Developers / LMCE core as an AP
March 27, 2008, 07:09:02 AM
Hi

Please do not try to stop me or tell me "You're on your own" ;-)

The community here is great and an AP running on a headless core would be good, I am not going to use an external AP :-)

I have a Commell LS-570 "swiss-army-knife" firewall and I have just put LMCE beta3 on there.

Some details of the box here: http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=612056

It has an atheros ABGN mini-pci wifi card installed and I am going to use this with LMCE and a Cisco 7921G (using 11a).

So I was thinking of dropping to a shell on the core downloading/compiling and installing madwifi then configuring it to act as an AP, any pointers on what else I need to do, ideally I would like the 7291G to be detected on the atheros interface and for that to work using chan-sccp-b?

Please help.

Thanks for all your help now and in the past.

Kind Regards
Richard

I would like to get the PLCBUS USB adapter and some plugin modules for AU, does anyone want to combine an order?

Is anyone aware of a supplier that can provide the AU plugin stuff?

OK thanks to the guys in the forums it looks like this is a no-go, all to do with getting IP running over bluetooth...

Assuming I use an 100m capable BT 2.0 EDR dongle on my core, the n800 supports this, can anyone help with a compatible USB dongle choice?

Hi All

Can I use my n800 as an orbiter only using bluetooth, my core has no space for a 802.11g card but it does have USB bluetooth?

I need to build up the core before trying this out.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Darren/Dan,

I am very new to LMCE :-)

Basically, I love the direction that LMCE is going, and am trying to get the ideas floating round my head in to some sort of system.

I was thinking the phidgets would be good for a form of remote telemetry, also they have rfid and other cool stuff.  I was going to leave the device control to PLCBUS but phidgets can be used for this as well.

I do have fairly good linux knowledge including installing packages, building kernels and compiling applications.

I do not have any programming experience, I am not sure how successful I would be here.

I will be around for the long term, I have a list of things todo, I will build a core as soon as I get it downloaded.

Its all great stuff and I am stoked by how helpful everyone is.

A big thanks to everyone.

Cheers
Rich

Hi Dan

Thanks for your help.

http://www.phidgets.com/downloads.php?os_id=3&fw_id=3&fw_file_id=3

So the C++ API source above could be ported used to create a DCE device?

Is this possible, phidgets.com can be used to monitor and control a heap of stuff, sensors, relays, and servos for instance.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Cheers

Hi,

I have the PhidgetWebservice21 from phidgets.com running and I have connected to it using telnet on port 5001 but I can't figure out the commands to control the socket.

Can somebody have a look at the source and help figure out how to control the socket?

http://www.phidgets.com/downloads.php?os_id=3&fw_id=3&fw_file_id=3

As a start I just want to read the value from a temperature sensor connected to the PhidgetInterfaceKit 8/8/8.

Thanks for taking the time.

Cheers

Hi

Can anyone vouch for this Chinese distributor, anyone ordered and received goods, why does he have a hotmail address I wonder out loud? ;-)

Hi Darren, thanks for the link, I have ordered it, worked out $30 AU more locally.

Hi Colin, I was just thinking of ordering the PLCBUS-1141 from http://x10-hk.com/ and something like the PLCBUS-2026U with an aussie plug to hack a demo together initially.

Hi Dan, looks all good.

Anybody any idea where we can get an PLCBUS aussie plugin module?

Thanks everybody for your help.

Cheers
Richard
