Check out Cadex. They make battery chargers and conditioners, but they also have a lot of good charging information. They have a breakdown of which batteries are best for which jobs. It's worth a look.
Don't waste your time with IRMan. It is too expensive. Look at the LIRC site for instructions on building a cheap serial IR receiver. I built mine for ~$5. I got all of the parts at Radio Shack, nothing special at all.
> Most modern ATX motherboards have IR pins on them. Just get an IR reciever and you're good to go.
You're right that most of them have IR headers, but this is IRDA. It is not compatible with normal consumer IR signals like those found in remote controls.
I spend several months helping a friend to diagnose his dual PIII system. We tore our hir out trying to diagnose it. He experienced problems close to yours. He especially had problems compiling kernels. Anyway, after replacing both CPUs, the SCSI card, and the motherboard twice he finally got a completely new motherboard. It worked(and still does) beautifully. Moral of the story: when you get wacky errors, check the motherboard.
I once tried a product called InstallAnywhere. It is basically an installer for Java software. The good part is that you can distribute it with or without JVMs. If you already have a JVM it will give you the choice of using your existing one or a new one (which won't conflict with the old one).
Is the lack of promiscuous mode because of the driver, or the hardware? Does Lucent not want people putting a $200 card in their Linux box to replace a $1000 base station?
