# adding a vlan to a network interface:

# configuring the vlan:

The Huawei E352s-5 is being marketed as web’n'walk Stick Fusion III by German Telekom. This blog post describes how to use it on Linux systems with the distributions Ubuntu and OpenWrt.
You can use lxsndtest on Linux based computers to test the performance and quality of your soundcard. You should read its user guide for help on installation and usage.
lxsndtest ist based on the older xsndtest (which you can compile using some hints from this build formula for Gentoo).
You may use speaker-test to check your speakers.
The following collection of commands shows how to migrate your partition formatted with ext3 to an ext4 filesystem. The safest way is to do this when the partition is unmounted. However, if the partition to convert is where the root filesystem of your Linux distro is stored and you don’t have access / time to boot from a Live CD, you can also do the conversion while simply remounting the root filesystem read-only.
I’m not going to go into detail why you would want to migrate to ext4. Check Wikipedia et.al. for good reasons.
Installation on Ubuntu / Debian:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install radvd
A typical radvd configuration file /etc/radvd.conf to advertise the prefix 2001:db8:2530:fa13::/64 for autoconfiguration on the network connected to the interface eth0 and to advertise the machine running radvd as a router for the local network (based on the routes on this host) would look like this:
interface eth0
{
AdvSendAdvert on;
AdvManagedFlag off;
AdvOtherConfigFlag off;
prefix 2001:db8:2530:fa13::/64
{
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvRouterAddr off;
};
};
On Ubuntu / Debian:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install autossh
On Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S autossh
On Mac OS X:
brew install autossh
Let’s suppose you want to use a reverse tunnel using SSH with a command such as
ssh user@some-host.com -R 5022:localhost:22
So instead you should type the following (where -M 5122 is a port on the remote machine that autossh uses to monitor the connection):
autossh -M 5122 -N -R 5022:localhost:22 user@some-host.com
or let autossh rely on the built in connection monitoring capabilities of SSH; also start autossh as a daemon (-f) which only works if you have your SSH key on the remote machine:
mkdir -p ~/Downloads/3D3dxware-linux-v1-6-0.x86_64
cd ~/Downloads/3D3dxware-linux-v1-6-0.x86_64

sudo ./install-3dxunix.sh
And answer the questions in the following way:
Unfortunately, the driver needs an older version of a library which is not being shipped with Ubuntu 11.10 anymore (/usr/lib/libXm.so.3):
$ sudo /etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -d usb

There is a nice tool to configure the keyboard including a kernel driver provided by the Gnome15 project. Here is how you install it:

Most of the standard network utilities of Windows will also work for IPv6 related matters. Standard utiilties are:
The vpn software tinc has full support for IPv6 according to its projects’ web site.
Here are the features in short:
On OpenWrt Routers:
opkg update
opkg install tinc
On Ubuntu / Debian:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install tinc
On Mac OS X using Homebrew (you also need TunTap for OS X):
