D-Link USB Wireless N 300 Mbps DWA-131

Por Tuareg -
Today I bought this nano USB wireless adapter,  I was planning to use it to replace the wireless card (that still works) of this very old Gateway laptop.



So far I failed and probably will not succeed 'cause this doesn't seem to work with Debian despite I found that this "revision" seems to work with Ubuntu, which is frustrating 'cause that's not the distro I want to use.


Frustation Level:  Like the old times when you had a "winmodem" and couldn't make it work.

TV Sabrent SBT-TVFM con GNU/Linux Debian (LifeView/Typhoon FlyVIDEO2000)

Ya les había platicado sobre la tarjeta para ver la tv por cable en la computadora de casa. La tarjeta es de la marca Sabrent , reconocida por el kernel de Linux como Sabrent SBT-TVFM (saa7130) con chip Philips. Tuve un problema con udev ya que las aplicaciones que instalé con GNU/Linux Debian, me decían que no pueden acceder al dispositivo /dev/video0. Esto es porque udev lo crea dentro /dev/.static/dev/video0, pero el día de hoy las aplicaciones ya pueden acceder a este directorio, yo no hice nada realmente, supongo que es debido a una actualización de kernel que hubo recientemente. Este es el kernel que tengo instalado: 2.6.18-5-686 #1 SMP Wed Sep 26 17:54:59 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux Ahora si estoy más que contento de que la tarjeta funciona bien, la he probado con: kdetv tvtime xawtv Con todas las aplicaciones obtengo imágen y sonido, únicamente me haría falta instalar "lirc" para que funcione el control remoto y verificar que puedo escuchar las estacio...

Installation of OpenWRT on Linksys EA4500 / N900 1.-  It looks like this is very important and you must not skip it!!!! Download/install last oficial firmware by Linksys Ver. 2.1.42 (Build 183584) Latest Date:  9/19/2017 Download 22.6 MB From here: http://downloads.linksys.com/downloads/firmware/FW_EA4500_2.1.42.183584_prod.img Perform the "upgrade" 2.- After the reboot, perform the install of OpenWRT. I'm not sure but my attempts to install the very latest firmware failed, so I used the version mention on this chatroom: https://forum.archive.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=60649&p=1#p304557 Post #21: Edit: that image you're running now might be old enough that you should flash the factory firmware first, then flash with https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots … actory.bin . The board name changed from ea4500 to linksys-viper, which will prevent sysupgrade from accepting the .tar image. Link to the file: https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapsh...

If you have to work with Brocade Switches and for some reason you need to find out the ip and/or the mac address of the network interface, you might have to use (at least) two options, depending on the model/firmware version. To find the IP: broc01:FID340:admin> ipaddrshow SWITCH Ethernet IP Address: 1.1.2.4 Ethernet Subnetmask: 255.255.240.0 Gateway IP Address: 1.1.2.1 DHCP: Off To find the MAC address (two options): broc01:FID340:admin> ifmodeshow eth0 but depending on the model/firmware version you might get this output: "This command is deprecated in Fabric OS v8.0.1. Please use command ethif." broc01:FID340:admin> ethif --show eth0 eth0 interface: Link mode: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok MAC Address: 00:F8:72:90:56:36 eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:F8:72:90:56:36           inet addr:1.1.2.1  Bcast:1.1.2.255  Mask:255.255.2255.0           UP BROADCAST R...
