Re: iBook WLAN
Hi Johannes, If the aircard is 802.11b compatible, you should have no problem using it with another 802.11b compatible access point. If memory serves me right, I don't think the iBook has a pcmcia slot, so I don't know how you'd go with anything else other than the aircard (unless the aircard is mini-pci and you can get another card that works with Macs: remember, having the same interface doesn't mean they will work on macs/pcs). I have a cisco aironet 352 with a Linksys Wireless Router and I have to say it works wonders. It enables you to have both wireless and wired computers connected, which is ideal while you make the transition to a 100% wireless network. Mine costs me 319$ Canadian Dollars (router only). I haven't had a single problem so far in Debian / Linux. Fish On Sun, 2002-06-09 at 15:46, J.

Where to find precompiled PCMCIA-Pack?
Hi, I'm looking for precompiled PCMCIA-Driver-Modules for Debian 2.0.38. * Where do I find it (supposed pcmcia-cs-2.0.38.deb)? * Where do I find an 'old' Debian-System (ie. 2.0) at all?

You can buy a pcmcia/pci adapter + WLAN card, and try to turn it as an
AP ; see http://hostap.epitest.fi/ --- not yet tested, I've a all-in-one
3com pci airconnect (158 EUR) working between {desk,lap}top in ad-hoc

I'm having trouble setting up an ethernet, I have two laptop comuters that i would like to network with the help of an older desktop computer that would act as a file server and gateway/firewall to the internet. I understand the theory of how this works pretty well, but in practice i don't get very far. My main problem now is getting the network itself setup so that the hosts can ping each other. I can't even ping between the two little computers with just the ethernet cable between them, so the server isn't really a part of this problem. The ethernet cards ARE supported by the kernel images i'm using in each machine, and no i don't need to load modules. I use ifconfig to program each card with an IP. Here's what my ifconfig -a looks like from one laptop: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:1B:F3:6B inet addr:10.0.0.1 Bcast:10.255.255.255 . . The other looks identical, but with a different IP addr, of course. So that's good. Now according to the network administrators guide, I should add a route entry; so i do this "route add -host 10.0.0.3" to which i get the error code: SIOCADDRT: No such device. Well, borq! I don't know what i can do beyond this! Maybe one of you out there can see where i'm mistaken. Tony Firecloud PeoplePC: It's for people.

An ordinary straight-through ethernet cable won't work for that.

I'm having trouble setting up an ethernet, I have two laptop comuters that i would like to network with the help of an older desktop computer that would act as a file server and gateway/firewall to the internet. I understand the theory of how this works pretty well, but in practice i don't get very far. My main problem now is getting the network itself setup so that the hosts can ping each other. I can't even ping between the two little computers with just the ethernet cable between them, so the server isn't really a part of this problem. The ethernet cards ARE supported by the kernel images i'm using in each machine, and no i don't need to load modules. I use ifconfig to program each card with an IP. Here's what my ifconfig -a looks like from one laptop: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:1B:F3:6B inet addr:10.0.0.1 Bcast:10.255.255.255 . . The other looks identical, but with a different IP addr, of course. So that's good. Now according to the network administrators guide, I should add a route entry; so i do this "route add -host 10.0.0.3" to which i get the error code: SIOCADDRT: No such device. Well, borq! I don't know what i can do beyond this! Maybe one of you out there can see where i'm mistaken. Tony Firecloud PeoplePC: It's for people.

An ordinary straight-through ethernet cable won't work for that.

You shouldn't need to add a route for a host that's on the same network anyway. Jon Leonard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
