<riddlebox> does anyone know how to set the radio state of a wireless card to 0 in linux using ndiswrapper?
<jdhutchin1> what do you mean 'radio state' ?
<riddlebox> well everything I read about getting wireless cards to work in ubuntu says people had to change the radio state to 0
<riddlebox> but they never say how they did that
<riddlebox> I think I may have just found it, in the conffile in /etc/ndiswrapper
<variable> anyone have a high bandwidth router setup with mikrotik?(ie. over 300mbps)
<X-> alguien habla espaniol ???
<ScytheBlade1> here's a question that you people probably get ten times a day: is there a good WiFi cardbus card out there, that'll run as an AP under linux (with whatever drivers), but also has an external antenna?
<dragorn> netbay just released some atheros based cards with antenna jacks
<ScytheBlade1> ohh
<ScytheBlade1> 802.11g?
<ScytheBlade1> ...I can't find a company named "netbay" that produces wifi cards anywhere...
<X-> as I can share different resources between LAN ???
<Spitzer20> hi
<Spitzer20> 802.11n is 100mbps right?
<Criggie> 11n doesn't exist yet
<Criggie> its supposed to be 108 Mbit, but thats not effective throughput. You'll be looking at 30 Mbit max, unless theres multiple channels being used
<variable> whats more precise, 1src/second or 3arc/second ?
<variable> *1arc
<cyanoacry> variable: arc per second?
<cyanoacry> or arcseconds?
<variable> arcsecond i think
<variable> for map resolution, which is more precise
<cyanoacry> 1 arcsecond
<variable> ic, cool
<variable> do you use radiomobile ever?
<Spitzer20> i am in apartment building with fiber line in basement
<Spitzer20> we have coaxial coming up
<Spitzer20> we should have wifi on each floor
<Spitzer20> would be nice :P
<wheee> Criggie, preN gets 50mbit data in 1 channel space right now, why would N take such a step back?
<Criggie> wheee: no idea - I'm completely pissing in the breeze.
<Criggie> :)
<wheee> lol
<wheee> good to know then
<Criggie> well - 54 Mbit isn't 54 Mbit, so 11n won't be even vaguely near 108 Mbit
<wheee> now if you could magicly tell me the distance limitation for a we800g (and be right) id be in <3
<Criggie> whats a we800g ?
<Criggie> I'll put on my divination hat
<wheee> no N has a air rate WAY more 108
<wheee> we800g is a moto 11g bridge
<Criggie> thats the mnotorola bridge?
<Criggie> ahhhh
<wheee> preN is 108 in 1 channel (no ikky channel bonding)
<Criggie> oh okay cool!
<wheee> N is suposed to be like 4x that
<Criggie> wheee: Users are free to roam almost anywhere up to 328 feet inside the home and up to 1312 feet outside
<Criggie> basically its two walls
<wheee> Criggie, ya ive read that, but we bboth know that is just the manuf says, many times much better can be had
<Criggie> 328 feet - bollocks :)
<wheee> my preN router does 1000ft easy
<Criggie> thats ***uming the stock aerial of course
<wheee> ya, namely im wondering about ack timeout
<wheee> i got a 5 mile shot to do and a "free" we800g i can get, but if it doesnt work id rather not spend the time on it
<wheee> anyone ever heard of "parkervision" wireless gear??
<Criggie> no idea
<Criggie> wheee: **** it and see
<Criggie> wheee: the worst that happens is it doesn't work
<Criggie> what client equipment would you put on it? one home computer or something?
<wheee> ya its just a home PC
<X-> as I can share different resources between 2 LAN ???
<aglio2> wierd question ... my WRT54G just conked out today
<aglio2> not just the wireless access, but the direct cat5 connection as well
<aglio2> the strange thing is, when restarted, it will work for about 5 min
<aglio2> then die again
<aglio2> I'm thinking the thing's probably dead, but I wanted to ask ... is there any kind of interference that can cause that?
<aglio2> before I go an buy another router ...
<aglio2> ... ***uming, of course, than anyone is online
<DrDT> aglio2 : if your ethernet is going down too, it's almost impossible that it's interference.
<DrDT> working for a bit and then dying is usually an example of overheating
<aglio2> DrDT: yeah, thanks
<aglio2> I've been googling and had just about come to that conclusion
<aglio2> well, if it's overheating at 76f
<aglio2> then I'm going to have to replace it
<aglio2> favorites?
<aglio2> CNET likes the Linksys, aslo the Belkin Pre-N, the Netgear Rangemax and the Netgear WGU624
<aglio2> or recommendations for other wireless router review sites are welcome ...
<websae> anyone here provide wireless access to a city/community? as a WISP?
<aglio2> WISP?
<aglio2> ah, I see
<aglio2> websae: I don't think much of anyone is online right now
<websae> are you a WISP?
<Criggie> I tried once
<Criggie> but none of the neighbours would cough up for the equipment
<Criggie> a wireless card :-\
<aglio2> Criggie: just as well
<aglio2> I used to supply internet for a building full of NPOs
<aglio2> the amount of time it took to collect the montly bill
<aglio2> totally cancelled out the income
<Criggie> :-\ Charge them more
<wheee> heh
<aglio2> they wouldn't pay it
<Criggie> grep the squid cache for porn
<Criggie> and blackmail them
<aglio2> I considered doing it on this building ...
<aglio2> but decided not
<aglio2> no way they'd pay more than $40/month
<Criggie> get that thinkgeek tee shirt that says "I read your email"
<wheee> hahaha
<aglio2> so ... anyone have recommendations or warnings on routers?
<wheee> aglio2, what do you want the router to do?
<wheee> eth, wireless?
<DrDT> aglio2: NPOs?
<aglio2> DrDT: Non-Profit Organizations
<aglio2> wheee: provide wireless for our two laptops in the office
<aglio2> bridging to the local LAN
<aglio2> b/g
<wheee> aglio2, i LOVE the belkin preN router i have
<aglio2> <grin> doesn't "extended b/g" sound like a tag on a porn post?
<wheee> GREAT range and very nice bandwidth
<aglio2> wheee: CNET liked it too
<aglio2> wheee: will it work ok with regular G cards?
<wheee> Yup
<aglio2> and ... more importantly ... will ComPUSA have it in stock tommorrow ....
<wheee> i dunno if they will, check there website
<wheee> it can be had online for less then a ben
<aglio2> yeah, prob is my linksys died today
<aglio2> I need to get something tommorrow AM
<aglio2> wheee: thanks for recommend. I never know when to trust CNET
<aglio2> given that, per google, WRT overheating is a chronic cause of failure
<aglio2> you'd think someone would make a cooler for them ...
<filament> make yer own cooooler
<aglio2> filament: I tried but I can't keep enough dry ice in stock
<filament> you can't just use a fan?
<aglio2> WTF? http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=301825&pfp=BROWSE
<filament> nice price
<aglio2> I think I'm setting up my own citywide 8011b network ...
<aglio2> filament: you ever read Heinlien's story "waldo"?
<filament> nope
<filament> what is it about?
<wheee> nice router price
<aglio2> among other things ... everyone on earth getting MS from wireless power broadcast
<aglio2> wheee: yeah, you think they actually have them?
<filament> ms ****s
<aglio2> <grin> sure does, just ask Stephen Hawking
<wheee> to bad it doesnt run openwrt
<filament> he doesn't have ms
<aglio2> wheee: for $5?
<aglio2> I'll buy 3, just in case
<filament> he's has lou gehrig's disease
<aglio2> oh, sorry
<aglio2> I get all the degenerative disorders mixed up
<filament> this study in england i think, they found evidence of the biological effects of em radiation
<wheee> aglio2, that is a sweet deal, tho they are 11b only units
<filament> i've seen it twice now in the news
<aglio2> filament: oh, we've always known of effects
<aglio2> it's a question of quantity
<filament> this was from the stuff that's in our everyday environment
<aglio2> filament: it would be hard to do a real study of that
