infinityzul: Good.  We need more people with clue.03:29
zulheh im good at faking it ;)03:30
infinityWe all are, dude.  We all are. :)03:31
infinityIt's all about how *well* you fake it. :)03:31
zulhehe...03:31
infinity(Only slightly tongue-in-cheek here, since knowlege isn't what's important, it's the ability to rapidly acquire knowlege that sets people apart, IMO)03:32
zulthats so true03:32
infinitySo, the faster you can Google, and the quicker you can pretend to be familiar with kernel subsystem X, the more you win.03:32
fabbionehey infinity 03:41
fabbionedid you get rid of your headacke?03:41
infinityI wish.03:41
fabbioneok03:42
fabbione:/03:42
infinityOh well, I can think clearly enough to drive the buildds and other mindless tasks, so I'm getting SOMETHING done.03:43
infinityJust not much hacking right now, cause I'm not alive enough to program my way out of a paper bag.03:43

MithrandirI recommend using your hands or a knife or something to get yourself out of a paper bag.03:46

BenCyeah, that sounds like a plan05:45

davidjI'm trying to build fuse, and I've run into a problem.  The fuse-2.5.3/kernel/Makefile seems to require building as root.  Specifically, it won't build without write access to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/fuse/.  How did you fix this when you packed fuse for ubuntu?06:18
BenCbasic kernel makefile06:19
BenCin-tree build doesn't do that06:20
davidjAh, that's right, your kernel has fuse built in.  I'm trying to build it for RH, which doesn't have it.06:20
zuluh...we dont do redhat06:21
davidjzul: I know.06:22
davidjI'm building for for LTSP, and there are a lot of links between ubuntu and ltsp.06:22
davidjogra suggested that BenC might have a hint or two that might help me.06:22
BenCI suggest removing the line that tries to copy the file to /lib/modules/06:23
davidjBenC: Thanks for your response.  I'll keep working at it.06:23

mdzBenC: how confident are you in ipw3945?11:56
mdzI'm a bit wary of adding an entirely new driver after beta11:56
BenCmdz: to be honest, I have no confidence, because I have no way to test it, however, because of Intel has a good track record with their drivers, and because we didn't have to hack any code to get it to build, I suspecrt it will work perfectly11:57
mdzipw2200 certainly wasn't perfect when we first got it in, but it was no worse than having no driver at all11:58
mdzthat's the only bar we need to set ;-)11:58
BenCfitting it into our source was 10x's easier than some of the drivers we pushed in there, and they seem to be doing ok :)11:58
infinityIf it works for one user, we win, IMO.11:58
mdzso long as it doesn't, say, hang the kernel when the module is loaded, it's ok11:58
infinityAnd surely we can find one user to test the bloody thing.11:58
mdzbut if it does that, it can make it nearly impossible to install ubuntu11:58
BenCyeah, that would be the major draw-back11:58
BenCbut I don't see that happening, most likely it would crash when it is configured, if anything11:59
mdzI know sabdfl will appreciate his X60's wireless working though11:59
Keybukhe has an X60 now?11:59
Keybukwhat did he do to his X40?11:59
BenCwhen I get .22 out, I'll email him to test it11:59
mdzhe still has it I think11:59
=== infinity notes that the ipw3945 thing was more or less delivered to us as an edict from on high.
mdzBenC: good plan11:59
BenCyeah, it was actually the sab that wanted it in there, and he was very pushy about it :)12:00
mdzinfinity: oh?  I didn't get that memo12:00
cjbWait, isn't ipw3945 the one that needs the binary userspace daemon running as root?12:00
mdzcjb: yes12:00
infinitycjb: Yup!12:00
cjb*boggle*12:00
BenCcjb: yeah, it gets started automatically when the module is loaded12:00
cjbIs that even legally redistributable?12:00
BenCyes12:00
infinitymdz: I've noticed that some memos seem to be strategically CCd so as to avoid opposition. :)12:00
BenCit and the firmware come with redistribution rights12:00
mdzinfinity: if there is an email trail for that, please forward me a copy of the thread12:01
infinitymdz: I'll have to poke mjg59 for his end of the trail.12:01
infinityBenC: Did you get any such?12:01
BenCmdz: it was a very thin thread I got from sabdfl asking if we could include it, he sent it about the same time you emailed me, when the driver got released12:01
infinitymdz: I was out of the loop, except for the part where I did he LRM work, cause I was "in there anyway".12:01
cjbIs anyone working on a free version of the binary driver?  Can't be that hard to figure out what it's doing.12:02
BenCit wasn't really a decleration from above, just a request, but one which I couldn't really refuse :)12:02
infinitycjb: I'm sure several people already are, but not in time for dapper.12:02
BenCand I'm sure Intel knows that will happen too12:02
infinityThey're counting on it, I suspect, so they can drop their silly "we're doing this to placate the FCC" workaround.12:03
