VMBuilder

I’m working on a new utility that is going to be able to create configuration files for both VMware Player and Xen virtual machines from the same tool. It’ll be written using C# on the Mono Runtime and Gtk#. I’m writing this because currently you’ve got to have VMWare Workstation installed on Linux to create machines for Player. The only utility that I’ve found that can create VMWare Player images is Windows based and doesn’t work with Wine. Hopefully I’ll have it ready for release in the next couple of weeks, the virtual disk spec from VMWare is extremely helpfull.

Fedora Core 6 and Wireless

Finally had the time this afternoon to figure out the setup of my wireless card, a Dlink DWL-G120 under Fedora Core 6.   Again i set it up using ndiswrapper instead of using the open source firmware that’s currently under development.  I did have to use the Conexant driver (the version is listed below) to get it functioning properly. The Dlink driver that’s on the CD doesn’t work with the new kernel version (and a new version of ndiswrapper).  I use the atrpms ndiswrapper packages to install ndiswrapper.
