internet connection sharing
by Joseph L. Casale
In earlier releases of Fedora, I recall this being possible but not w/o some
extra work. In F12, is it actually as simple as the Redhat Magazine video suggests? Does simply
creating a wireless connection enable all required elements such as forwarding, dhcp etc for sharing
a wired connection out a wireless connection in ad-hoc mode?
When I create a connection set as "Shared to other computers" dnsmasq isn't started for example.
Searching the net yields a couple tutorials on this, but none dive nito any detail...
Thanks,

Settting "iwconfig wlan0 power off" made a big difference in my experience. I
still get disassociation every now and then, but it was an obvious improvement
from before and the wireless was actually usable, which was not the case
before.
Haven't had a chance to try F11 at the place where I am having this problem
with the wireless.

F12 Wireless Network intermittently Dropped: AR9285 card / ath9k module
by Reuben D. Budiardja
Hello,
I have an ASUS N51 series with Atheros AR9285 card that I just put F12 on.
Today I brought the notebook on campus that basically has open wifi (we had to
register our Mac address with our ID to be on the network, but otherwise it's
open, no WEP, WPA or anything).
The problem is that I keep getting my network dropped intermittently. Every
few tens of second or order of minutes my network would get dropped, and then
get connected again. It's enough that I can't work with it, since I work by
doing programming on remote machine via SSH.
During all this time, Network manager shows reasonable wireless strength, that
fluctuates between 2 bars to full bars.
Here's what /sbin/lspci shows as my wireless card:
Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network
Adapter
And looking at the output /sbin/lsmod, I'm guessing it's using "ath9k" module.
I've search the web and archive and found few reports here and there about
something similar, but I couldn't find anything definite, or any workaround.
Does anyone have any idea that can help me ? Any workaround, even with
different / older version of Fedora ?
Thank you for any respond.

You have Javascript disabled or an old version of Adobe flash player.
Neither statement is true.

Is anybody using screentoaster with Fedora 12?
by M. Fioretti
Greetings,
I am running Fedora 12 x86_64 and I have noticed that I cannot use
www.screentoaster.com. The java app used to make screencasts starts,
seems to run, but I cannot stop it or control it in any way. For
example, there is a pop-up windows to set the audio: if I try to click
on the button which should authorize the applet to get audio from my
microphone, nothing happens. The pop-up window remains there.
I am running firefox-3.5.5-1.fc12.x86_64 and these Java packages:
[marco@polaris ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i java
java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-33.b16.fc12.x86_64
java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-33.b16.fc12.x86_64
tzdata-java-2009o-2.fc12.noarch
java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-29.fc12.x86_64
java_cup-0.10k-3.x86_64
Should I disinstall them and use the Sun's version? Alternatively,
what could I do to get more info about the problem?
Thanks,
Marco

provider for google calendar
by oleksandr korneta
so I'm on Fedora 12, 64bit. It was an unpleasant surprise to find out
that that some extensions for thunderbird from mozilla's website cannot
be installed because of 64bit architecture (wtf? is this opensource or
what?). Yes I'm talking about lightning calendar extension. Anyway,
turns out some good people did package it and put in repository. But it
is useless for me without the Provider for google calendar. And this
one is not packaged and cannot be instaled from mozilla's website. So,
does anybody have similar problem/has a solution? Maybe someone can
point me to some "how to recompile Provider for google calendar" blog
article?
thank you
