W poprzednim numerze Przekroju była informacja o nowej książce Marka S. Huberatha “Miasta pod skałą”. Jako że “Gniazdo światów” tego samego autora ciekawą książką jest to uznałem, że i tę nabędę. W sobotę byłem w Empiku, wydałem 39.99zł i jadąc sobie pociągiem przeczytałem ~180 stron. Muszę przyznać, że wciąga i to nieżle — akcja pokręcona maksymalnie.
Wake on LAN
Few days ago I had to go from work to home just to turn on my desktop computer. Now when I have possibility to remote login to my router I tried to get Wake-On-LAN working.
My desktop PC has 3 network cards:
- 3Com 3c905b-tx (my favorite one which I use since 2001)
- SMC 9332 DST (card from 1995 year — I bought it because it has good packet driver under DOS)
- Via-Rhine 6102 (onboard — was disabled)
I installed “ethtool” and started to checking which card support WOL. First tested was 3Com one:
root@home:~# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 10Mb/s Duplex: Half Port: MII PHYAD: 24 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Current message level: 0x00000001 (1) Link detected: no
As you see — no WOL here.. So I build “tulip” module and checked SMC card:
root@home:~# ethtool eth1 Settings for eth1: No data available
It’s so old card that I was not suprised that it does not support WOL. Next step was rebooting machine, enable onboard LAN and enabling two other options in BIOS:
Wake on Onboard LAN Wake on PCI card
Started Linux and started ethtool:
root@home:~# ethtool eth2 Settings for eth2: Supported ports: [ TP MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: MII PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: d Current message level: 0x00000001 (1) Link detected: yes
And that card support WOL :) So I retired 3Com card and now VIA-Rhine is my default NIC. I added one line to /etc/init.d/hrw-misc:
ethtool -s eth0 wol pumbg
to get WOL turned on on each reboot.
On router I installed “wol” package and created one line script “/sbin/wake-home”:
wol -i 192.168.1.255 xx:yy:zz:aa:bb:cc
where “xx:yy:zz:aa:bb:cc” is MAC address of desktop NIC.
Thanks goes to Jimmy for his entry in blog.

It’s good to have WiFi
Yesterday I was able to go IRC, watch webpages without having to turn on my desktop PC (which make noise) and it was good. I found 3 new bugs in opie-irc (reported) and I think that in next few days I have to look into GPE for network software.
I got wrt54gs
Thanks to [cc]smart I got Linksys wrt54gs router/AP. Tomorrow will look how to use that little box in my “network” which currently is cablemodem ->-UTP5-> PC ->-BT-> Zaurus C760. When got it working then I could use network without running PC via WiFi card in Zaurus.

Star Wars epizod III
Dzisiaj (a w zasadzie to jutro bo seans o 00:01 się zaczyna) dowiem się jak doszło do powstania Lorda Vadera a wszystko to z powodu faktu, że idę do Kinepolis na premierę epizodu III Gwiezdnych Wojen (jakbym napisał z małej to fani by mnie zjedli) czyli na “Revenge of the Sith” (jakoś nie lubię polskich tytułów w tym cyklu — pewnie to przez fakt, że wszędzie w dokumentacji odwołania do poszczególnych części jest via ANH, ESB, ROTJ etc.. (nie wymieniam 1 i 2 epizodu bo to nie to samo co IV-VI)).
Hrw is already used
Today I registered on Mozillazine forums. As usual I wanted to have “Hrw” as loginname but this time I got “this nickname is already taken” message.
First time since I use Hrw as nickname I had to register as Hrwandil (I don’t count those places where login had to be longer then 3 chars).
