[12:21] <BenC> mjg59: hey, can you tell me the steps you took to get your bcm43xx working?
[12:21] <BenC> I have firmware, but it doesn't seem to be doing much
[12:22] <mjg59> BenC: Brought it up, set the rate, set the essid, did iwlist scan a couple of times and then dhcliented it
[12:22] <BenC> what's the value for the rate, and does 54g work?
[12:23] <mjg59> Last I tried (a while back) only 11b worked
[12:23] <mjg59> iwconfig foo rate 11M seemed to work
[12:23] <BenC> ok
[12:27] <BenC> wep isn't working I suspect
[12:27] <BenC> iwlist eth2 scanning
[12:28] <BenC> that showed my two AP's though
[12:28] <BenC> so that's promising
[12:28] <BenC> (this is with an airport extreme)
[12:28] <mjg59> Yeah, no wep yet
[12:28] <mjg59> Unless you use the devscape stack
[12:28] <BenC> that sucks, I hate having this airo card in here when I have built-in 54g
[12:30] <BenC> and I can't disable wep since I have my AP's on high power with a 5 foot gain antenna
[12:30] <BenC> last thing I need is some hillbilly hijacking my b/w
[01:00] <zul> heylo
[01:06] <cjb> Evenin'.
[02:03] <CataEnry> hi all
[05:34] <dilinger> mjg59: hey, question for you.  is there a way to reduce fan speed via acpi?  i want to quiet a machine down a bit.
[05:36] <mjg59> dilinger: Have you got a /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/foo/trip_points ?
[05:37] <mjg59> If so, and if it contains trip points that describe active cooling, then yes
[05:38] <dilinger> thermal_zone is empty
[05:38] <dilinger> keep in mind i did a breezy server install
[05:38] <dilinger> so i may not have the proper packages in place
[05:39] <dilinger> i just installed laptop-mode and powernowd, and that reduced cpu frequency
[05:40] <mjg59> No, if you don't have anything there then you're pretty much screwed
[05:40] <dilinger> :/
[07:23] <fs> mjg59: my laptop has the trip_points on 3 different thermal zones, how can I regulate the fan with this =)
[07:23] <fs> but /proc/acpi/fan/ is empty
[07:31] <mjg59> fs: Do the trip points contain active stuff, or just passive?
[07:34] <fs> just passive
[07:36] <mjg59> You can't, then :)
[09:24] <dilinger> hm
[09:24] <dilinger> dilinger@throat:~$ apt-cache search linux-image-2.6.15
[09:24] <dilinger> linux-image-2.6.15-7-amd64-k8-smp - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on AMD K8 SMP.
[09:44] <mjg59> BenC: Latest version of the sdhci driver seems to roughly work
[09:44] <BenC> sdhci?
[09:45] <BenC> btw, I couldn't get devicescape+bcm working
[09:45] <BenC> according the the HOWTO, if it doesn't work, I need to drink more beer and keep trying
[09:45] <BenC> didn't feel like getting drunk and frustrated at the same time though
[09:47] <mjg59> Hmm. I haven't tried the dscape stuff at all.
[09:48] <mjg59> sdhci is a standard for SD card readers
[09:48] <mjg59> A lot of the flash readers in laptops implement it
[09:59] <dilinger> i see 2.6.15-9 on packages.u.c, but for some reason apt doesn't see it
[10:09] <mjg59> dilinger: -10 is uploaded, but has to get through NEW
[10:09] <dilinger> ah, ok
[10:09] <mjg59> -9 may already have been migrated out of the packages file
[10:17] <fs> what is this amd64-alternative-smp thing? 
[11:49] <BenC> mjg59: I have airport2 working with wep now (softmac, not devicescape)
