile platform. Is there anyone out there that might be able to
offer some initial guidance?

Best regards;
Adam

Can't connect to wireless networks

2008-07-04 Thread Rafael Cardenas

Hello, thanks for your answers in the USB install post.
 
I'm creating this new post to continue about the wireless connection.
 
Yesterday I modified the /etc/network/interfaces file, for the eth0 device 
(wired) I put my office network static IP, mask, etc., and it works.
 
I went to my house, I have a linksys router, I configured my home wireless 
network and my wireless key using Connect with other wireless network.. and 
it works.
 
But I can't connect to my office wireless network, for some reason mubuntu 
can't obtain the information of the DHCP server, is there a way to configure it 
in command line?
 
Is it normal that the option Manual Configuration did not works?
 
It happened also in other public hot spots
 
regards
