vodafone EasyBox Thinkpad Compatibility Settings

When moving into the new flat I replaced my Fonera Router with a vodafone EasyBox 812. Using wireless on my ThinkPad W500 laptop the connection dropped and reconnected sometimes, kind of without any reason. Sometimes it just reconnected fine, sometimes it won't reconnect and I had to wait a long time in between - turning on and off the wireless switch etc.

In some forum posts I read that disabling the "mixed mode" capability and adjusting the QoS setting should help.

I just bought a LogiLink IP camera and wanted to get the pictures directly from a plain URL, but that was somehow not documented.

Workaround for the regularly Vodafone Mobile Broadband crashes on OS X

These days when I am using the companies UMTS on my MacBook using a USB UMTS stick (similar to http://shop.vodafone.de/Shop/datenprodukt/vodafone-usb-stick-k3765-hv/) I get from time to time an error from the Vodafone Mobile Broadband application saying, that it could not connect to the internet (and "please restart the application", but this does not help).
What helped are restart the netmgrd process, it is done with following commands in the terminal:
  • first get the process id with the "ps" command:
{{{
ps -Af | grep "netmgr"
0 29 1 0 0:57.89 ??

Getting the current IP address from the Fonera Box

I wrote a little script to get the current public IP address from the Fonera status page.

Creating a screencast video on OS X with free of charge software

I had the task to record a short screencast. My plan was to do it on my MacBook as it has a decent performance (and no problems with the audio in the virtual world client as my Ubuntu laptop). On Windows I know the free and good software CamStudio.

(that is a cross post from my IBM internal blog)
