I finally got wirelessw to work. I had to issue the iwconfig commands by hand and do a pump, that worked!

It seems like the iwconfig item in the main menu should be doing this but it pops up a window which immediately goes away. I don't know the name of this script and where it is located,otherwise I could look into it and find out what is going on. But for now its working manually.

(entered into firefox over wireless connection)

Wow !
Your having a blast here with DSL

I use the edna.dsl as a streaming MP3 server running on a DSL
garbage box ( celeron 333 w/128MB's ) on my home network.
Plus, I can listen to my server at work, share with relatives,
and have access to my library anywhere there is an IP ...
( It will be streaming lots of christmas cheer this weekend. )

Edna is awesome..

I have been working on an icecast.dsl for DSL ,
but the setup for each system needs to be unique..
Maybe I'll need to include some setup docs for it..

Glad to hear your also having good success with the Delta Cards.
I would like to see some better mixers available for the 1010.
------------------------------------------------------------

Curious, I am..
From a root prompt, what does the command
" Xvesa -listmodes "
show you for usable vesa modes on your NVidia ?
I have 5 different NVidia cards in use with DSL,
and all of them like the XVesa over the framebuffer.
( I know the radeon cards seem to want XFBdev )

I run most of mine at 1280x1024x16
--------------------------------------------------------------

Have you been using the prism2 utility in the DSL setup GUI ?
My prism2 works great from there, using the setup tool.
( make sure you capitalize your hex , and place colons
between 2 character groups in your wep key. )

Once it is working , it should create a myprism.sh file..
Place the filename/path in your filetool.lst ,
and put a command to start the file in your /opt/bootlocal.sh
Then do a backup ...
Should come up automatically every boot thereafter ..

Enjoyed your posts..

I tried the Xvesa comand and this is what I got:

root@ttyp0[dsl]# Xvesa -listmodes
Interrupt pointer doesn't point at ROM
Interrupt pointer doesn't point at ROM
0x0006: 640x200x1 (monochrome) Planar (1 planes)
0x000D: 320x200x4 Planar (4 planes) (no linear framebuffer)
0x000E: 640x200x4 Planar (4 planes) (no linear framebuffer)
0x0010: 640x350x4 Planar (4 planes) (no linear framebuffer)
0x0011: 640x480x1 (monochrome) Planar (1 planes)
0x0012: 640x480x4 Planar (4 planes) (no linear framebuffer)
0x0013: 320x200x8 PseudoColor

It doesn't look too promising.

The problem with the prism2 setup thingy is that the system installs the orinoco drivers at boot time, while they are installed you cannot install the WLAN drivers (which is what the prism2 setup does) I did get it to work but I first had to rmmod the orinoco drivers. With the proper iwconfig commands the orinoco drivers work great, we just need a simple utility to set the SSID and WEP (Which I suspect is what the iwconfig on the menu is for), oops getting late I have to get to the astronomy club board meeting. DSL is just taking up too much time these days.

OOOhhh... Did he say Astronomy ?

I see another thread in the near future...

Maybe a HamRadio/Astronomy thread..

Do you know...

Patricia Reiff - (Pat)
Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy,
and Director of the Rice Space Institute at Rice University
Very active in Astronomy and Ham Radio - Her callsign is KD5IZK

Loyd Overcash
Avid Astrophotographer and works closely with/to McDonald Observatory
in West Texas.. His astrophotography is well published thruout the internet
and universities / astronomy clubs here in Texas. His callsign is KM5OE

Great folks, wonderful to talk to and play radios with..
Sent my kids some pictures .. ( so cool! )
and answer folks questions during their commute to/from home...

Keeps us up on current events ( ISS passes, Eclipses, Iridium Flashes, etc.. )

I see their "toys", and our 4 lil' dinky scopes will never compare..
( I did capture some neat stuff with our 6" reflector and our dig camera! )

See, whadda I tell ya' !!

Oh, yeah.. If you find yourself using the rmmod orincoco command
frequently, you could place the "rmmod orinoco" line in your /opt/bootlocal.sh
before the myprism.sh line, to unload that driver by default.
I don't have one to play with , but I bet there is an easy way to setup
the orinoco to work correctly, since it only needs your info at boottime..

Aha, I USED to be ham, many years ago, from about 12 to 17 years old, then computers hit (the I got started with a homebuilt 8080 system when that was about the only microprocessor you could buy) and I let my license lapse. I've been running into a lot of astronomy/ham people in the last few years. I was into QRP at the time, I built a very small 1.5 watt rig I would use when back packing in the Siera Nevada. I would fine a nice tall tree and use a slinky coupler and pretty much be able to communicate with the world with 1.5 watts. I also used to have fun doing Am radio DXing with the slinky coupler, I could eaily get stations from south america.

I live in the SF bay area, so I don't know too many people in Texas, but Texas WAS instrumental in getting me into astronomy. My wife's familly lives in rural Texas to the east of Austin (their address is Elgin, but they really are not near anything!) After we got engaged I went to see them (It was February) and the stars there really blew me away, it got me hooked, now I have 6 telescopes, a bunch of expensive eyepieces and an astronomical CCD camera. I like building scopes too, right now I'm building a computer controlled mount to do the imaging with, I'm pretty sure that I'll wind up using DSL in it (to get back to the REAL topic!)

Well thats enough time chatting, back to fooling around with DSL and softsqueeze!
