Nagtatampo ka ba sakin? Pasensya na kung lagi akong gabi na kung umuwi, kelangan e. Pero natuwa talaga ako nung lumabas ako kanina, at nandyan ka sa harap ko. Sinalubong mo pa talaga ako. Hindi ko akalaing magkikita pa tayo ulit. Ang sarap ng ganitong pakiramdam. Nung una, hindi ako makapaniwala. Ikaw nga ba talaga ang nasa harap ko? Ikaw nga ba talaga ang nakikita ko? Blooming ka ngayon, ang kinang-kinang mo, hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang init ng iyong pagmamahal. Sana lagi na lang tayong ganito…

… o Araw.

I’ll label the category as QFTD (or KUFTAD, 2 syllables FTW), because… I like to.

For the premiere edition, I’ll share with you the quote which I think is the most momentous quote I’ve heard all my life. Srsly.

  • the vending machine spits your crisp new Php 20.00 bill several times, then accepts the old and dilapitated bill of the person behind you
  • your brand new shirt shrinks after its initial washing
  • the computer keeps insisting that 3 + 2 = 3 on a programming exercise and you can’t find the stupid mistake

Mleh. Well at least I’m home early today.

Gutsy’s version of ndiswrapper is a bit outdated (it’s at 1.45 I think, the newest stable release is 1.52. ndiswrapper-1.45 doesn’t play well with 2.6.22-14 and it’s previous patches. Compiling 1.52 from source, re-installing the Windows driver, and blacklisting bcm43xx did the trick for me. I’m now connected at 54 Mb/s (again)! Yay for me. [/EDIT 2]

[EDIT] It seems that that the 3.120.20 wl_apsta.o firmware is restricted to controlling the Broadcom 4311 device at 24 Mb/s only. I haven’t noticed other significant disadvantages of this over ndiswrapper+windows driver except for it having a poorer signal rate. You could always try ndiswrapper before trying this (as it has better wi-fi support), but since I’ve had no luck after that kernel update, I’m going to stick with this as of the moment. [/EDIT]

An update to Gutsy’s 2.6.22-14.52 linux image (generic) seemed to semi-break wpa_supplicant when used with an ndiswrapper-installed firmware for the Broadcom 4311 chipset. Although the wireless link is up, wpa_supplicant’s log shows that the card is losing it’s link (about every 10 seconds, then stays offline for 5 seconds, then goes back up again). The log shows something like so:

Trying to associate with some:mac:address:here (SSID='SSID' freq=SOMEFREQ MHz)
Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.

Although it’s not entirely broken, it’s still a pain in the ass (especially when downloading things). The solution? Enable bcm43xx-fwcutter (from the restricted-manager, or restricted-manager-kde if it’s Kubuntu), and install your card’s firmware (the generic wl_apsta.o firmware presented by the restricted-manager is usable, though you could use something from your own source). I forgot that Gutsy already has a “mature” bcm43xx support, so I didn’t really need to use ndiswrapper for my wireless card.
