10:06 PM

Yeah?

Now if we can get @nightcod3r

:D

Ex-wife's lawyer? I hope you're not living in the US then

(or you're hosed)

I noticed in his last paste that BOTH brcmsmac and wl are loaded

lemme have a lookµ

I am in the US and, sadly, my ex-wife is deceased about a year after the divorce

10:08 PM

Ouch!

I'm sorry.

My condolences..

even tho nightcod3r tried to modprobe -r wl, it is still there!

It was years ago

nightcod3r probably needs a reboot

I don't know what TZ he's in...

I was hoping he'd join us so we could get him fixed up in a few minutes

he said Spain, no?

Yeah...

and how about you?

EU?

10:11 PM

Complicated

UK?

Travelling...

I'm in Siberia!

>:)

Really???

Yeah...

And earlier today the snow was melting on a bus stop or something

Wow, thats where I always park the car so it doesn't get dinged

10:12 PM

:D

I saw a drop fall outside.

my wife asks, "Where's the car?" and I reply, "Siberia!"

People tell me it's normally -40 here

:D:D:D

-40 C

==-40°F

YIIIIKES!!!!

10:13 PM

-40 is -40 in both systems

that's why I didn't say -30°C

because I have no clue (by heart) how much that is in °F

-40°C = -40°F

0°C = 32°F

100°C = 200°F

(give or take)

100c=212F, doesnt it?

Yeah!

boiling water

(give or take)

yup!

are you travelling for work or pleasure or CIA?

10:16 PM

mmh "event horizon"?

or KGB?

whereas 200*F = temp just above the

Definitely not KGB:

They've been dissolved...

and recreated the next day as FSB

I speak a bit of Russian ,but definitely not Russian

and my military days are long gone too!

Oh,

I should warn you that most Americans think I'm indiscreet

so blast me if I am

meaning that you ask and tell more than many are comfortable knowing and disclosing?

Yes

Definitely!

Some people don't mind, some run away screaming! ;-)

I would never blast you but I might respectfully decline further comment

10:20 PM

:D You're a just too nice!

You sure you're not British?

>:)

Nope. I have lived in USA my whole, longgggg life. Cuurently in South Carolina

Ooh! A Southern gentleman! Now I understand...

And someone who has had his share of troubles in his life, so he stays out of trouble if he has a choice! ;-)

and raised by a southern gentleman

You got kids?

exactly! between the two of us, we have three

the youngest may be older than you

10:24 PM

I had to think of that

because i was going to say:

you were raised by a Southern gentleman

and your ex-wife died

then you're raising the kids alone too

But I was wrong apparently...

What's the politically correct term nowadays for second marriage?

No, I remarried and the kids are long since raised

Ah!

second marriage is fine

Hi there!

You're an old fart like me then!

Hey,

10:26 PM

Hey, nightcod3r!!

older, probably

Spain on-line!

Talking bout serious things, I see...

yep!

killing time waiting for you.

It's black outside, but yep!

You behind the machine that has the problem???

10:27 PM

yes I am

Soooorry for the wait!!!!

nightcod3r, please check here: paste.ubuntu.com/9701174

@chili555: I'm letting the master do his magic

OK, here it is

note that brcmsmac and wl are both loaded, even thou you tried to modprobe -r wl

so the drivers are conflicting

I see

10:28 PM

i suspect you only need a reboot and then check: lsmod

just copied and pasted from your answer, must confess...

OK

no prob

we will wait for your good report!

:)

so what's after lsmod

you rebooted already???

10:29 PM

lsmod | grep -e wl -e brcm

make sure wl is gone

OK, rebooting... see you in a minute

I'll be 48 this year...

If this works as I expect, I'll edit my answer to ask for a reboot

8)

LOLOL! My youngest child is 47!

10:31 PM

born in 1967?

yep

Not a good year for port: no vintage to be found!

;)

What was your very first job?

I mean: not mowing laWns...

worked for an insurance company in the mailroom while I went to Uni at night

Yeah... I worked in the mail-room of a bank...

at uni

first job after uni?

I'll confess: I'm a chemist! :D

Always knew what I wanted to do as a child: become a doctor or develop new medecines!

also at an insurance company as a clerk in production dept. in this case, production means sales

10:35 PM

tough learning school sales...

35 years later, I retired from that company!

That's where my brother started!

Wow!

How did you end up in computing???

I never worked in computing at all

baffled.

TOTALLY baffled!

I mean:

I'm a chemist and made my hobby my job...

there are a lot of people that don't believe me when I say this...

You're a pure hobbyist?

AND the resident expert on WiFi?

linux wireless and keeping my brain working is my hobby...well, one of them

10:38 PM

:D

Good!

You must be a little younger then my dad (80 this year)...

... and he took up computing last year...

brcmsmac 564374 0
brcmutil 15618 1 brcmsmac
cordic 12574 1 brcmsmac
mac80211 623607 2 brcmsmac,b43
cfg80211 499466 3 brcmsmac,b43,mac80211
bcma 47094 3 brcmsmac,b43

...bt that's more to meet women then for the computers...

10:39 PM

Or is it too soon to tell?

10:40 PM

paste.ubuntu.com/9701512

checking...

@nightcod3r: how long does it normally take?

That's a hefty lsmod, right there!

well, PB-2 seems to go faster than ever!

another medal for Chili555

10:42 PM
