[OT] Triband not up in Linux
by Rony Bill 10 Dec '05

10 Dec '05

Hello All, This is a little embarasing to ask as something as simple as triband is not getting setup in linux. On the day we met at Bandra, later I tried it out at my uncle's place and no success. Now I got it at my place and I tried dhcp as well as static ip but nothing works. In dhcp, the dns becomes 192.168.1.1 instead of mtnl's dns, so I made it static but no result. /etc/resolv.conf show the 2 dns entries. Help help!!

Hacking the DSL502T
by JTD 10 Dec '05

10 Dec '05

Opened the ADSL. Inside is a Malta MIPS processor from TI TD7300, 8MB ram and 16Mb (2MB) rom. There is 5 pin berg connector which has a LVTTL serial port and a 10 pin jtag. The jtag is neat for mucking inside the cpu and flashing the flashrom or debugging using gdb. I will use serial as it is simple for regular stuff. Ideally U need a lvttl to rs232 converter (MAX3232) to connect to a pc, but that device is not easily available. I used regular MAX232 and connected to the pc. Fire up minicom @ 38000bps u drop into sh. type reboot first message is TI copyright follwed by LINUX started... Config serial console: ttyS0,38400 CPU revision is: 00018448 Primary instruction cache 16kb, linesize 16 bytes (4 ways) Primary data cache 16kb, linesize 16 bytes (4 ways) Number of TLB entries 16. Linux version 2.4.17_mvl21-malta-mips_fp_le (jenny@fd6e) (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release/Mon5 Determined physical RAM map: etc. etc. Google produced plenty of info on dsl502. Now to figure out how to increase flash or use a usb disk. rgds jtd

GNU/Linux vs ?/BSD
by (रेवंत) Revan t Nandgaonkar 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Whats the difference? diff the following first 1) Kernel differences that end user can feel 2) Distribution differences and lack or advantage of software. I'm currently using ubuntu and I'm very happy with it. It has all things which Debian's side of Gnu/Linux can give, and its working fine with lots of newbie/intermediate user friendly documentation. I read many flame of Linux vs BSD and flamers seem to be supporting BSD, Should i install BSD flavor and try it? will it just work like ubuntu (Automatix, wiki.ubuntu.com)? Revant

[OT] Wifi router
by Dinesh Joshi 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Hi guys, I am planning to get a 802.11g Wifi router. My choices are : WGR614 - netgear 432BRP - trendnet wrt54g - linksys di524 - dlink xxxx - SMC (dunno the model no.) I have gotten a couple of quotes. The lowest till now I have gotten is for netgear WGR614 from a shop at Lamington road( I think its called Maxcom or something). Is it good (the router)? Does anyone use it? Any problems? Lemme know. I have a Netgear WG311v2 card and its drivers suck. Netgear hasn't released many updates but I can somehow work with that card using Ndiswrapper. Though, I love my Intel 2200PRO wifi card. It's drivers rock! :D Anyway, I would like to the following: 1. Where will I get the Trendnet router? Asked a couple of places. Nobody had it. I contacted Trendnet USA. They gave me a phone no. of a guy in Pune! Couldn't contact him. But they definitely have that product in market and in India. I am keen to get this product because its low cost and more over I have their 5 port switch which works really great. 2. Which shop / place is renowned for selling networking equipment at the lowest cost? (not restricted to lamington road). Looking forward to your input! Thanks a lot. -- Dinesh A. Joshi

[OT]Gmail in Thunderbird
by Rony Bill 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Hello All, I have shifted to gmail as yahoo's uk server appears to have disabled pop access for Indian users. Gmail is all set in thunderbird but on clicking 'get mail' it connects to pop.gmail.com and just remains hanged. Is this related to some security setting in the triband or linux that's causing this. Gmail users on triband please help. All pop and smtp settings as per gmail's instructions, so that area is ok. Regards, Rony
