I have a nasty WiFi dead spot at home, so to solve the problem of poor
signal I bought a pair of Devolo 'HomePlug' AC Ethernet devices. To
give you some degree of security, they must be configured with an
encryption key and the set of devices that can join your local net.

Imagine my surprise to find a Linux directory on the CD containing
source and instructions for building and installing a utility to do
this under Linux!

I just thought it worth posting good news story for once...


Darn these manufacturers making things easy for us Linux users, they're
taking all the sport away ...

Bought a new landline phone recently. It came with a printed copy of
the GPL think it's the first time I've seen it on paper.

Just out of interest did they supply the source code or tell you how to get
it?

You dial an answer-phone number and have it read out to you at dictation
speed?
