Hey there. I was just looking through gmail while I was waiting for vmware to install. I noticed I had actual spam in my spam folder so I went to clear it. To my surprise it was all comments to my blog. I quickly let gmail know that these notices weren’t spam and set to work approving the comments. Two were really blog spam and the other three - which I approved - I will answer here. You can find the comments in my post about WU830G and IPv6. Sorry it took so long to get that cleared up.

Ummm WU830G:

I haven’t really touched much on this since I posted. Tried getting the newest ndiswrapper from their site thinking that the Ubuntu package might be stale. But that didn’t work either. I looked high and low for information on this nic but I haven’t found very much. Seattle Wireless lists the nic and it’s chipset - a chipset that brings up two unrelated sites when I google it.

My next approach with this is going to be to try and set it up on my sons machine which I installed DSL on. I noticed the ndiswrapper software is already installed there with a nice little wizard. Maybe I’m just a spazz as far as setting up ndiswrapper goes. But it seems pretty straight forward.

IPv6:

I’m not sure what isn’t working with your setup, Tom. I’ll take a closer look after I get a little work done today. =) I have to say though, that I haven’t found myself using any of the enhancements available with IPv6. I hardly know it’s there accept that I feel the presence of a gaping hole in my router - IPv6 isn’t NAT’d. But I’ve got firewalls up and such.

Which reminds me, I saw a post somewhere where in it was suggested that you don’t need firewalls at all if you compartmentalize the functions of our system across virtual machines via Xen. I don’t know about the no firewall thing… but I am constantly intrigued by Xen and the thought of using your system in new and interesting ways. But I’m afraid I’ll have to get some new memory before I get to doing any heavy linux work.

Well, I think that has it covered. Sorry didn’t notice the posts sooner. And I still find it freaky that I come up at the top of so many google searches *shudders*
