Newtons, networks and oooh, shiny!
The cable from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dakegra arrived today. It works perfectly. I managed to download and install all the packages I need to get the emate on the 'net. Unfortunately the battery was extremely low when I started, and plugging in the wavelan card must've been the final straw because I now have a comatose newt. I'll have to wait until I get the power adaptor to charge the thing up and really give it a test drive (getting the access point working will also help, of course). All the drivers are there, I just need power to the thing to get stuff happening. Yay!
In related geek news, I also managed to get the formerly accursed mailserver at work acting as a web proxy and doing all sorts of nifty things in the fields of spam detection and virus eating. Yay^2!
