Alcatel USB ADSL and FreeBSD - Does it work?

[d@ m@d m00]

Another of my posts where the subject says it all...

Moo, you lazy bugger, why not try it and see?
I'll come round and show you how it's done after my line gets installed next week and I've worked it out myself.
In the meantime go and read the forums here.

 

[d@ m@d m00]

Gah shut it you
I'm gonna try it, I've found some BSD drivers, I just got to get BSD to actually install first... Me being a lazy bugger I haven't done it yet, but I should get round to it in the end

 

[d@ m@d m00]

Well, I tried installing FreeBSD the other day, but it gave me a fkin page fault half way through the install... Fk knows why, I'll try it again when i can be arsed, and if it still don't work, I'll try Linux...

lol

there's a linux-dsl script floating around somewhere. maybe you can adapt it. do a search for it on freshmeat.net

 

[Testin da Cable]

the bsd's are pretty hardware sensitive tho
netbsd screams at me about 'lost interrupts' on my firewall but linux installs just fine

 

[d@ m@d m00]

Oi I have things under control, go back under your rock damnit
I have the drivers n stuff already

 

[old.Reverend Flatus]

Me being a lazy bugger

See, I was right

I'll try it again when i can be arsed

And, once again arf arf!

go back under your rock damni

Now now, don't go upsetting Mr Cable!

What you doing posting here in the day anyway? Don't you have school this week, or are you abusing the school's network again?

 

[Testin da Cable]

nah I'm at workies =P
and while posting I'm putting off proof-reading a disgusting document called "SUN Enterprise Systems Acceptation Criteria".
School is finished till I think of someplace cool to send myself heh

[old.Reverend Flatus]

No, I know you work, I meant why is moo posting during the day when he should be at school.
Oh, never mind...

 

[Testin da Cable]

'At work' or 'working' ? There's a world of difference

 

[Testin da Cable]

yup

I'm using the famed 'waiting for my laptop to recharge' excuse right now tho hehe

 

[Wij]

"Can't be arsed" is always a classic

 

[d@ m@d m00]

[Testin da Cable]

no no no you seem to have taken it the wrong way

I wasn't bitching, i was just curious as to why you were in the broadband forum, there was no intention of abuse or bitching by me. And i like i said, in my post after my initial on = ''But then again, what am i doing here!!!'', i was just having a little firendly joke

 

[Testin da Cable]

aha my mistake
I was grumpy and shouldn't have taken it out on you.

To explain a bit: I read most of the tech forums here on BW as I'm a bit of a tech myself. Usually the OS and webserver ones. I also read the "help" forum and try to assist sometimes, but as you've prolly noticed I usually hang out in the "general" forum.
