| Linux + Wireless Network Okay, so I just ordered all my wireless networking equipment. I thought that being I will need my server as soon as we go wireless so getting it ready early would be nice ![]() The PCI card is a Linksys WMP54G and the router is Linsys's 4port + Wireless DSL/Cable Router.. Can someone please help with making my Debian system work wirelessly? Thanks! |
| ||||
| Nope, never set up a wireless before I am hoping that someone can help tho.. I am not going to go for a Cisco after I bought this, being it costs twice as much..I'm sure it will work some how ![]() |

| Sigma, if you've got a windows system, set it all up on a windows system first, so that you can be sure the thing works fine. Then, when you know everything's working, you can start working on Linux. That way you won't have to wonder where the problem is! ![]() As long as the card is supported by linux you should be ok. If not, you might have lots of problems. Áedán

| Well, there'll be no adventures with Gentoo for a further 3 months, since I'm in Frankfurt and my computer isn't. From first impressions, I like the "emerge" system, and once the system's built, it is smaller and faster. But it's a PITA working out what you want or need, and can take AGES if you decide to go the whole hog and build everything from scratch. There are one or two flaws with the current version, and while most of the documentation is very well written, there's a tragic lack of help for pretty fundamental things like what to configure into your kernel. I think the trick is to build everything you could ever possibly need as a module, and hope it works. As a system in general, don't even consider it unless you have a) fast internet and b) a second computer to hand so you can browse more documentation while building the first. Better yet, also have 3 clear days, sufficient coffee and maybe a good book to read... But it works, and works very well.

| Superman - How you doing!? It's been a while! Yes, I like Debian. The `apt-get` packageing feature might be nice, but I don't use it other then for the basics, like compilers and stuff that takes a bit more time and doesn't need customization.. Here's the entire `apt-get install` that I use: Quote:

| Mainstream Linux distributions become more "Windohs" like as time goes on. There is little real need to use MS OS's anymore. All the same, it's a MS world. It looks like Redmond is figuring out how to make your PC their PC. Which wouldn't be so bad if they bought it in the first place. As they didn't, I'm uneasy about "Longhorn." Digital Rights Management will be a nightmare if it ends up as it's being advertised. This, plus other planned horrors will truly take your machine away from you. I'm wondering if an "Interrnet Appliance" will become the WTG? If so, your "real PC" will lose a lot of its value, unless you have little interest in the Web.
