Hi all, I remember reading something about a madwifi IRC channel, but now I want to put it in the FAQ, I can't find it!=20 Does anyone know the address, or better still know the address _and_ whether or not people actually use it? Cheers, matt --=20 Time exists so that everything doesn't happen at once,=20 space exists so that everything doesn't happen to you. Matt Foster | http://www.mattfoster.clara.co.uk=20 |

There was some talk about it months ago: -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Madwifi-users] Re: super-secret IRC?

But it could be nice to have one... if there are no objections I'd go ahead to register and set it up, either on FreeNode or on OFTC. ------ Original Message End ------ I've tried #madwifi on FreeNode and I'm all by myself there... anyway, I've registered the channel for now... I think it's the better choice than OFTC, which isn't that well known, compared to FreeNode. (There's no channel #madwifi on OFTC either). Maybe we could jump-start the channel from here? I just need some company :) Regards, Alex |

The interesting stuff is the servername "irc.freenode.net" and the channelname "#madwifi". Applications include kvirc, irssi, bitchx, ircii, xchat, zircon, trillian, mirc, and so on and so forth...

I think if i saw something like. In irssi type '/connect freenode', and then '/join madwifi'. The people who really haven't got a clue won't get too stuck.

There are so many different IRC clients and different distros come with different clients. For example, none of the RedHat installations I have access to have the 'irssi' you mentioned below. Personally I use XChat, Gaim and Mozilla for IRC in graphical mode and sirc for IRC in textmode. I think the best thing to do is to give people the particulars Alex mentions below and let them figure out how to use whatever particular IRC client they have access to for themselves. Most are well-documented with their own help or help available on the internet. If you *really* want to make it easy for people to be on IRC, somebody could set up a WebIRC server and then just link to it. CGI-IRC (http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/) is a good example of such a tool.

CGI-IRC > (http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/) is a good example of such a tool. I've done exactly that. Please see section 1.5 on http://www.mattfoster.clara.co.uk/madwifi-1.htm for further instructions. I'd like to keep the exact details away from the list, because I don't want to attract _too_ much attention to the interface. I'd also appreciate, if you won't mention it directly here on the mailing-list :) Best regards, Alex |

The interesting thats precisely the problem ... ( too much info ) - it'd take me years to go thru all the google results and a few seconds reading your very helpful reply ... thanx .. - i usually read thru the first 10 pages of google results but that can sometime take a few confusing seconds and forget it or take a full day looking for the gory details > stuff is the servername "irc.freenode.net" and the channelname > "#madwifi". Applications include kvirc, irssi, bitchx, ircii, xchat, > zircon, trillian, mirc, and so on and so forth... that's all i wanted to know ... and matt's reply too irc stuff is way below my radar screen .. but for completeness, its probably a good thing to add to the doc's .. - added the irc quickie http://madwifi.net/ML c ya alvin |
