The Cube Revamped, pic self explanatory…

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.

I never took a look at any of the Live CDs, but today Ubuntu  Live CD helped me write this post. I don’t know what heppened to the OSs installed on my Lappy. Trying to figure that out.

Ubuntu Live CD Works.

Linux powered Moto Ming (Motorola A1200) was launched in India two weeks back. It’s one of the latest Linux based Moto phones. Phone looks awesome and is too delicate to handle. After beeing in my hands for two weeks it has already got a few scratches . 2 MP camera, Smooth rubber coated body, translucent cover, bussiness card reader, touch screen and really great sound quality make this phone even more must to have. Ming in chinese means crystal clear and bright, this phone proves the meaning. J2ME applications are easily installable, and Yahoo! has promised to launch “Y! Go” for Motorola phones too.

When I bought a Linksys WRT54G Version 5 around 10 months back I was hittng my head against the wall after learning that it runs on VxWorks instead of Linux. The playground I expected was lost. But Thanks to Jeremy who has written a VxWorks Killer and nicely documented it, I flashed my unit’s firmware with Linux based dd-wrt micro. Kudos to him, there is so much to look inside.

Bangalore BarCamp was organised at Yahoo! Bangalore, a super whole-day Unconference with 150+ participation. For the uninitiated BarCamp was initiated by Ross Mayfield, Chris Messina and company in response to criticism of FooCamp which was started by Tim O’Reilly.
Here are the minutes:

Chris Messina who *works* on Flock and Tara Hunt of Riya talking on Microformats, explained it beautifully, it’s use for hCard and hCalender is simply awesome.

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.
