In this tutorial I will give some guidelines to getting wireless up and running in Slackware (in my case, version 12.2). I say "guidelines" because I don't entirely understand the Slackware system and are more familiar with Debian; but wanted to try something new! My particular card is an Engenius EPI-3601S and it uses the Atheros 5001X+ chipset (chip number AR5211). A particularly nice feature of this card is its 600mW power rating, which is far beyond that of big-box store cards by manufacturers like Linksys, D-Link, etc. The driver for this chipset is actively developed by the Mad-WiFi Project and is known as the 'ath5k' driver. |

I am currently developing an artificial neural network analyzer against the stock market. While still in the very early stages, the program can successfully parse a major market's online database and run the current snapshot of the DB through a feed-forward neural network on a nightly basis; generating various buy/sell positions for each stock in the major market. Also nearing completion are various auxillary database-integrity checkers and performance measuring utilities. Given the size of the project and my solo work on it, I am staying pretty "closed envelope" on this one until it reaches a "ready for market" status. I'll post various updates as work progresses. :) |

Setting up a NFS (Network File System) protocol in Debian is quite easy. Essentially there is two ways of implementing
NFS; a software way that runs in user-land memory, and a kernel way that runs in kernel-land memory. I personally
believe the kernel approach is more stable and fast, so it is what I discuss below.
First use apt-get and install portmap; which is our daemon that will dictate what computers to allow/deny privelages to.
And also install nfs-kernel-server.... The NFS daemon server that runs in kernel-land. |

Here I will show you how to set up WDS (Wireless Distribution System) using OpenWRT and two OpenWRT-compliant
routers. WDS is particularily useful for people who live in a home where wiring through the walls is not feasible, and while
wireless is an option, there may be cases where either A) The access point is located too far for the conventional
wireless USB or PCMCIA card, or B) You want wired computers connected to a wireless router which will inturn connect
to another wireless router. Yet only one acts as a DHCP server, thus allowing you to extend your network in a more
convenient way. |
