shai Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Re: «<< 12Oz Computer Tech Support >>> Comp works!!! (Fucking thing...freak me out like that. I'll show you....) sudo- switches you from a regular user to root (SU=superuser). Basically, admin status...you get more done in root, obviously. dhclient- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol client. http://www.dhcp-handbook.com/dhcp_faq.html will fill you in...the fastest way for Linux to get you on the Web. wlan0- Wireless Local Area Network #0. That's what your wireless card is called....eth0 is your ethernet conection, etc. Read up on POSIX, casek. Really, now! Aree you messing around with Knoppix STD?

Ooooooof....I went through hell doing this a couple months ago with a RTL 8180 driver. Errrrrrmmmm.....get ndiswrapper from here- <ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/> and this will allow you to use the Windoze wifi drivers in Linux. I'm not gonna go into how it works, because I barely understand it. Make sure that your executable path is something along the lines of /etc/sysconfig/network/wireless- every distro has its own particular place it likes to put these, usualy it goes into the .modconf folder when you are dealing with Debian systems (like Ubuntu). That's just what I know off the top of my head (not bad, huh?), but for the real deal go here- http://www.ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=6772394 is the Ubuntu forum search for ndiswrapper issues. When are you going to start using MEPIS? I just have to throw that in there every now and then...supposedly it does all the dirty work as far as wifi configs...and tightens up your game, and makes a damn good martini, to boot. I'd wait for the final 6.0 relese, but my man...it's just a better way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Re: «<< 12Oz Computer Tech Support >>> casek, don't sweat it...I'm actually in a position to help you out (for once), but I would go to http://www.brunolinux.com/ and brush up on what you need to know there. Linux is really easy...but, you're not gonna learn it overnight, either. Think of it as a series of small steps where every now and then, you'll be like, "AHA!!!" Remember, I was hoplessly lost trying to figure out XP. Linux is a much more intuitive and elegant system, and once you figure out a few things, it gets a lot easier. Here's a couple big hints- all of your apps go into the /usr/share folder. Anything ending in /bin is a binary directory, this is the stuff that makes the apps....apply? Personal files tend to end up in your /home folder. If you have a working ALSA config (sound driver), LEAVE IT ALONE....it's goddamn near impossible to fix ALSA, to the point where it's almost easier to reinstall if it fucks up. Forums will save your ass, but read through them and look for an answer to your question before you ask or make new threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_casek Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Re: «<< 12Oz Computer Tech Support >>> ndis wrapper comes with nubuntu. and this is a live cd. not installed as of yet. i don't want to install just for some wardriving shits and giggles. what i need to know is this: i've got a wpc54g pcmia card in the laptop. sudo dhclient doesn't detect that there's a card, but config wlan0 does show a card. don't know if it's mine or not. IEEE something something blargh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Re: «<< 12Oz Computer Tech Support >>> Hmmm...yeah, that's weird. You know, if it's IEEE 1394, that's a Firewire PCi bus number. Laptops are kind of tricky when it comes to Linux sometimes. The best thing to do is look on Sourceforge for a driver once you decide to install....ndiswrapper can be a real pain in the ass, even if you know what you're doing....and, it sounds like you're in the dark about this. Good luck, homie. About all I can tell you is maybe look on distrowatch.com for something that is use-specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
