Quoting Bill Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
There is a LOT more you should have said.
- You didn't say what chipset this chip has. No, "Linksys WPC54g v4"
isn't enough to figure it out. You should do pciconf -lv with the
card plugged in and show us the result.
- You didn't show the dmesg output from when the card is plugged in.
- You didn't show what commands you typed to "set an SSID under iconfig,"
or for your attempts to "set wither WEP or WPA-PSK keys."
- If your panic info is accurate, you're using smbfs. Have you tried
_NOT_ using smbfs to see what happens?
Remember, we're not there to look over your shoulder: you have to
_show_ us what you're doing, not summarize.
People, I'm getting tired of always having to ask for this basic
information. The more I have to ask, the more annoyed I get, and the
less inclined I am to help anyone. The shit you don't think is important?
It's important. So spill it already.
Bill makes important points, And I want to use them as a springboard to a
possible way to avoid these sequences of "Pleases tell us,....now tell us...."
messages on the lists.
What about creating a simple "snapshot grabber" or similar tool that
would grab
the output of such commands and stuff them into a file? Then the user could
attach it to the message to the list, or have it attached to the send-pr
channel.
Yeah, it would likely either grab too much or too little information.
The first
isn't a problem, simply group information blocks in the file to various
sub-systems. The second possibility will get fixed as the tool is used & it's
seen what additional information is asked for...
Comments?
