External Bugzilla References lists FreeDesktop.org twice

Hi,

External Bugzilla References lists FreeDesktop.org twice with the same
URL. Please remove one of the entries from bugzilla.

Thanks,

If your question is "Why would anyone want HostAP?" then I think I can come up
with a scenario or two.

For example, you're at a meeting/seminar/whatever where a bunch of non-techies
are using laptops, there's only 1 ethernet port to the room, and no one has
networking equipment. People are muttering to themselves, "Grumble, grumble,
grumble, I wish I could connect to the Internet... but there's 30 laptops and
only one ethernet hookup."

You, being the Geek God you are, say, "Never fear, I run Linux!" You grab your
trusty laptop and ethernet cable (which you never leave home without), you
plug in, turn on, and using HostAP turn your computer into an instant access
point, complete with NAT and DHCP, and maybe even Squid. The others in the
room--all WinXP users with MBAs and such--say "Wow, It's working! I didn't
have to put in any configuration at all! No AdHoc networks, no IP address
configuration. This is amazing!"

Then an old man with a pointed hat and long gray beard stands up, points his
finger and says, "What manner of man is this, who has such great power over
networks and technology? We all have laptops too, and yet only he could
perform such a feat and save us all!"

You smile with that all-knowing sort of air, and say, "I run Linux! Behold the
power of Fedora!"

You tell a good story, ... but it's true, running in AP mode is quite
useful.  Although the hostap drivers are not the only drivers that can
run in AP mode even today... I hope that eventually all drivers of
AP-mode-able hardware support it.

There is nothing quite as satisfying as the sound of laptop lids
slamming shot on a long airplane flight as your wildcard dns & httpd
setup serves up copies of goatse to travelers who moments before
thought they were quite lucky to pick up "PaneraBread" at 50,000 feet.
;)

(just kidding, of course)

Are HostAP drivers in upstream mainline kernel?  No?  Then they won't be
in Fedora kernel.  See Fedora Extras.

Which looks like a duplicate of

 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81749

which I closed when I opened

 https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1019

I haven't taken the time to update the driver rpm to match the latest
kernel module package guidelines, but I have current(-ish) versions of
the old package here:

 http://apt.kspei.com/fedora/4/i386/SRPMS.kspei/
 http://apt.kspei.com/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.kspei/

FWIW, hostap is still by *far* the best driver for Prism 2 wireless
cards, even ignoring the AP functionality.

ustring problem

Hey all,

while working on a wrapper for gdl I ran into a problem with
Glib:ustring. The following "program" gives a compile error.

#include <gtkmm.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        Glib::ustring tmp;
        return 0;
}

The error is;

g++ -g -c `pkg-config gtkmm-2.4 --cflags` main.cpp
/usr/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm/ustring.h:236: error: field initializer is not constant
make: *** [main.o] Error 1

The lines in ustring.h that the compiler complains about are;

    235 #ifdef GLIBMM_HAVE_ALLOWS_STATIC_INLINE_NPOS
    236   static const size_type npos = std::string::npos;
    237 #else
    238   //The IRIX MipsPro compiler says "The indicated constant value is not known",
    239   //so we need to initalize the static member data elsewhere.
    240   static const size_type npos;
    241 #endif

The following RPM are installed on my x86_64 (running in 64bit mode)

Re: ustring problem

OK after recompiling the srpm from
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/SRPMS/glibmm24-2.6.1-1.src.rpm
on my system it works correctly. During the configure of i can see the
following line ;

checking whether the compiler allows a static member variable to be initialized inline to
std::string::npos... no

which seems to do the trick, the question is why are the binary rpms not
working, are they just compiled with a older/different compiler ?
