Access point with Raspberry Pi and rtl8192cu dongle

On Thursday ethernet ports (WAN and LAN1-4) in my Asus WL500GPv1 router have completely died, so I needed a replacement. Hopefully, recently I've got Raspberry Pi, so I decided to use it as a router. I've got TP-LINK TL-WN821NC USB stick from local store which is based on RTL8192CU chipset. Unfortunately, its driver doesn't work with vanilla hostapd, but requires patched ancient version of hostapd from Realtek . I'm using Archlinux on my rpi and I've found manual how to setup AP using this USB stick  here , but I don't want to overwrite binaries from repository packages, since it's not a sane way, and it can (and will) be broken by hostapd update. So I prepared a package, here's source package (just unpack it and build with makepkg directly on rpi), and here's binary package for armv6h (you can install it with pacman -U). I can't put PKGBUILD in AUR, since there's no stable hosting for Realtek's hostapd. If anyone is willing to host...

Migration to xubuntu

Recently I moved from kde to xfce on my laptop, but as xfce doesn't look pretty in gentoo (actually, it looks awful), I decided to move to xubuntu :) System is pretty fast now (much faster than it was in kde). Here's gtk analogs of kde apps I was used to: claws-mail (instead of kmail) exaile (instead of amarok) tilda (instead of yakuake) I've created ppa with some custom packages: tilda with changed shortcuts for switching tabs, default ctrl+pgup/ctrl+pgdn are used in mc and vim, so I changed them to shift+arrow, however it would be better to add option in gui for changing these shortcuts swt-gtk-3.5.2, it's required to fix rendering issues in tuxguitar Btw, there's arm toolchain in ubuntu repository :) xubuntu rocks!

One step closer...

One more annoying issue was fixed tonight :) No more LCD flickering after resume! :) Problem was in timer1. rx1950 uses it somehow for clocking LCD (Don't know how :)). After booting from windows, linux reuse windows' timer settings, but these settings were lost after suspend/resume. Solution is simple: reconfigure timer1 in rx1950_lcd_power (some bits of TCON, TCFG0, TCFG1, regs TCNTB1, TCMPB1). Patch will be available as soon as embedded.net.ru get up :) One more hint: To get rid of 270 degrees screen rotation add following lines at the exports section  of /etc/init.d/opie: export QWS_DISPLAY=LinuxFb:Transformed export QWS_SIZE=240x320
