Well i talked to my teacher about the outb() function and she will not let me use it. So i will have to actually figure out how to right an I/O driver. So would you happen to have any information on writing an I/O driver?

Thanks i will be looking through all that tommorow at school during the class i am doing it in. I was wondering though about the C code is it GPL? Also could i get your name so i could put that on it for my teacher. I dont intend to just copy your code in the end i am more using it to figure out how...

Thanks for that quick reply. I have compiled and tried that code and it seems it would work as soon as i get the breadbox and LEDS from radio shack. I found the article you talked about that tells howto do it and as soon as my school approves of the purchase i will be making it. When i was looking a...

LSD will design and program and LED Light system with the following specifications. We will define, design, and develop at least an 8 LED light display system controllable via use input. The user will have to option to turn on 1, multiple, or all lights at one. They will be able to do this from a GU...

Void Main didnt u say on the MES one time that you could program leds to light up through a printer port or something? In skool something like that came up as a project and i immdeitely thought of you and that u might have done it. If you have any info on the subject or know who did that if it wasen...

I have a dlink DWL-520. I was reading in those 2 links about maybe firmware update. I have yet to do an update for the card so that may be it. I will go check that out in a little bit. I hope if there is an update i can do it from linux cause i dont got windows on this comp and really dont want to m...

The linux box is set up as a wireless bridge. I get that set up and on all fine. The bridge then is going to plug into the switch. Then from the switch it will go to my other computers. Would i use cross over or normal patch cable to go from the bridge to the switch? I have now tried both of them an...

Thanks that was alot of good info that i actually did not know. I am just really starting tol learn about this whole networking thing. So you say i need a crossover cable then. I shall go get one from a friend untill i can get to skool and make one. What i want to do is run from the linux bridge com...

Thanks so much voidmain for that info. I got the comp set up as a brdige in no time at all. Now my trouble is with the switch i got. I dont know which port on it is uplink. i got a 12 port 3com switch from my skool. The model number is 3c16942a and i cannot find info on it at the 3com site. So would...

Thanks thats the info i needed. I will be going through this info probally this weekend and see if i can get it set up. Now i just got to go get a cheap switch.

I know what they are used for. I run a wireless network in my house. In my room i have 3 computers and my ps2. I would like them all to be able to get online but i dont have the cash right now to get one of the bridges. So i was wondering if it is possible to make one with a linux comp. i all ready ...

Right now i only have a wireless pci card so only of my my computers can get online. I was wondering if it was possible t...

What are your guys views on the Linux+ certification? I just picked a book up from the librarry on it and i am breezing through it. I am planning on taking the test come the end of summer. So far there has been little that i have not known in the book. Also for 100$ it looks like it might be a semi ...

Speed is not what i am worried about really.
