You can also replace the bcmwl5.sys file, usually located at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS with the one provided by linksys, just download linksys drivers from here , extract them, disable your network adapter, copy the new bcmwl5.sys (make a backup of your own bcmwl5.sys just in case...) and activate the card again. It is a temporary solution but it's better than nothing and you don't change the name of your network card. Tested on a Dell MiniPCI 1300 WLAN and it works.
Are they affected? Ndiswrapper directly uses routines from BCMWL5.SYS so I suppose it is also affected and the bcm43xx module needs the firmware from it so maybe it is also affected. Any idea??
When I started using Linux I started with an old Slackware, some time later I started to compile everything myself and test different gcc options, and even patched some programs to use a devfs only system. About two years ago I decided that I have nor the time neither the will to keep doing it, I switched to debian unstable, as I was used to be always on the edge. Now I run debian stable in every machine, the server, the desktop and the notebook. I have compiled, adjusting by hand every option, some packages like wine and mencoder, but just because I use both to heavy filter and encode The Simpsons from DVB-T everyday and it take about 10 hours to complete the job, so every little percent is important. Everything else doesn't need such hard tuning.
Just compile speed-critical programs yourself and get everything else from a stable distribution.
As you can read here this is really old. I've using it for a long time without problems, I've even patch the linux kernel to use the minimum-safe voltage I obtained on windows. There is no performance hit, as you are just making a fine adjustment of voltage based on your real CPU instead of Intel safe adjustment based on mean CPU values.
The main benefit for me is lower temperature, I have a Dell D800 with a 2.1Ghz centrino plus a GeForce 4200Go, using also powermizer under Windows (or nvclock under linux) to underclock the GPU I get no fan activity at all when surfing or editing files. When I need power it just run faster at higher voltage (still lower than default for that multiplier).

So your privacy should be safe, or at least what I think is more important, the data.
Erasing it or even recording some random porn images before password protecting, almost every user would just discard it, but there would be some of them who pay lot of money to discover one hundred copies of goatse.... really funny!
I would say that mathematics are an invention that fit quite well with reality, but if you start with axioms you are inventing. Chess was not discovered, it was invented.
It was an out of the box dual Pentium II mainboard (from Tyan), I was updating the BIOS and suddenly my worst nightmare come true, power failed and the flashing ended. The BIOS was in an unusable state, no boot. As the mainboard was really expensive and I have no money left I went to a shop where they have lots of defective mainboards with a screwdriver and ask them for their BIOS, I get about eight nice chips, of course none of them was for my board, and none of them was for a dual mainboard.
I go back home and start trying them. Afer five failed check the sixth works! but of course only one processor detected and nothing I mean nothing! else, so no floppy, no IDE no way to flash it. I try the others but that was the only one to boot. So I recover from the bottom of my pile of OLD hardware, an ISA floppy/IDE/serial controller (I've tried with one PCI and it doesn't work either) and to my surprise although no hard disk was detected the floppy was found!!!! Time to reflash the BIOS, this time it works. The most strange thing is that the chip was from other manufacturer (I don't remember maybe my BIOS was AWARD and the chip was from ASUS? I'm not sure about this).
My next bought was an UPS, and I learned the lesson, THE SCREWDRIVER IS THE WAY:-)
Some tests and problems with gcj
on
GCC 3.0 Released
·
· Score: 1
I've downloaded and compile it (bootstrap), and I'm now doing some tests, it compiles the glibc-2.2.3 without problems, the same for XFree86-4.1.0 (with just one problem with the file makekeys.c), but gcj is not working for me. If I compile a really simple helloworld.java file and then try to execute it as native ELF code it just segfault. If I make gcj generate the.class files and then run it with kaffee java command it does work.
I've been using galeon
for quite a while and it's quite fast, it uses
gtk and only the mozilla rendering engine, I've
also got KDE 2.1.1 and konqueror is quite good,
but it feels slower. Anyway although konqueror
handles Netscape plugins quite well, I'm not able
to use RealPlayer with neither mozilla nor galeon.
It seems to me that it have something to do with
mimetypes, as the pluing only identifies itself
for.rpn files. In fact in later builds of mozilla/galeon the nullplugin crash when trying to
identify the plugin prefered for the file.
Just to report that even when compiling 5.6.1
with -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer (gcc-2.95.3/glibc-2.2.2) all tests are passed, while
with 5.6.0 some of them failed (about 1.5%).
Just that, patching against 5.6.0 will complaing
about existing lib/CGI.pm... just delete it and
it will get patched right (or so I hope, compiling
right now...)

KDE 2.1 Is Out
·
· Score: 1
Well, I've found a mirror that already has got 2.1... so you can all go for it (although after looking the diffs, nothing new after 20010222 (20010223 changes to KDE 2.2;-)
Maybe I'm wrong, but IMHO this relase, what I would better call a repackage, as most of the packages were already available in the unstable tree, is directly related to tomorrow's KDE2.1 release. Releasing a beta of the so anticipated gnome-1.4 would make people spend a lot of time testing it, maybe that if KDE2.1 appears before gnome-1.4 people would forget to test it, they don't know that our only illusion in this life is to test beta software we really like SysRq;-)
I think that people behind the GNOME project are starting to use somekind of marketing strategies, that maybe good or maybe bad, you decide, but surely they are not usual between the free software community.
I'm using GNOME mainly because I prefer C over C++, but as always competition is the mother of evolution... so keep on it!
As other have already mentioned, there are lots
of good DVD players for Linux, Xmovie, Xine and
VideoLan are my favourites. But none of them support
AC3 passthrough, in fact, there's no sound card (to my knowledge) that support this feature.
I have a SBLive! Platinum and a DTS2500 Speaker System that includes a Dolby Digital Decoder, and under Windows it really rocks, under Linux with Xmovie I just get Stereo sound.
Anybody knows of a project to bring AC3 to Linux?
ALSA is planning to include it after the release of version 0.6 but what about OSS drivers?
I think that G400 from Matrox is currently the
best choice, it has really fast 2D, high freq.
and resolution support (I have it running at
1600x1200x85Hz at 32bpp on a Sony 500PS and it
really rocks!). With Matrox you get all the
goodies of the new XFree 4.0.x, and have support
for DRM (Quake3 at 40-60fps), XVideo (DivX, BTTV,
DVD) and soon full dualhead/Xinerama support.
And the most important Matrox is a company that
really support Linux, releasing detailed info
on their products and not binary drivers that
work ocassionally.
Just my opinion, but although you are planning to
run only quake3 and need 120fps because you have
fly-like eyes you won't go wrong buying a G400 (I would suggest a MAX for the dualhead and the extra
speed, but other G400 are also very good).
I was wondering if answer or not to answer this, but you are really propagating misinformation. I live in Asturias (Spain) and I have friends who went to Barcelona to finish their university studies, just to discover that you need to speak (or at least to understand) catalan to assist to class. So I don't think they are using army or police... you are a really stupid one if you think that anybody who knows something about Spain, a democratic country, could believe that the army is prosecuting people in the streets... people like you is what make more damage to Cataluña. Keep your line of thinking, the only nazi here are you, who impose your language to everybody who goes there, even when Castilian and Catalan are cooficial there.
