Ubuntu Hardy Heron vs Netgear WG511 v1

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

Dear Ubuntu. Please don’t go blacklisting the prism54 driver on me again? kthx!

For some reason, the v1 of this card (aka the Made in Taiwan version) doesn’t seem to work with the new p54 drivers…

For reference, in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist change this:

# replaced by p54pci
blacklist prism54

to this:


# replaced by p54pci
#blacklist prism54
blacklist p54common
blacklist p54pci
blacklist p54usb

I mentioned Morfik a while back, the little Tassie company that was taking on Google with a number of patents.

Today they were featured on Qik, interviewed by Scoble himself. Check it out.

Digital Tasmania Launched

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Telecommunications in Tasmania pretty much sucks. It’s expensive, choice is limited and we’re at the mercy of a certain incumbent with monopoly on interstate connectivity. The state government is dragging its feet and has been for the last 5 years, wasting our money in the process.
We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it any more.

It’s Digital Tasmania. Come, join us… *
