hi does anybody know what hardware and configuraion-steps are needed to get a fedora-pc working as WLAN access-point with WPA/WPA2 google shows me a lot of half-baken instructions which seems to be mostly outdated for 2.6.41 / 3.0.x or missing wpa/ssid completly since i think a bridge-script is not enough to specify SSID/WPA-key and what cards are currently out-of-the-box supported and if they call support ap-mode is also not clear for me this time this two cards are available at my local hardware-dealer but how to find out if supported before buy and as said how to configure on fedora? http://www.ditech.at/artikel/WDNK7/Wireless_PCI_Adapter_Rangebooster_D-LI... http://www.ditech.at/artikel/WSNK12/Wireless_PCI_Adapter_LINKSYS_WMP600N_...

Re: Re: Tablet Acer Iconia W500, anyone?

by Fernando Lozano

Hi, > It's my understanding that Google has released the complete source for the latest Android. Someone please correct if I'm wrong. > John Releasing the sources is not enough for me. Android is developed at closed doors, and the source released afterwards, or not released at all, like it happened wth 3.0 / Honeycomb. I don't know how hard is to do something usefull with those sources. Sometimes you find "complete" sources available but an incomplete/not documented/not automared build process, and the sources are pretty useless without a huge effort. Not mentioning that all android devices on the market use ARM cpus. Maybe the current sources need significant porting effort for x86. Current Android requires programming for their specic APIs: no X, no LibreOffice, no Gimp, no Inkscape... A tablet like the Acer Iconia W500 has the same specs as a current netbook, so I could use it sometimes as a tradicional netbook and say edit ODT documents, and sometimes as a tablet, using the touch interface for multimedia and web browsing. It even helps that by providing a doc with keyboard, full-size usb and vga ports. So today I could do with it things I cannot do with a tablet. My question is, on the tablet side, anyone has tried Fedora on the Iconia, and found it nice to use with touch-screen only? []s, Fernando Lozano

passwordless sudo

by Hiisi

Hi, list! I'm trying to set up passwordless sudo for myself. It's a shiny brand new fresh-installed F16. During first boot I had been asked to create a new user and put him to administrative group. I answered yes and hence my user is able to run commands using sudo. However in /etc/sudoers there's not a mention of my user. I've added the following string to it: hiisi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL Apparently it has no effect - I have to enter password each time sudo is invoked for the first time. What the heck and how do I solve this mystery? -- Hiisi. Registered Linux User #487982. Be counted at: http://counter.li.org/ -- Spandex is a privilege, not a right.

Suddenly cups does not run on boot

by Aaron Konstam

Suddenly cups is not stared on boot on the machine that is my printseerver. (F16) Now when I run systems-analyze blame cups.service is not one of the services that appears in the printout. However, systemd says the cups.service is enabled. If I restart the service things work again. Where can I look to fix the problem? -- ======================================================================= If God had intended Man to Walk, He would have given him Feet. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam(a)sbcglobal.net

iwl4965 wifi card problem

by Lawrence E Graves

The firmware in this wifi card prevents my Dell 9400 Inspiron from installing the nvidia drivers. There have been some bug reports but I have not seen any fixes produced. Can anyone tell me where they are as it relates to this problem. I am still not able to install the nvidia drivers on my laptop. I am using Fedora 16/64-bit. -- Lawrence Graves All things are workable but don't all things work.

Tablet Acer Iconia W500, anyone?

by Fernando Lozano

Hi there, Googling around I found with a little work I can run Fedora on that Tablet. Only wish it didn't came with Windows Pro, I could save a few bucks if it was Windows Home Basic. Anyone on the list tried this? Do you think this machine with F15 or F16 would be a useable tablet? Andoid is not yet open enough for my taste ;-) []s, Fernando Lozano
