After succesfully installed my new Linksys WRT160NL with OpenWrt, the next step is to configure it. As the summer is approaching and my need for Internet access in our summer cottage will arrise. The summer cottage is in the middle of nowhere so it would be handy to put a USB dongle and the Wlan router in the spot with best 3G field strength and use the WiFi to connect several computers to the router and Internet.
The 3G USB modem is a Huawei modem I bought for 20 EUR and unlocked using this guide.
I found an excellent guide describing excactly what I wanted todo but it did not work 100% in my environment so I will describe what I did to get it running. Read the guide to get background and deeper explanation of how things are done. This guide assumes that you have read the guide, basic knowledge of OpenWRT, howto edit files in a Linux environment and so on. Read the rest of this entry »

After getting fedup with the bad fon support I decided to give a new wireless router a try. After browsing internet and openwrt forums I thought that a Linksys WRT160NL would fulfill my requirements:

I have registred me to attend the open Splunk event in Stockholm. Within 24 hours I got an email telling that they do not want competitors at the event and would like to discuss the purpose of me attending.
I called the Splunk representative and told him that op5 thinks Splunk is a competitor in some cases and in some cases we have products that run in parallel at customer sites. We want to integrate op5 Monitor with Splunk because we have got the question a couple of times from customers and potential customers. My intention of attending the meeting is to get a better understanding of Splunk so op5 can integrate our products, so our customers get the products that suits them best. If Splunk wants to be part of the integration, the better.
The Splunk representative still do not want me to attend. At Splunk they will discuss this matter internally but so far, this is their view.
I would really like to make a parallel with another op5 competitor, Würth, at their event they invited op5 as key speaker and I really recommend Splunk to reconsider their decision.
I’m the happay owner of a Huawei E1750 modem and it is real easy to get it running in Ubuntu. This guide will probably work with many other 3G USB modems.
Just type from the command line:
sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch
Plug in the modem
Go to the Network manager and enter your Mobile Broadband credentials and now it works!
I found a new favorite app to my Android, mythmote.
By using it you can turn your Android into a remote control for MythTV. On the mythfrontend telnet control must be enbled and it is found under Setup-Setup-General and check "Enable Network Remote Control Interface".
The Android uses wifi to connect to the telnet server at the mythfront.
I wanted to unlock my operator locked Huawei e1750 modem. After googling I found this page in swedish.
The unlock code can be calculated by using the IMEI number, the unlock code is sent by using AT commands.
I have succesfully tested this on e1750 and e1550.
I also tried it on e220 and it did not work.

I wanted to use the Android SDK on my Ubuntu machine, mainly to grab screenshoots but also to play around with it.

54:42 W/ddms: Unable to get frame buffer: device (????????????)
request rejected: insufficient permissions for device Read the rest of this entry »
