Hacking Samsung 4510-Based APs
zoobab writes "Some belgian linux hackers met this week-end to hack some wireless access points based on the samsung4510 chip. They have succeeded in compiling and booting a uClinux kernel on a Dlink 614ap+, which is equipped with the infamous acx100 wireless chipset. There's still some work to do, but if you want to help, open your 22mbps AP and try to built your own JTAG adaptator to get access to the flash..."
but FreeBSD still sux
What On earth is he talking about

Hi, I've always used Windowz and I consider myself an exceptional Visual Basic programmer, so I know computers pretty good. In fact I got an A- in my programming class last term. But I'm a little wary of how much power Microsoft has in the computer field. Many of my friends use RedHat and I've recently installed it on my machine at home. Although I haven't had as much chance to play with it as I'd like, I've been greatly impressed. This weekend I gave some thoughts to the things that are wrong with Linux. I hope no one minds having some flaws pointed out. I'd like to help make RedHat stronger so it can conquer MS. Hopefully RedHat will hear this (crossing fingers) and address these. I think with a little effort, RedHat's Linux can defeat Microsoft's Windows! :)
To begin with, there are too many different flavors of RedHat.
Browsing a list on Amazon, I saw they made varients under the
codenames of Mandrake, Debian and Slackware, just to name a few. I
know that I'm very new to RedHat so maybe this is obvious but it seems
like RedHat should just sell a few different flavors of its operating
system. Perhaps one for the desktop and one for a server? Could
someone explain why RedHat produces dozens of different versions of
Linux?
Secondly did you know that anyone can view the source code to Linux! I
think that RedHat shouldn't make its code available. After all, what
keeps Microsoft from stealing RedHat's ideas and putting it into
Windows? My friend says that FreeBSD stole the TCP/IP stack from DOS a
long time ago and Microsoft is always looking for revenge for that.
Plus it seems to me like RedHat is just giving away its ideas for
free. And what keeps hackers or terrorists from tampering with the
code and putting a virus in every computer?
On a related note, why doesn't RedHat write Linux in assembly? My
friend says that's what Microsoft does for Windows, and that's why
Windows is faster and more stable than Linux.
Next RedHat definitely should kill -9 (ha, ha!) the command line.
Microsoft finally gave up DOS when Windows 2000 came out. I'm suprised
that RedHat hasn't migrated away from...whatever its version of DOS is
called (Bash, I think?) But maybe this is planned for a future
release?
Finally Linux needs games! RedHat will never be successful in the home
without games. They should also tell M$ to release a version of Office
for Linux too. And Internet Explorer!
Have a nice day! Go Linux!!

Linux is a true supository of vital information.
Stop hacking the fucking device, you commies!
I thought it was the bloody Americans who couldn't be bothered to plan for the aftermath of a war of agression. Who have not spent anywhere near enough to fix the problems in Afganistan, and continue to ignore vast problems in all of Africa. (And I know, it's off topic - but needed to be said for what without a doubt was a white prick from the USA in the g-parent.)
(BTW, I'm a white American who is ashamed of the acts of my ruthless government.)
PLEASE, Anonymous Coward! Stop your crap about US not doing enough. We need to serve OUR interests. Not everyone can have the same level of luxury as the US, it's just a simple fact, get over it, move on, stop trying to make me feel guilty for owning a nice fuel-guzzling vehicle while I drive though an all-night fast food joint to get a 1/4 pounder which I will throw away half of. I'll leave 4 computers on, running couterstrike servers, and httpd. I don't hate the HOLLYWOOD because they promote GASP! American Ideology, after all, they were made in AMERICA. But wait, isn't it HOLLYWOOD that is ANTI-WAR? perverse. All I can say is your "shame" is nice and all, but grow up, realize we can't all just get along, that communism failed a long time ago. I don't hate Indians, Jews, or White Americans. I just don't want to hear about which group is getting she shaft this week, I don't want to spend the rest of my life redistributing the money I EARN to the under-served NON-CITIZEN group of the week. You want our help, we'll annex you. Thanks for the land and the resources, here's your tax structure. Sorry, this is not only offtopic, it's also flame-bait, but it "needed to be said."
