VOA News - Clinton Urges ‘Clemency’ for US Journalists in North Korea.
Two words can solve the North Korea problem.
Nuclear Japan.
Seriously, these guys are supplying nukes to anyone with the money. China needs to do more in an effort to get North Korea under control, and the threat of a nuclear Japan can get folks to take this seriously.
Belkin N Wireless USB F5D8053 (Ralink RT2870 chipset) on Ubuntu Jaunty Linux
Getting this wireless USB adapter up-and-running on Ubuntu was actually pretty straightforward. Just put the Belkin N Wireless USB Adapter’s driver disk into your CD-ROM and follow these steps:
sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0
sudo mkdir /opt/rt2870
sudo cp /media/cdrom0/InstallationFiles/Drivers/XP_2k/* /opt/rt2870/
sudo ndisgtk
In the ndisgtk GUI, point to the .inf you copied into /opt/rt2870 and save.
Reboot. When your system comes back up, the Belkin USB adapter’s blue light should start blinking. Run a sudo iwconfig and you should see an additional listing for the new NIC. Configure wireless networking as usual from this point.
Unfortunately, I don’t have true 802.11N throughput yet. Hopefully my next post will be about setting that up.
