    The no-longer-confidential bug 22183 talk about bug 182078 which is still marked confidential as of now. Is this a good sign??

    Gotta love that security-by-obscurity... (well, they do love it)

  2. It's already working... on Intel to Increase Linux Support, Release Centrino Drivers · · Score: 4, Informative
    Thanks to Pontus Fuchs, Giridhar Pemmasani, Joseph Dunn and others from the ndiswrapper project, I'm actullay posting this from my Thinkpad using the Centrino Intel wireless network card!

    Since I'm running Debian GNU/Linux stable (yes, that's right, I'm on woody), I had to install a newer version of iwconfig and modify my /etc/network/interfaces file to make it work well:

    iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    pre-up modprobe wlan0 || true
    pre-up /usr/local/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
    pre-up /usr/local/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 enc 1234-789A-EF
    pre-up /usr/local/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid WIRELESS
    Of course, since ndiswrapper use the Windows XP drivers file, it does not resolve the problems about proprietary drivers. But at least, I was not stuck to wait (an eternity) for Intel to release their Linux drivers.

    This space is reserved.

    Theo is a Canadian living and working in Canada. He doesn't have any 1st Amendment rights. His rights to free speech are entirely determined by his country of residence and to a much lesser extent, his citizenship.

    For the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms:

    Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
    • freedom of conscience and religion;
    • freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
    • freedom of peaceful assembly; and
    • freedom of association.
    Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.
    Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.
    Everyone has the right not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned.

    Now, than make me proud of being Canadian and sad that the 1st Amendment authors did only think in a such US-centric way (Now I guess I should have shut up since I don't have any free speech rights heh?).
