Btw. You guys did great job with BT4, finally as you can see almost every piece of hardware is working properly. Even suspend and hibernate is working as it should. I'll try find solution for the rest Fn keys and build-in mic. Again, Many thanks BT4 team.

Small quide to fix audio and brightness Fn keys. Actualy I was not able to remap [Fn]+F5,[Fn]+UP and [Fn]+Down for Brightess so instead I'm using combination of Ctrl+F5,Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down.

Follow these Steps:

1, Install additional aplications:

apt-get install xbindkeys xbacklight

2,Create config file for xbindkeys:

xbindkeys --defaults > /etc/.xbindkeysrc

3, Modify .xbindkeysrc

nano /etc/.xbindkeysrc

	#BrightnessUp
	"xbacklight -inc 10"
    	m:0x4 + c:111
    	Control + Up 

	#BrighthessDown
	"xbacklight -dec 10"
    	m:0x4 + c:116
   	Control + Down 

	#VolumeUP
	"amixer -c 0 sset Master 1dB+"
    	m:0x0 + c:123
    	XF86AudioRaiseVolume 

	#VolumeDown
	"amixer -c 0 sset Master 1dB-"
    	m:0x0 + c:122
   	XF86AudioLowerVolume 

	#VolumeOff
	"audiofn.rb"
   	m:0x0 + c:121
   	XF86AudioMute 

	#BrightessOff
	"screenfn.rb"
   	m:0x4 + c:71
    	Control + F5

4, Create two small ruby scripts for controling audio dB level and brightness

nano /usr/bin/audiofn.rb

	#! /usr/bin/ruby

	dB_LEVEL = `amixer -c 0 | grep -m1 "Mono:" | cut -d"[" -f2 | cut -d"%" -f1`

	if(dB_LEVEL.to_i > 0):`amixer -c 0 sset Master 0%`
	else `amixer -c 0 sset Master 85%` end

	nano /usr/bin/screenfn.rb

	
	#! /usr/bin/ruby

	backligh_stat = `xbacklight -get`

	if (backligh_stat.to_i > 0):`xbacklight -set 0%`
	else `xbacklight -set 90%` end

	chmod 755 /usr/bin/audiofn.rb
	chmod 755 /usr/bin/screenfn.rb

5, Start xbinkeys on startup

nano $HOME/.kde3/Autostart/start.sh

	#! /bin/sh

	#Start Programs on kde start

	if ["$(pidof xbindkeys)" = ""];then
        		xbindkeys -f /etc/.xbindkeysrc
	fi

NOTE: If anyone know how to get [Fn]+F5,[Fn]+UP and [Fn]+Down keys working let me know

Hey Shadow,
I have the NC10 as well, all trials with bt4pre on usb were fine.
However, installed to hd and no sound...no card detected...any ideas?

[Shadow_x51]

Hi Amenemhet,
Not sure why it's happening but if you log in as non-root user alsa drivers will "stop working". To fix this problem you have to log in as root.

Usually, working as root is Dangerous!! but BT4 is not common linux distro and almost 70% percent of tools require root privileges. So I prefer instead of sudo all the programs just use root priv.

Which samsung nc10 did you pick up, and did you have to replace the wireless card? I didn't believe that intel chips supported monitor mode and injections. If they do, sweet! I'm looking for a netbook and this is shaping up to be better and better...

-wtf the other post that wouldnt go thru went through-

Hi Imperative,
All the Samsung NC10's coming with the Atheros Chipset. So no need to replace Wireless card.
I bought version with 2 GB RAM, 160 GB HDD, Intel Atom N270 1.6Ghz. Also the reason I choose Samsung is the battery life.

Shadow, if it's possible it'd be great if you could run some basic cracks, like aircrack ng and 0phcrack against some longer passwords and give us some times! I'm in the market for a netbook and if this can pull off some decent times it seems to be the best choice.

Thanks!

hxxp://nc10ubuntu.wordpress.com/ has some info on the NC10 that may help with the fn keys.

Did you get the display working in 1024X600? If so, how?

Thanks in advance for any help here.

I am running BT4PF off a Samsung N110 (NC10 successor) and all runs great.

I haven't yet bothered with using the FN keys as running of non-persistant USB.


Downside to the laptop, it cannot boot from SD card, and also the SD card does not fit in flush with the laptop body but sticks out around 2-3 mm.

Otherwise wireless card works great and performance is really OK.
I upgraded to 2gig memory which I think best thing to do.

When running through some cowpatty tables, it was doing around 45500 passphrases per second which is fairly decent.

Hey, I am running BT4 on a N110 too! We should trade notes.

I was unable to de-auth a WPA client using the internal wireless. However, when I reconnected with a client manually, it captured the handshake. I plugged in the Alfa and it worked fine. De-auth'ing worked with the exact same command (aireplay-ng -0 1 -a [bssid] -c [client MAC] mon0) and it captured the handshake.

Are you able to de-auth WPA clients with the internal wireless?
