@Iszi Probably one of the reasons I didn't go the 'home router' route - my 'home network' is a pfSense-driven network, with wireless access points for the wifi
@RoryAlsop yeah I'm just a bit disappointed that people who's main drive is split between offense and defence are running it.. but hey better than nothing I'm sure
Y'know, I've never bothered to check how it actually works - does a router even bother responding to a device if it's not in the MAC filter? i.e.: Which barrier is hit first, MAC filter or PSK?
@DavidFreitag yeah, really, as just a text editor! so easy to find/replace or to edit inline and move things..once you get use dto it, your speed will increase greatly.
@DavidFreitag the thing is vi is very intuitive when you get used to the commands, because it's made for a keyboard w/ no mouse. once you get over the hump it really is awesome.
yes, i spoke just like you at one point. i was like nah i want my pico vi is too much of a PITA. then i had to learn vi because there was no port of nano available on solaris systems I had to admin. never looked back.
@DavidFreitag i thought so too! then i was able to use sed/awk etc in syntax and get stuff done real fast in a pinch. it's one of thsoe things that wasn't ever an issue until i realized it. but that's my experience
At some point, I had deactivated syntax highlight explicitly in my vim, because I tended to write C code that required syntax highlight to be readable.
There are only three kinds of beard: the one you grow when you spend the winter trapping in the forest; the one you have when you are an ambitious Grand Vizier; and the ridiculous thing that youngsters have nowadays because they want to be hipsters.
@MarkBuffalo So? What's your point? You should also search for rsa private keys while you're at it. You might want to brace yourself before you do that though.
This is why I'm hoping to port google glass code into a new product called google ass. It's the first SmartAss. It'll let you share TMI to facebook including your weight before/after poo, etc
There are a few reasons to unload a module, for example to load a new version, or to save memory. But most of the time a module gets loaded because the hardware it controls is present, and it never gets unloaded.
@DavidFreitag To put things in perspective: kernel modules are essentially pieces of code that could have been compiled statically in the kernel; their main use is to be able to make a "generic" kernel that has a reasonable size, and can still support a lot of possible hardware through loadable modules.
If you load modules explicitly at boot time, then you should consider compiling such code as part of the kernel instead of a loadable module.
@DavidFreitag It illustrates the point: if the code could be statically linked, then it is never "unloaded", so it must be so that not unloading is fine.
im just interested in what kind of scenerio you would use this in, I wont pry because if you wanted to tell me you would... BUUTTT what sector of IT do you work in? I work with avionics
ifconfig br0 192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
these are two commands i tried recently... also ensure you dont have a fire wall :/ you might need to unplugg and re plug a few times see if the dmesg comes up... it seems to be reading the device though so i doubt its the driver... any lights on the thernet port?
