Atheros Wi-Fi goes open-source, Linux friendly

Choice quote:


What it all boils down to for desktop Linux users is that you can look forward to being able to wirelessly network any Linux on any laptop or desktop without a second thought. It's another great day for Linux users.

At long last, Atheros has opened up the last binary barriers to making completely open-source, Linux-friendly drivers for its popular Wi-Fi chipsets.

Cross Platform CGI (in Perl) Development?


Hi:

    Scenario:
    The deployment server (in Unix) is somewhere in United Stated. Using ssh / vi (no VIM, yuck)
to edit CGI scripts is inefficient due to the distance not to mention I have to use vi (VIM is
fine). But the machine in my office  is running on  Windows XP. I already have an Apache / Perl in
my Windows machine, and I can execute Perl CGI on my Windows Apache Server.

    Problem:
    Everytime I want to deploy, I need to change the following lines:
        #!C:/Perl/bin/Perl               # Windows XP

     to 
         #!/opt/perl/bin/perl            # Unix

    Is there a better way of doing it, short of reformatting my PC to Linux (Not allowed)? :)

    Question #2:
        Similar to above question, Is there a way of doing the following:

BEGIN
{
    if ( platform is Unix/Linux) {
        push @INC, ".....";             # add Unix path to @INC
    elsif (platform is Windows) {
        push @INC< "....";              # add Windows path to @INC
}

Regards,
Ludwig

Re: Cross Platform CGI (in Perl) Development?

This may not be the answer you are looking for.. 
but why not just have PH office do the development
and maintenance of the CGI scripts under Linux/UNIX?
Use a separate Linux machine and then have developers
login to do the development.

And there seems to be this company policy that you cannot
change your Windows XP to a Linux distro....well just download
the free VMWare Server and run the Linux/UNIX of your choice.

Re: Linux on the Iphone

what about something like VMWare ESX on the iPhone? so i can run these
OSes simultaneously.

Re: Cross Platform CGI (in Perl) Development?

What is wrong editing with vi in UNIX? Fact is no VIM in UNIX and that
simplicity works fine and its not inefficient, no need of blinking or
color highlighted text. I can presume that you are used to Bash and
having a hard time to navigate around with set -o vi and expecting tab
completion to work. I will not be surprised if you user account shell
is Korn you may just need to modify your user profile to suit up what
you need.

On a phone?  A machine with very limited processing power and RAM, I don't think you want to do virtualization
on that kind of machine, especially that there are numerous complaints about the iPhone's battery life.
Plus we still don't have Linux kernel drivers for most of the juicy hardware parts, virtualizing them will
be even harder.

CUPS

Hello guys,

I need your help with configuring cups printer. I am using Ubuntu linux and RHEL 3. The scenario: a printer is locally installed in Ubuntu and can print locally. CUPS is enabled in Ubuntu and port 631 is open. Now I need to print from a remote server which is RHEL 3. I have tried to print from RHEL to Ubuntu with no avail.

I appreciate any ideas and suggestions.

Below is my printers.conf in RHEL:

<Printer ubuntu-printer>
Info Created by redhat-config-printer 0.6.x
DeviceURI ipp://172.16.175.71/printers/EPLX300
Location ubuntu-printer
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>

RHEL cups.conf:
<Printer ubuntu-printer>
Info Created by redhat-config-printer 0.6.x
DeviceURI ipp://172.16.175.71/printers/EPLX300
Location ubuntu-printer
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>


Thank you,

seekuel

Re: CUPS

Can you send the logs?

I think correct samba setup is required as well.

Hi,

You have to tweak your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf so that the following are set:

Listen printer-server-address:631
Browsing On
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow host-ip-address-1
BrowseAllow host-ip-address-2
...

DefaultAuthType Basic
<Location />
  # Allow shared printing and remote administration...
  Order allow,deny
    Allow host-ip-address-1
    Allow host-ip-address-2
    ...
</Location>
<Location /admin>
  # Allow remote administration...
  Order allow,deny
  Allow host-ip-address-1
  Allow host-ip-address-2
  ...
</Location>
