| soundray | My whole family are deeply invested in Linux software. That laptop still has Windows because it came with it, but it's never used. I'll reclaim the disk space from it soon ;) | 12:05 |
|---|---|---|
| abom | hehehe | 12:05 |
| abom | did she have the same nic as me with a laptop? I have a belkin f5d7000 I think | 12:06 |
| soundray | abom: okay, anyway, I think you're nearly there. | 12:06 |
| abom | but we haven't made any progress at all, lol :o | 12:06 |
| soundray | No, the manufacturer is different, but the chipset is the same. | 12:06 |
| abom | o ok, hrm | 12:06 |
| soundray | abom: yes, we have. All that's left to do is to finish off disabling NetworkManager/nm-applet and reboot. Don't forget to disable it in Startup programs. | 12:07 |
| abom | so I disable it and try to disable "roaming mode" right? and do automatic dhcp? | 12:07 |
| soundray | Yes, yes and yes. | 12:08 |
| abom | where do I disable the nm-applet? | 12:08 |
| soundray | System-Preferences-Session, then on the Startup programs tab | 12:08 |

| abom | ok, I unchecked it anything else before I reboot? | 12:09 |
| soundray | When you've done that, could you do a 'cat /etc/network/interfaces' and paste the output here if it's not too much | 12:09 |

| Abom | o heheheheh, damn :/ | 12:22 |
| Abom | is there any hope to get online with linux at all? or do I have to wait another year for another version to come out to try that? | 12:22 |
| soundray | The only software difference between my wife's system and yours right now is that my wife has the updated driver module. | 12:22 |
| Abom | o ok so that's the thing you were saying at first | 12:23 |
| soundray | Are you on i386 or amd64? | 12:23 |
| Abom | amd64 | 12:23 |
| soundray | Oh, excellent. | 12:23 |
| Abom | should I do i386? | 12:23 |
| soundray | In that case, if you thought it worth the bother, you could try my compiled module. | 12:24 |
| Abom | I'd rather try that than just give up :o | 12:24 |
| soundray | My wife's system is 7.04 amd64 as well, so the module should be compatible and you can just drop it in to replace your current one. | 12:24 |
