Re: 12 hours external battery pack

Just wondering... Has any progress been made on the battery-front by *ANYONE* ? My WebDT is sitting with an excellent puppy distro installed for months now. The only reason I cannot use it is not its usability, but the battery... Sometimes, I feel that WebDT-366 is better than iPad, only if it had a...

Re: Debian-Sid E17 image for the DT

quotaholic, you precisely pointed out what was wrong... cisco driver grabs eth0. Once I pointed wicd to wifi0, all sorts of wierd things happened. I then tried all sorts of combinations and then suddenly read ur post to get enlightened :) eth0 works with cisco 350 card. sorry for causing so much of ...

Re: Debian-Sid E17 image for the DT

I agree with you, wicd uses a number of tools and each of them can be a possible source for error. So lets line up what would happen and check: 1. kernel boots and pcmci  driver loads.         - This works as I can see the correct card in lspcmi 2. the cisco airo and airo_cs modules load up which gi...

Re: Debian-Sid E17 image for the DT

I saw that iwconfig/iwlist shows the interface to be managed and I see the airo_cs and airo modules in lsmod. Hence I believe that the driver is there, but may be faulty. lspcmci shows the correct card also. I see that ifconfig also shows device, and its mac id. I see that wicd cannot see the essid ...

I could not get my Cisco airo 350 card working with this image. Anyone facing similar issue?
