I officially lost my hope, or why I hate the broadcom 4312 chip

After countless days during the last two years I officially give up and salute all of you that got this chip working.
I tried broadcom-wl, I tried b43, I tried compat-wireless (always the bleeding edge), I tried all the wiki's directions and in the end the best I can get is a working chip on the first iwlist scan command--- on the second I'm left with the infamous
wlan0 No scan results
and a mocking WIFI blue led.
Is the problem the router? No. My ipod and every other wireless device (Nintendo DS, other laptops, mobile phone, atomic toaster) works. Is the chip faulty? No. Windows works fine (I actually dual-booted just to dismiss that).
Maybe killing a chicken would do the trick? Who knows!
Anyway here's my specs if someone from the future can send me the driver (Beer keg reward offered )
Dell E5400 with 2.6.33-ck kernel (-arch doesn't work either)
% lspci -nn| grep 14e4:43
%0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
In the 10 years or so of waiting for wifi in my laptop I guess I can read some books or catch some fresh air.
Forgot about this
It happens even when the kernel is set to CONFIG_B43_FORCE PIO. Isn't this shweet?:D

Why won't Apple activate the FM receiver feature of the Broadcom BCM4335 chip?

Why won't Apple activate the FM receiver feature of the Broadcom BCM4335 chip?
I paid for it, it uses less energy, less bandwidth, during emergencies, we would have radio access & FEMA would like it activated.
I asked an Apple tech on chat and they said there is no FM capability on the phone. I asked if my iPhone has a Broadcom chip and they ended the chat. I had to give them my phone number twice, but they never called back with me back to answer the question. According to NPR the chip is activated in other countries.

could it be because the iphone6 don't have an Broadcom BCM4335 chip?

Lost my iPhone and why doesn't find my iPhone work

Lost my iPhone and why doesn't find my iPhone work

A friendly reminder: In order to use Find My IPhone Successfully, you need to 1. Turn on Location Services, 2. Lock Location Services (Using Restrictions in Settings, General, Restrictions) so that if some one else finds your IPhone, they can NOT turn off Find My IPhone And/Or Location Services itself! 3. Add your Mobile Me and/Or ICloud Account to your IPhone. 4. Lock Accounts (Again in Restrictions) from being changed or Deleted so that your Mobile Me And/OR ICloud Account can NOT be Deleted! 5. Look Up the Location of your IPhone Before Suspending Service to the IPhone, NOT after Suspending Service (simple common since applies here as well).

Why inconsistency in the naming of the directory for OVD?

Hello,
A consulting firm installed OVD for our company and the directory for the 2 nodes were set up as follows:
cd /u01/app/oracle/Middleware/ovd_inst1/diagnostics/logs/OVD/ovd1
cd /u01/app/oracle/Middleware/ovd_inst2/diagnostics/logs/OVD/ovd1
On the first node, the directory was named ovd_inst1 and down into the logs directory, the subdirectory was named ovd1.
For consistency why wasn't the second node logs directory named ovd2? Instead it was named ovd1.
When I asked the consultant who did the installation/configuration, I was told he was not given an option by oracle to name the logs directory on the second node as ovd2.
Is this correct?
When I compared the installation/configuration to the one done for OID, this is what I noticed.
/u01/app/oracle/Middleware/oid_inst1/diagnostics/logs/OID/oid1
/u01/app/oracle/Middleware/oid_inst2/diagnostics/logs/OID/oid2
Why can't we make the OVD installation/configuration naming the same way as OID?
Thanks
Edited by: user12049102 on Aug 24, 2012 3:55 PM

no, you should be able to handle these instances thru 'Oracle Process Manager Control' opmnctl in parallel, example:
To start the first Oracle Virtual Directory component, use the following:
$ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/opmnctl startproc ias-component=ovd1
$ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/opmnctl startproc ias-component=ovd2
To start all Oracle Virtual Directory components, use the following:
$ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/opmnctl startproc process-type=OVD
maybe he did registration into both nodes for the same ovd hostname, so it will show into logs only values of one host.
Example of registration process:
Execute the opmnctl registerinstance command on both OVDHOST1 and OVDHOST2:
ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/opmnctl registerinstance -adminHost WLSHostName -adminPort
WLSPort -adminUsername adminUserName
For example, on OVDHOST1 and OVDHOST2:
ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/opmnctl registerinstance -adminHost idmhost1.mycompany.com
-adminPort 7001 -adminUsername weblogic
Command requires login to weblogic admin server (idmhost1.mycompany.com)
Username: weblogic
Password: *******
I hope this helps,

Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3

As said in the title Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3. I have tried everything (uninstalling AIR, reinsalling it etc) I can think of but nothing makes it work. This image shows what I get in return every time I try to install the app. My PC meets all requirements to run Adobe AIR. Why is this occuring? I have the current version of AIR.

Hi oxide9999999999,
For the moment, you have to install the version of AIR linked from their site: http://www.avatarmovie.com/desktop/index.html
Hope this helps,

Why not email the answer to reset password

Why not email the answer to reset password

Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

I wiped my computer and iTunes did not remember songs ect when reinstalled it and have I lost all my songs. Doesn't the Apple ID sign in keep all your details??

I wiped my computer and when I reinstalled iTunes, none of my songs ect were listed. Have I lost all my songs for good and need to redownload and copy my CDs???
Why doesn't the Apple ID remember everything for when you change computers or do a wipe? So frustrated and unhappy now.

Songs you upload into iTunes via MP3 file or CD are stored locally. You would need to do those again if you wiped your hard drive (assuming you didn't have a backup of your iTunes library)
Songs you download through iTunes are downloadable again with your ID at no additional charge.

How to create a cube/ods/infoobjects etc..and also why to create the same

Dear Friends
how to create a cube/ods/infoobjects etc..and also why to create the same objects.
thanks & Regards
Ramana

Hi Friend,
Creating Infoobjects
1. Go to RSA1 -> Modelling tab.
2. Click on Infobjects.
3. Create a new Infoarea.
4. Now create Infoobject Catalog for Characterstics and Key Figures.
5. Now create Char Infoobject under Char Catalog and Key figure Infoobject under Key Figure catalog.
Creating Cubes:
1. Right click the info area and choose create info cube.
2. Select the type of cube you wish to create and comnfirm your selections.
3. The next screen is where you actually define the cube.
4. Now you will notice the difference.
5. Place your cursur on key fig and right click and chose infio object direct input; chose your key fig for the cube.
6. Similarly for the dimension; right click the dimension and chose inbfo object direct input, chose your chars and out them in dimension.
7. Activate the cube.
Creating a ODS is also the same.(in step 1 choose create ODS)
Creating Multicube/Multiprovider
1. Right click the info area - chose create multi provider.
2. select the cubes , DSOs, info objects that you need for the multi provider.
3. On the right side of the screen, you will see all the objects that you selected and open the key fig and dimension and drag the ones you need to define the multi provider.
4. Identify the chars and key figs.
5. Acvitate the mullti provider.
Why we create them ?
Infobjects : They are fields in R/3. As we require fields in R/3 tables we require infoobjects in BI.
ODS : This actually is like a table in R/3.
Cube : This contain the Key figures.(e.g Sales quantity, Amount etc)
Hope it helps.
Regards
