Plugged in again

Got vlc installed on linux after some hiccups with rpms. Installed few modules by hand got the rest of rpms and finally got it running.

Also we have got back internet connection - now with provider - prime-tel .. we got it last friday and saturday cyta (the provider who owns the line) disconnected it .. hence a few days without internet .. then we got it back yesterday. One thing which was pending was the wireless router config. I had connected the cable from the modem to the router in the wrong port. Instead of connecting it to the internet port , i connected it to client port of router. Hence my modem was trying to be a client of the router .. all ulta .. i just checked it now and switched .. right on target , i am on wireless and connected to internet ..
There are still issues with wireless and linux .. now with wireless security disabled, kwifi shows me the signal strength and other stuff .. but does not connect to it saying that WEP is on even though it is disabled and does not connect citing WEP mismatch .. I am not using WEP .. i need to get that info right to linux :-)

The speed is slow compared to the lan cable connection over the wireless lan .. need to do some investigation on it ..

will look at these later .. time to go to bed now ..
