[01:13] imadori: hey guys. I would like to install from usb ... But i don t know how :( Someone can help me .. Thank You

[11:31] marcelstelian: hello

[11:33] marcelstelian: can someone help me to setup a broadband connection using austrumi linux?

[11:36] marcelstelian: join #austrumi

[14:44] dlor: i hope somebody will answer me.. i've an old laptop, with xi-300b wireless card, and trying to connect to a wpa wireless. But i get this : "failed to parse psk '""'

[20:41] dcosnet: dlor: it could be missing device firmware for that card

[20:48] dlor: dcosnet: i can connect to opened networks, not wpa :(

[20:50] dcosnet: o. no idea then

[20:50] dcosnet: i have a usb wifi-n card with a realtek chip inside that works well with the non-free drivers available on linux

[20:51] dcosnet: i also have a mini pcie wifi card from atheros that is 100% open source supported

[20:51] dlor: i dunno if there are other drivers.. i use modprobe orinoco_cs, and it works for open networks, but wpa have a problem with the key

[20:52] dcosnet: o

[20:52] dcosnet: if it is orinoco it is quite old. so old that it doesnt support wpa2

[20:52] dcosnet: that was from the WEP era

[20:53] dlor: any way to use the card with wpa?

[20:53] dcosnet: not sure

[20:53] dcosnet: but i do own an orinoco card here

[20:53] dlor: (i think that there are ' in the key that doesn't work..)

[20:53] dcosnet: in my drawer

[20:53] dcosnet: those where best known for their promiscious mode support

[20:54] dcosnet: and 100% stealth mode support for kismet

[20:54] dcosnet: and other monitors

[20:55] dcosnet: prism2 cards replaced them in that regard from 2004-2008

[20:55] dcosnet: now a days a buffalo card replaces those (most likely atheros chip)

[20:56] dcosnet: but getting an intel card is a decent idea also if you make sure it is supported

[20:56] dcosnet: avoid broadcom

[20:59] dlor: i can't change my wireless card, i don't have more..

[20:59] dlor: just need to know how to configure a wpa key with special characters..

[21:08] dcosnet: maybe put a before the '

[21:14] dlor: already tried :)

[21:16] dlor: do you have a wireless key with ' chars?

[22:44] dcosnet: currently no
