Android: Connect to an enterprise LAN via LEAP/802.1X

Android Send feedback »

If you work in an environment where Wifi connectivity is through LEAP/PEAP/802.1X and you have a rooted Android phone, you can use the following mechanism:

Modify the file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and add your Wifi APN as follows:

network={
ssid="your_ssid"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED LEAP
eap=LEAP
identity="your_username"
password="your_password"
}

This will connect perfectly on my HTC Dream and should work on any other Android platform as well. Only thing missing now is the proxy support (Google - how can you miss this????)


Synology - automatic indexing via synoindex

Synology 3 feedbacks »

To my knowledge, no DiskStation model currently exists where the kernel supports inotify. This represents a huge problem for people who have custom scripts to add multimedia to your DiskStations. While the DiskStations media indexer supports automatic indexing of files being added via SMB, AFP or FTP, it is not aware if you move or copy files via SSH/Telnet on the DiskStation directly.

I have therefore written the Synology Media Indexer which is a simple perl-script which scans your video directory and adds new video-files to the indexer. The indexing is lighting fast as only new files get added (compared to the full reindex of all media if you use the "Reindex"-function in the admin interface).

The script will scan the video directory for modified files over the last two days and will then query the synoindex-service if the file was already indexed. If the file does not exist in the index database, the script will manually add it for immediate indexing.

I have included my most common media types in the script, but if I missed something, you are welcome to extend the script (and let me know what types I have missed). The script itself is easy to read, and I suggest you go through the code as there might be minor tweaks you want to make.


DDR2 RAM expansion for Synology DS1010+

Synology Send feedback »

The Synology comes factory default with 1GB RAM and has a spare 200-pin slot available for expansion. There has been sofar no confirmation what DIMMs work, but I can assure you that if you purchase a 2GB 200-pin 800Mhz DDR2 laptop DIMM it will work.

I bought a relatively cheap Kingston 2GB PC2-6400 CL5 200-pin 800Mhz DDR2 DIMM (KVR800D2S5/2G). I am pretty certain that any other DDR2 DIMM @ 800Mhz will work although you should make sure that it is CL5 and 5-5-5.
