acidBURNtks01:04
acidBURNnot seeing the driver listed01:05
acidBURNEthernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)01:06
acidBURN        Subsystem: Netgear Unknown device 5d0001:06
acidBURNthought it might me madwifi01:07
acidBURNbut its not showing it01:07
jdongthat NIC is madwifi-supproted01:16
jdongiwconfig should show an ath001:16
jdongif not, check that restricted modules are correctly installed, etc01:17
jdonglsmod | grep ath01:17
acidBURNk checking01:17
jdongshould show ath_pci, ath_hal, etc01:17
jdongthe AR5212 has one of the most solid wifi drivers available to open source01:17
acidBURNumm it shows a ath101:17
jdongyeah, that works too01:18
acidBURNand for wifi it shows nothing01:18
jdongiwlist ath1 scan01:19
jdongthat should list all the AP's currently available01:19
jdongmay need a sudo to get it to show updated info01:19
acidBURNk grep found something..01:19
jdongyeah if you have an ath1, the card is being properly detected01:20
jdongif you're using Ubuntu Feisty, KNetworkManager should be able to automatically use that card via its GUI01:20

jdongmadwifi drivers have been heavenly in my epxerience01:21
acidBURNwell the reason behind this, is to find out the madwifi driver being used01:21
jdongah, ok01:21
acidBURNthis is what I did01:21
jdonggrepping lsmod for ath will tell you if madwifi is being used01:21
jdongath_hal, ath_pci, etc are all madwifi's work01:21
jdongI believe dmesg | grep madwifi might show the actual madwifi name01:22
jdongmaybe ;-)01:22
jdongbut the only Linux drivers for Atheros cards is the madwifi driver01:22
acidBURNnope01:22
acidBURNwanted to find out what version01:22
acidBURNof madwifi driver01:22
acidBURNis it current01:22
jdongmodinfo /lib/modules/`uname -r`/madwifi/ath_pci.ko01:23
jdongthe second or 3rd line is the version01:23
jdongit is reasonably current01:23
acidBURNchecking01:23
acidBURNmajor thanks..01:24
jdongnp01:24
acidBURNits the current version01:24
acidBURNnow the fun being..01:24
jdongyeah, usually the kernel devs keep the driver at the latest version until the version of Ubuntu releases01:24
jdongat that time it is frozen -- it's not wise to update system components after release :)01:25
acidBURNwas using the wg511t card and updated to the wpn511 which has rangemax.01:25
acidBURNthe funny thing, is the wg511t was showing a better level in strength and speed01:25
acidBURN? how can this be, since the wpn511 supposed to be a faster card 10x01:26
acidBURNodd01:26
jdongwell... the level really doesn't mean too much IMO01:26
jdongthe best speed test is downloading a large file from a local LAN host01:26
jdongthe connection rate has little to do with actual transfer speed01:27
acidBURNhmm, I did upgrade to netgear rangemax wireless router...01:27
jdongapparently "iwpriv ath0 mode 3;iwpriv ath0 turbo 1" turns on 108G mode01:27
jdongof course, yours is ath101:27
acidBURNdump my linksys01:27
jdong108G is just G multiplexed with an A channel01:28
acidBURNon the wg511t its ath001:28
acidBURNon the wpn511 its ath101:28
jdongyes, beause ath0 is reserved for your old card01:28
jdong /etc/iftab will show that01:28
jdongedit it with the MAC address of your new card ifyou want it to become ath001:28
acidBURNbut the speed is not as good as the slower card01:29
jdongthe rangeboosting stuff is all a gimmick01:29
jdongacidBURN: how did you test the speed?01:29
acidBURNso, that is why I was asking maybe a driver issue01:29
jdongeverything from weather to your neighbor's microwave will affect 2.4GHz transmissions01:29
acidBURNgo to a web site, and download a 50 meg file01:29
jdongyour web is fast enough to test your wifi?01:30
acidBURN?01:30
acidBURNhave a 15mb connection01:30
jdongah, ok01:30
jdongthat can probably push 2MB/s, which is nearing the limits of wifi in all practicality01:31
jdongwhat kind of limits are you hitting?01:31
jdongbut it is not a driver related thing.... except that command to enable Turbo mode01:31
jdongyou can give that a shot, but Turbo mode is pointless if you are out of range of 5.8GHz transmissions01:31
jdongi.e. if there are any walls between you and your router01:32
acidBURNgot about 1.1 MB/s wireless01:32
jdonghow far away from the router were you?01:32
acidBURN6 feet01:32
jdonglol01:32
jdongyeah, that's definitely no turbo mode :D01:33
acidBURNgood or bad01:33
jdongit's not terrible at all01:33
jdongwhere were you downloading from?01:33
acidBURNeven know the signal strength is only 6001:33
jdongmost of the places I download from can only give me 2.0MB/s wired.01:33
jdongon a good day too01:34
jdongdon't use the signal strength numbers -- they don't mean much01:34
acidBURNtest.tampabay.rr.com01:34
acidBURNsave as01:34
acidBURN50mb01:34
acidBURNwired I tested at 1.8MB/s01:34
jdongthat kind of difference can easily be caused by wifi latency reducing efficiency of TCP/IP01:35
acidBURN? how does one fix that01:35
jdongyou don't... it's a fact of wifi01:35
jdongthe only thing that can help you are iether trying new channels01:35
acidBURN>sick<01:36
acidBURNhow01:36
jdongor seeing if you can turn on "turbo" mode01:36
acidBURN?01:36
acidBURNon the card01:36
jdongchannels are in your router's config01:36
acidBURNor router01:36
jdong1, 6, and 11 are the only 3 you need to try01:36
acidBURNthe netgear box01:36
jdong the others are all really close to those, so not worth the time01:36
acidBURNok01:36
jdongyes, on the web admin interface of your netgear box01:36
jdongand turbo mode is explained in the atheros wiki at madwifi.org01:37
jdongI have never owned a turbo mode card personally, so I can't help you much with  that01:37
jdongyou can try the Atheros IRC channels, etc if the wiki doesn't explain it well01:37
jdongbut you if you have another computer in your LAn, you should try using LAN->LAN transfers to gauge speed01:37
jdongjust as a reference, with my Intel 3945ABG built in wifi card, I rarely see wifi get faster than 1.5MB/s01:38
acidBURNthen the pcmcia card will change channels to match the router and jump into turbo mode?01:38
=== gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #kubuntu-devel
jdongeven though plugging in to the exact same drop the AP is plugged into gives me 9.2MB/s via my TG3 wired card01:38
acidBURNq. if I change channels, will the other computer using a links wet11 be able to still connect to the netgear router?01:40
jdongyeah01:41
jdongthey will momentarily lose their connection, but quicklyl rescan and find the new channel01:41
acidBURNcool01:41
acidBURNokay, I will read up on turbo mode, and check with switching channels for better downloads... TKS01:42
jdonghttp://www.smallnetbuilder.com/images_old/Reviews/images/scrnshots/dgl_4300/wireless_throughput_compare_dn.png01:43
jdonghere is a nice review of an expensive gaming 108G Atheros Turbo G router01:43
jdongthe best run showed 20MBit01:43
jdongwhich is nothing to write home about....01:44
jdongIMO these A+G multiplexing techniques are just a bunch of gimmicks01:44
jdongthey'll need something like freq hopping spread spectrum, MIMO, or a new band before they can make a true breakthrough in wifi speed01:44
jdongthen again, I'm not a wifi market analyst by any means. take my words as some random kid in IRC ranting ;-)01:45

Riddellpbuilder is for testing a package05:01
Riddelldebuild is dpkg-buildpackage but checks you have all the build-deps and runs it through fakeroot05:04

=== gnomefreak uses dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -nc to test it :)
nixternaldon't you just love that after you are in your chroot and you pbuild create, and it poops out at the end because you forgot to cp /etc/hosts and resolv.conf ;)05:16

nixternalI thought it did05:47
fdovingdoes kde4 even use obj-arch-linux-gnu directories like that?05:47

fdovingyou build out of source into that directory then?05:48

ovu_hi Stefan...i wrote you some days ago...I am Omar Vera09:35
ovu_I am just starting to get involved with Kubuntu09:35
_StefanS_oh :)09:36
_StefanS_hi there09:36
_StefanS_welcome :)09:36
ovu_I am just starting reading and playing with QT409:37
_StefanS_ovu_: probably a good thing since all is moving in that direction..09:37
ovu_is there any starting guide to get involved with the development?09:37
nixternalso then I guess I should quit messing with Qt2 ;)09:37
_StefanS_nixternal: probably ;)09:37
nixternalhaha09:37
nixternalthere are a couple of development guides located in the KDE documentation (www.kde.org) and there are quite a few excellete Qt4 tutorials on www.trolltech.com as well09:38
_StefanS_ovu_: well I guess thats kinda sparse, but maybe Riddell can give something to look at with regards to Kubuntu/Qt409:38
nixternals/excellete/excellent/09:38
_StefanS_ovu_: I know quite some stuff needs to be ported to Qt4 for busty gibbons or whatever it is called :D09:39
nixternalhahahahahahahaha09:39
ovu_and where do I find that information? is there any list of what is missing to do?09:39

ovu_ok, then I think meanwhile I have to continue getting involved with QT4 right?09:42
_StefanS_ovu_: yes, and should should also try out #kde-devel or #qt for help related to either subject09:42
_StefanS_ovu_:  in #qt there's alot of helpful guys09:43
ovu__StefanS_:ok, starting with bug fixing will be great...I think I am just a newbie but I want to start with something09:46
_StefanS_ovu_: see if something fits your level, and ask09:47
_StefanS_ovu_: I mean even if its not that Qt related, I might give you other useful insights into linux/kubuntu in general09:48
ovu__StefanS_: ok, I will review it...and is there any guide for retrieving the code from the repositoty and building the packages?09:48
_StefanS_ovu_:  well there's probably some guides, mostly debian ones - since the packaging is based entirely on apt09:49
_StefanS_ovu_: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html09:50
_StefanS_ovu_: but I just use the instructions I wrote you. Me and debian diffs dont get along too well, so I always end up bugging Riddell or Tonio_ with regular diff -urN <file1> <file2> diffs09:51
