Thanks for the updates Fabian and Mark. I've wrestled ndiswrapper in the past and am semi fluent it building, moding it and setting it up but I would like to try the open drivers since it seems like that might give me more flexability. I hope your family and health return to normal as soon as possible. Fabian, I hope your disertation goes exceptionally well. Chaks and Tobias I hope all is well in your worlds. Same for the rest of the team.
Take care, Walter -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of mark Sent: Sunday, April 09, 2006 7:03 PM To: yoper-dev - open minded discussion Subject: Re: [yoper-dev] Re: Cliff Wade (Hawkwind) as potential package builder On Sunday 09 April 2006 20:52, Walter Hieber wrote: > At present, i think it is better to focus on how to program YIS :-D > [Walter Hieber] No doubt! > > Here is my shout out to the team.

Fabian, Justin, Reid etc I have seen mails from in the last day or two ;) And I spotted Pioneer in the irc earlier when I popped quickly in to check it was working :) > > Here is where I'm at: > Totally toasted my Yoper 2.91 blacksand install!

Walter - email me about the Ralink card. Using ndiswrapper is hard work! There are 2 good open drivers for the cards - the ralink one and the serialmonkey one. Depends which card you have. The usb dongle thing is a pain to set up, but the pci card or the pcmcia card are simple :) Using the ralink driver on my belkin pcmcia card here on a laptop as I write! Admittedly that is on Debian - but Yoper worked with them in version 2.2.0-6 and 2.1 :) I have no need to try them on Blacksand, although I can if it will help. > Were having another baby so Ive been ordered by the queen to move my office > out of the room to my glassed room so no free time for me for a while.

Great news Walter! Congrats on the baby to both of you :) Great news on the business front too :) > I still can't get over how rediculous my pre-emptive Yoper release > announcment was. What a dork!

Honest.

I have also had a few problems with my health - so I have tried to ease off a bit on all fronts for a week or two. It is also school holidays here - so I shall be less visible this next two weeks than usual I expect. Still about - killing spammers off and watching the posts on the forum and mailing list and hopefully answering a few bits as I can. Still here - but less obvious ;) On the VMWare front again, I was thinking about my earlier reply - and I thought maybe Cliff is looking from the view of Windows running Yoper in VMWare? That may or may not work I suppose - some kernels have issues in VMWare I know. But to be honest, I don't think its a kernel thing with Yoper. As I said before, the early 2.91 test worked OK in Qemu, but later ones failed. Possibly something to do with the YIS installer? Not sure what though. I will see what I can do in the next week or two to discover the problem. In the meantime, please feel free to shout me about the ralink drivers if you want Walter :) Cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ yoper-dev mailing list yoper-dev@lists.yoper.com https://morpheus.pingos.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/yoper-dev _______________________________________________ yoper-dev mailing list yoper-dev@lists.yoper.com https://morpheus.pingos.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/yoper-dev
