I made the move to update one of my servers to dapper because I’d heard that they’d made changes that had the Atheros wireless chipset working a lot better… no more static IP. Well… I’m not sure yet. First thing that happened is Shorewall refused to start because they’d changed the config files. So I [...]

Picked up two AirLink Desktop Wireless cards. Going to setup them up and move my gateway box out into the garage. This is their Atheros SuperG card – they’re at home so I don’t have the model # on me.. I’ll update it when I get home – so it should work just as well [...]

A lot of misc. data today: Wireless: Got the dish off the deck. It’s a Dish Network dish and not like the one in the O’Reilly Wireless Hacks book. Anyone have any experience with this model? The camera is back with my father-in-law (Who owns it) so I didn’t get any pictures. MonoCast: Got two [...]

I’m constantly referring to Justin’s O’Reilly Wireless Hacks book as the Seattle Wireless Hacks book. I even tried typing that just now. I guess – at least in my mind – they’re becoming pretty ubiquitous.

Packed up the whole family and headed over to CJ’s place tonight. We had a great time chatting and getting to know each other. It was nice to hang out with people who had kids so we didn’t have to constantly chase ours around going “Oh no… put down the glass decoration. Oh no… don’t [...]

Just thought I’d warn you. I found this article via digg. I mean.. given enough time almost anything is crackable. Anything is possible. Just got to make sure to go here when you’re coming up with your WPA key. Helps to have a USB key to tote it around on. Of course. Don’t go leaving [...]

I’ve been busy the last few hours paying Geek Tax: The amazing waste of time that you must endure when crap stops working. Justin told me about it today when I was describing my sudden inexplicable problems with WPA and my new card. After having everything in order the night before last I cuddled up [...]

Found a handy tutorial for setting up WPA quickly in Breezy. I had most of this done already but I went over the steps again when I gave up on freeRadius. On my radius box I kept getting the error message that rlm_eap_tls.so couldn’t be found. And sure enough.. I couldn’t find it. Hrmm Oh [...]

I just picked up the Atheros based Airlink AWLC4030 so I can use WPA and enable freeRadius – and of course use G rather than b for the speed boost. Another benefit was going to be running netapplet so I can easily take a look at APs – my current card wouldn’t run iwscan. So [...]
