Cocoa Break

Ok. Geek moment here. Solved troubleshooting on Linux and want to share my solution.

Error for wireless request “Set Mode” (8B06) : SET failed on device wlan0 ;
Invalid argument.  Determining IP information for wlan0…
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

If you received such an error on your laptop or desktop when you were activating your wireless card on CentOS 5.4 or perhaps any other Linux operating system, you probably need to install a few things.

Took me a whole day to realize that the latest drivers and dependencies for the Wireless Cards are not included in CentOS. I just switched from Fedora which already came with the Wireless stuff!!!

These are the few steps that MIGHT help you if your problem were exactly the same as mine.

My wifi hardware is: Intel Pro Wireless 3945 (iwl3945)
You can find full specification for my system by searching for Fujitsu LBS7110 notebook.

Please take note that almost everything was done in the terminal mode.

Step 1:Install yum priorities

yum install -y yum-priorities

Step 2: Install RPMforge

Download the rpmforge-release package. Choose one of the two links below, depending on your architecture. If you are unsure of which one to use you can check your architecture with the command uname -i

• i386 http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
• x86_64 http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

I used CentOS’s GUI Software Installer to install the rpm packages. There will be a prompt and I clicked “Install anyway”.

You could also do it in the terminal by doing the following:

rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.*.rpm

Security warning: The rpmforge-release package imports GPG keys into your RPM database. As long as you have verified the md5sum of the key injection package, and trust Dag, et al., then it should be as safe as your trust of them extends.

rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.*.rpm

Next simply install the drivers ( Click here if you are on other Network cards ) and enable the NetworkManager:

yum install iwl3945-firmware

chkconfig NetworkManager on

service NetworkManager start

Restart/Reboot your laptop or desktop and you will see the wireless working!

Ok, I know most of you might have heard a lot about fake AIDS cure but what I am writing here is the truth and I have clear documentation which you can look for yourself to confirm.

Firstly, we all have heard lots of stories about the “Super Power’s” plans to take over the world discretely and slowly one step at a time. We’ve seen the case of Middle East, Japan, Vietnam and in a matter of time the Europe if they don’t watch their backs.

What I am to unfold now should not be taken lightly.

All you have to do is search for U.S. Patent #5676977. You will find the details of how AIDS can be cured. Look for it here at their patent search engine. Wake Up people! HIV didn’t originate from an African Monkey out of nowhere. It is a synthetic virus invented by them and a cure is also discovered by them.  http://patft.uspto.gov/

Ok this is kinda freaky. Man on Mars?! What do you guys think? Is that really a man? I really wonder how that man could survive without food, water and a woman!!!Let’s try to come out with a logical reasoning for that clip… I came out with a few ideas of my own. Here are my thoughts.

1. NASA faked the whole thing. They could have gotten the Astronauts to put a figure there and take a picture from a distance.
   Why? They probably did so because they needed some fame since they’ve been having lots of expeditions and research done but have yet to show any form of result. Nor are they showing that what they are doing is something good for human kind. They probably also fear that Asia might take over them soon since China and even Malaysia are now having their own space expeditions.
2. It was just a rock?
3. It was a fossilized creature that was also made from the image of GOD? Probably from their most recent “Ice age” or when the big asteroid hit Mars?
4. NASA accidentally took a picture of the Gobi desert instead of Mars.

Oh well, I don’t know how it works but I have a strong feeling that my point number 1 is the most probable reason. What do you think?
