Experimenting LEOXSYS-nano wifi adapter:
Recently bought this tiny wifi adapter from flipkart.
Making this wifi-adapter able to work is wont be problem under windows. But in LINUX it need some
patience. Linux Kernel doesn't have the supportive drivers to make it workable on linux. Thank god they gave one small disc which contains the drivers for this wifi-adapter.
Inside the disk there are various folders and finally found one Linux folder in it. Make sure you
copy that into your home directory not to any others. (We are going to make it and install it. It needs a folder permission to execute some utility programs) then make it and install it, and it works
just fine in my LinuxMint 14. Soon to register for a wifi connection in my campus :-)
Making Balance enquiry of the usb modem from Terminal
This one is my favourite trick to know the balance amount of my 3g dongle.
All you need is one tiny little program called gammu.
Launch your terminal and pass
$ sudo apt-get install gammu
to install gammu. Then we have to configure the gammu by
$ sudo gammu-config
after the successful configuration of gammu we have to pass the ussd code by sending
$ gammu getussd *123*11#
here *123*11# is the ussd code to check the 3g balance of airtel network.
Very simple way to create a bootable usb disk
This one is a pretty awesome trick. We don't need to search for the unetbootin, startupdisk creator and
other utilities.
There is a built in utility called 'dd' is here to the rescue.
make sure you unmount your usb drive by
$ sudo umount /dev/sdb1
after that we are going to write the iso file to the usb device
$ sudo dd if=/home/mani/Downloads/ubuntu-13.10-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdb
1832960+0 records in
1832960+0 records out
938475520 bytes (938 MB) copied, 338.764 s, 2.8 MB/s
note: in dd command if=*location of the iso file* of=*location of the usb device*
that's it your live usb drive is hot to be served.
