I used Flock for the first time today, I am impressed. It’s a nice socializer and comes with capabilities of Firefox. Amazingly beautiful.

How do I change my Bluetooth ID of my Moto phone, how do I sync data using SyncML, how do I increase the loudspeaker volume beyond the default maximun, how do I flash my phone with latest/custom made firmware, how do I telnet to my Linux Moto Phone, how do I telnet/ssh from my phone, what games are fully compatible with my Moto? And all the answers of all your queries… get it on motorolafans.com’s forums.

Today I installed FC6 on my Compaq Presario V2000, had to do some tweaks to get the WiFi running. Here is what I did:

1) Install Livna RPM Repository information:

$ rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm

2) Install ipw2200 firmware:

$ yum install ipw2200-firmware

3) Add following to /etc/modprobe.conf:

options ipw2200 hwcrypto=1 associate=0

4) Add ESSID and CHANNEL in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1:


ESSID=
CHANNEL=


5) Add the KEY (WEP or WPA etc.) to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-eth1.

6) Start:

$ ifup eth1

It starting working for me, did less struggle as compared to FC5.

The Social Engineering was at it’s utmost level ;), with wifi-for-free everybody was already blogging there. It was full of LJ’ers, BLUG’ers and Yahoo!’s.

And ofcourse it couldn’t be completed without hang out at Geoffrey’s.
