can MaxisBB Starter,Advanced,Power packages

unnamed — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 19:13:36 +0800

"can MaxisBB Starter,Advanced,Power packages(the "home" packages that come with the bulky 3G "modem") be used with usb modem and for mobility?"...meaning lets say i already have my own usb modem and i just need the data package, was told i cant signup for the "home" packages bcos they are not meant for mobility, instead should signup some rm99 data unlimited package?

can anyone provide real answer to that question? i've asked maxis hotline, centre, resellers,etc and been told different stories but i understand that they're not technical enough. anyone?

SoftAP -turn wireless usb dongle into access point

SoftAP -turn wireless usb dongle into access point

unnamed — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 23:37:40 +0800

guys just wanna share this with u because today i felt kinda "cheated"...info below

i've always wanted to own a wireless usb adapter/dongle which can also act as an access point, after seeing the availability of such devices years ago, for example something like this
http://www.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/2008-11DSale21743283.htm.
another reason for the need is because i never ever got ad-hoc networking to work.

today i was in lowyat and saw this wireless usb adapter Planex GW-US54Mini2G, which on its product box has the description "Support Software AP". The product is packaged in a box similar to the dvd box that come with 3g usb modems. I thought that since the product is packaged differently than those normal dongles that come in cardboard boxes, this product must be quite special.

so i bought it for rm69. went home opened the box to find the cd and installed the windows driver software. i was curious about its mentioned support for linux so i browsed the cd for the linux driver. found it strange that the linux driver files are of the Ralink rt73 chipset!

i tested the AP mode and it was indeed working. Now, i also have a Tenda brand wireless usb that is also of rt73 chipset, plugged it in and it was working as well! so now confirmed the rm69 Planex is no diferent internally than the rm40 Tenda! Just need the configuration software that support SOftAP. i googled and found an old and discontinued SOftAP software project for Ralink wireless adapters..i have feeling that this Planex simply ripped that software.

so, just want to inform u all that u can currently get the AP-capable Tenda dongle for rm40 at SriComp/PCzone (currently also the cheapest wireless dongle in lowyat), just need to find the SoftAP softare (think the software download link in wikipedia looks legit).

hope u guys find this useful.

Exorbitantly expensive places to eat

unnamed — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 20:03:16 +0800

Hi Folks,

Today it was raining like it never rained before and my friend and I were frantically searching for a place where we could dine safely from the elements of nature. my friend suggested that we head towards Giant's in PJ but detoured to an outlet that looked seemingly interesting. Also, that placed had an ample amount of parking space which was conveniently right in fornt of the shop.

The place serves nasi padang as you will never miss it as it is located in the same row with the one and only Subway outlet in Kelana Jaya. Hungry as ever, my friend ordered away at the dishes like that was no tomorrow. We ended up with 6 dishes that comprised of small portions of the following:

1. sambal petai udang
2. 2 pieces of patheticly fried chicken (looks like their suppliers have been starving the chickens)
3. 2 plates of miserably mixed vegetables.
4. 1 plate of lousy tapioca fritters.
5. 2 glasses of mango juice.
6. 1 measly piece of mashed potato that is fried in batter.

Note: The 'plates' are as 'huge' as a teacup saucer!!!

Anyhow... we dined away not realising what awaits us... The bill, to our surprise... was a whopping RM 45.10... we do not understand how simple household dishes (that were not exceptionally tasty to begin with) could come up to such EXORBITANT prices.

Let this be a warning to all you poor blokes out there... stay AWAY from this place. This is a community service reminder to the public and we hope that everyone can share similar experiences that they had undergone so that others will not fall prey to such unscrupulous methods to make a quick buck.

P.S: Now we understood why the shop looked empty... It ain't the rain we could say for sure that's causing the emptiness.

125mbps wireless speed

unnamed — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 14:56:30 +0800

My equipment are Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 wifi router(support 125mbps) and Aztech 125mbps wifi dongle.

The problem is i cannot get the usb dongle to connect at 125mbps...it always connect at 54mbps.

It's not the access point problem (i think)..bcos i have turn on afterburner and frameburst on the DD-WRT firmware.

I've read on wikipedia that the 125mbps mode is interoperable, but on the Aztech dongle box packaging it seems to say it will only work with Aztech router.

Anyone can advise?

Umobile connection

unnamed — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:09:18 +0800

Hi forumers,
I just wanna share how i got connected to Umobile broadband using their ZTE MF622 usb modem on Ubuntu. (1st time i use 3G device on Linux)

First, u need to ensure the MF622 is in modem mode.
1)Eject the device hard disk by right-click desktop icon
2)#sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0x0001
3)#lsusb - should see 19d2:0001(modem mode) instead of 19d2:2000(hdd mode)

The /etc/wvdial.conf that i used to connect to Umobile

CODE

[Dialer Defaults]
Phone = *99#
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Command = ATDT

[Dialer umobilepin]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 7200000
Init1 = AT+CPIN=1234

[Dialer umobile]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 7200000
Init2 = ATZ
Init5 = AT+CGDCONT?
Modem Type = USB Modem
Username = none
Password = none

[Dialer celcom3g]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 7200000
Init2 = ATZ
Init5 = AT+CGDCONT?
Modem Type = USB Modem
Username = none
Password = none

Execute
#sudo wvdial umobilepin (when just attached device)
#sudo wvdial umobile

It works for me. Hope it helps someone.

unnamed — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 18:49:18 +0800

i'm asking this because my office currently blocks/doesnt allow pptp connections. so i plan to use a openvpn(SSL) network, but concern that it will also be blocked. my company i think like uses the top of the range cisco equipment. i plan to setup the openvpn server on port 21. if openvpn works, i plan to flash my home router to dd-wrt firmware that supports it. Any opinions?

playing at cybercafe vs online

unnamed — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 23:27:24 +0800

i just played at a cybercafe last week...and i got this to say

owning a public server in cybercafe means nothing...because

1.those players at CCs are casual players...wait till u beat others in the comfort of their home and equipment
2.u probably bring your own mouse and headset to CC(i've seen ppl do that..really amazing and sad)
3.u probably cant control recoil with higher ping online
4.casual players lack intelligence and aim, thats why awp is so powerful in CC
5.everyone camping/baiting/afraid to die when startmoney not 16000
