Hey Guys, I’m actually a Network Engineer working for a Telco, so happy to provide a talk that is networking based. Main thing i’d really need to understand is how complex or even how basic of a talk i’d need to build and i can then build something around the level required. Cheers, Fraser

Hi Mark,
Thanks. There is a lot below there!! Tempting topic for a very useful talk + slides for a LUV Beginners or LUV Main meeting!
Making a note + forwarding to LUV Committee!
Any LUV Member willing to offer a talk on this topic?
Cheers Daniel.

Hello Daniel and Ben,
Some of this relates to what I have been trying to do in setting up a home network, and a network Printer. It also relates to my Internet connection, I too am on Telstra Big Pond dial-up, and looking to where to jump when Telstra drop dial-up when NBNCo take over the copper network. Where I live, there will be no wired option (maybe dial-up with another ISP), but fixed wireless broadband. An added complication is that while the mobile phone tower is close, my mobile phone signal can vanish, I think wet foliage of trees, mine and a neighbours. I was looking forward to the fiber to the premises, til the change of government.
I have been reading and learning about networking and configuration. Since I am setting it up on a laptop/notebook, I have considered how to work in with NetManager, but also how to manually configure. There are other packages available in Debian for managing multiple locations for network connection, and I will need to look over. I would also appreciate comments on the various merits, when I can ask of the packages, when I can reread and get their names. The other matter is that if I am to purge NetManager, I would appreciate some advice on exactly which packages from some of our more senior Debian involved LUV members to get rid of it, but not damage other capabilities.
I do know about "ifconfig" and a lot else, even if not familiar with the detail, but did not know of the "route" command until I found reference by accident. I would not be alone in appreciating a good primer to setting up a small home network, with an Internet gateway at some point, and I have yet to find on the Internet if it already exists.
It would also be good to know if it is possible to use the USB devices, and particularly if it is possible to activate them from Linux without needing to do the activation first from a Windows or Mac. I do know of modeswitch and the like, and that they can be used once activated, but that can depend on the chipset of the week. It would be possible to test an activated one in a Telstra shop, and then purchase and have activated when shown to work, but I would much prefer to have the capacity on my Linux system.
I am also very interested in what might be available in the way of fixed wireless broadband modems, but that I can use with an ethernet cable and no wi-fi from the modem, the wi-fi access point being another Linux PC, obviously more under my control, and better security.
