F-Secure reports another linux worm has been found. Good thing I’m not running Mambo… however a patch has already been released.
I will say one thing about open source software it seems when a security issue is found it is fixed quickly.

One reason Windows might not be good on your phone
The guys a F-Secure have cool jobs but one I would not want. I know their is a reason I’m not “part of the croud” when it comes to pc’s and I definately will not follow when it comes to phones. It’s bad enoungh when a virus hits your PC, but your phone… not me. I’ll pass on Windows Mobile ®.
The first OSX virus Leap.A
Now that a virus has been found exploiting iChat on Mac OSX will Linux be far behind ???

ipw2200 firmware problems with kernel 2.6.10 and 2.6.12
After a few days without wireless figured I’d get down to trying to fix it. I’m not sure what happened with the kernel updates for 2.6.10.x and 2.6.12.x but I kept getting firmware errors in the dmesg log.
[4295079.175000] ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting. [4295082.861000] ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting. [4295086.139000] ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting.
I went to ipw2200.sourceforge.net to veify I had the latest version and to double check the configuration. So I grabbed the firmware for the version I was using and unzipped it to /lib/hotplug/firmware.
So far so good, wireless is back working and no more firmware errors in the dmesg log.
