Hi all,
I'd like to play with hostapd to use a wireless interface card as a access point, but the application currently supports a fairly limited range of drivers. Having tried to research a range of prospective cards I found one (D-link DWL-G510) that seemed to have the right chipset. I bought it only to find that I actually have the revision with the same chipset as my existing card.
Most of the common cards have either the wrong chipset or have a variety of revisions which makes them troublesome to buy. Can anyone recommend a reliable way of acquiring an 802.11g card that uses one of the following drivers? # Host AP driver for Prism2/2.5/3 # madwifi (Atheros ar521x) # Prism54.org (Prism GT/Duette/Indigo)
I'm now using the tables at http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ to check chipsets, but if anyone can suggest any others that might help.
If anyone has such a card spare (or would mind risk swapping it out for another) I'd gladly trade an equivalent one that uses the rt61 driver (or rt2x00, if you're on a recent enough kernel to use it).
Thanks, Matthew
I was just wondring if anyone has any ideas. I have a reseller account which uses WHM and CPanel but whenever I try to access either, I get the error:
"410 Access Denied - The server was configured to not permit you access to the specified resource. If you believe this is in error or inadvertent, please contact the system administrator and ask them to update the host access files."
A URL I can't access is http://echo.xnoc.net:2082/
It was working fine on Wednesday but the problem started yesterday. I have tries using a different PC but with the same result but if I change to a dial up modem it works fine but I dial up using a different ISP. I have a fixed IP with my broadband ISP (Newnet).
I have contacted the helpdesk at the hosts and they have no idea what the problem could be. I also have another another reseller account with a different host using WHM/CPanel which I can access with no problem.
The only thing I could think of was that the server was blocking my IP for some reason but the host have said that they haven't blocked anything. I can access the websites okay and FTP works okay.
I'm at a total loss what to try next. Anyone any ideas?
Many thanks Tony

Are you going through a web proxy that doesn't allow things not on port 80 or 443? Does the error message you get have details of which server isn't configured to let you have access?

Thank you for reply. I am not going through a proxy. The server details at the bottom of the error is the hosts server, echo.xnoc.net.
I haven't changed any settings since it was working but I have found out that my router is playing up. It times out when I try and log into it. Could a possible problem be that the router is blocking the 401 Authentication Required header?

Can I also suggest visiting https://echo.xnoc.net:2083/ ? If you have the https stuff installed, then the secrure ports area ll one higher on whm/cpanel. Do you get failures on both CPanel AND WHM or just one?

I get access denied on both CPanel and WHM. Also get access denied with https://echo.xnoc.net:2083/ as well as webmail at http://echo.xnoc.net:2095/ .

I have just installed a USB broadband modem and get the same errors using a modem so that rules out problems with the router.

Hi Try this site http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/ They are very helpful in supplying cards and scripts if wanted. also Ubuntu 7.04 supports some of the wireless cards they sell I have used them and very pleased with service Happy hunting Barry

Only trouble is that they are selling the rt61 based cards (and for about double what I paid for mine) which in my experience are a whole wonderful world of pain in every os I've used them with (which would be Windows+Linux+Mac OS X). I hate mine so much that I've stuck a router in client mode running openwrt in that bit of the house!
