Oh no, I swear this has *got* to be the last thought of my night. I have to get off the internet toute suite and sleep sooo bad. But. i was just thinking. Like, outside of Puppy in general, just thinking structurally. If someone hacks my live cd session, my whole os is in ram, is it possible to hack...

Okay so after searching the internet some and trying stuff myself some, I really can't say for sure that this will help anyone. For some people out there, disabling n worked, for other people, disabling bt coexistence worked, for some folks setting power level worked, for some folks all of it worked...

Oh wait - mikeb - good luck with that big toe. Uh, I mean left toe.

Thank you guys, for your bringing the knowledge. ie secure until you decide to do otherwise. Yea, that right there, that's like my experience. Like, early on, one day I rode around the internet with a mounted hard drive, because I thought an "X" on the icon must mean it was *un*mounted. Si...

no this is the bit where it whizzes past you going through every file on a usb stick to see if it can run anything and will give it a go while you sit there and watch your system melt Oh! *That!!* Yes I've experienced that! Man I hate that! That darned thing used to drive me nuts! Yes, I get you. S...

autorun.inf files are not executed Nice. Makes sense. Oh yes I forgot that business where Windows is set to try and run anything it finds on removable media Yea I think here we used to have - what's it called, plug-n-play? - disabled, not sure what happened. Rox seems ok for me, it's unfamiliarity ...

Yea, could be. Me, I'm just a new guy & don't know much, but I'm trying to be careful and learn. This afternoon this was all on my mind a lot & I thought well let's find out what happens if I throw caution to the wind. Now keep in mind, this isn't a 'I'm being hacked my some nefarious baddie...

Hi folks, I've been a windows xp refugee for the last 6 months or so & don't have much experience, but I have been trying to follow the "best practices" as mentioned on the wiki & some guidelines from here. It's worked out pretty well for me, I'm pretty happy. At work yesterday we ...

Joking aside and such, they both seem really smart & I bet them comparing notes would be fascinating.

Ok so the results of experimenting a little more with this seem to be: If you're running in ram only or have no save file, modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 bt_coex_active=0 power_save=0 auto_agg=0 swcrypto=1 power_level=1 produces a result for me that's great. If I rmmod iwlwifi and then do the above,...

Yea, could be. I'm unsure. I think I've read that if you want to use a different driver, rmmod [old driver] needs to happen first. Maybe it's changing the parameters of the driver, rather than loading it again. I think it's also possible to create a *.conf file inside /et/modprobe.d directory and ad...

Awesome. Hope it helps some. Yea that rmmod iwlwifi first might be a good idea, I haven't tried that yet, or tried some of the other options with modprobe yet. When I did this without the rmmod, the difference was immediate & very noticeable, so it did 'some'thing for me. I'll try to experiment ...

If you have a machine that uses the iwlwifi driver & notice connecting to wifi is slow - or you experience disconnects - it may be because of a bug in the driver itself. Typing this into a console solves it easily for me: modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 bt_coex_active=0 power_save=0 auto_agg=0 sw...

Yea, Wired posted an article about this too, here: http://www.wired.com/2014/07/usb-security/ ... it caught my attention because I do like to use a usb Puppy, it's so much smaller than a cd. The comments section seems to have some interesting points - don't know enough about it to know what's what, ...

Dear rerwin, between the frisbee 1.2 and the updates to dhcpd, you really made a big difference to how easily my wifi works & connects to open networks with slacko 5.6! Thank you! Would you like to get married?

Hey, I also have one of those Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300's - in this laptop I'm on right now, an HP Elitebook. I've been using Slacko 5.6 and 5.7 & those seem to select the iwlwifi driver. Seems to be working alright for me. Sometimes it's slow to connect to an open, unencrypted...

I picked up a used HP Elitebook that has one of these Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300's in it. I've been using Slack0 5.6 & 5.7 & it works pretty well. Uses the iwlwifi driver. Sometimes it's slow to connect to an unencrypted signal when using Frisbee, but after a connection is m...

Hello gcmartin!

At a glance, it looks like 3.7 doesn't intend to be cross-platform but just for desktop. But they have released versions 2.1.1 for Android, 2.1.2 for iOS phones, and 1.0.2 for Windows Phone 8, I'm not sure what those versions are built like though.

Hello, OscarTalks! Yes I must say, it works *wonderfully*! Thank you so much for your .pets! I really must recommend trying the stun server option for anyone encountering registration errors. I agree with you 100% - it's so easy! Your .pets are very nice too because they already give us the choice b...

Running Slacko 5.6 & 5.7, the xv .pet worked really well for me on an HP Elitebook. Thank you! When I tried to login / register an sip address using public university wifi with a dynamic ip address, I would get an error that said "registration on <sip:blahblah.net> failed: no response timeo...
