Free usb loader software for linux

USB Launcher project is a couple of basic programs to drive the M&S USB Missile Launcher.
ctlmissile does all the actual work. Youll need libusb installed to compile it, but assuming you have that typing "make" should do the trick. You can then
do:
ctlmissile up
ctlmissile down
ctlmissile left
ctlmissile right
ctlmissile fire
ctlmissile stop
to do all the things youd expect. Note youll need to be root to use it. I
havent figured out a nice way to use libusb yet as a user. Anyone got some pointers?
Oh, and youll need to not have usbhid installed or itll claim the device itself (I think I can add support so that it gets automatically disconnected from the device, so Ill have a look at that).
usblauncher is a Perl program that uses GTK2 to provide a basic interface for controlling the launcher. It uses ctlmissile. Currently Ive made ctlmissile suid root so I can run usblauncher as my normal user id, but Im not sure about this long term.
Enhancements:
- Added support for Dream Cheeky USB missile launcher from James Puderer.

APLoader stands for Another Postgres Loader, is a front-end to the Postgresql COPY command written in Ruby.

Features include:

fault tolerance
a progress meter
failed batch logs
minimal requirements
a programmable API
excellent performance.

The APLoaderproject is a PostgreSQL Community project that is a part of the pgFoundry.

Resource::Loader is a Perl module to load different resources depending.

SYNOPSIS

use Resource::Loader;

$loader = Resource::Loader->new(
testing => 0,
verbose => 0,
cont => 0,
resources =>
[
{ name => never,
when => sub { 0 },
what => sub { die "this will never be loaded" },
},
{ name => sometimes 50%,
when => sub { int rand 2 > 0 },
what => sub { "sometimes was loaded. args: [@_]" },
whatargs => [ qw/foo bar baz/ ],
},
{ name => sometimes 66%,
when => sub { int rand @_ },
whenargs => [ 0, 1, 2 ],
what => sub { "sometimes was loaded. args: [@_]" },
whatargs => [ qw/foo bar baz/ ],
},
{ name => always,
when => sub { 1 },
what => sub { "always was loaded" },
},
],
);

$loaded = $loader->load;
$status = $loader->status;

Resource::Loader is simple at its core: You give it a list of resources. Each resource knows when it should be triggered and if its triggered, will run its code segment.

Both the when and the what are coderefs, so you can be as devious as you want in determining when a resource will be loaded and what, exactly, it does.

I originally wrote this to solve a simple problem but realized that the class is probably applicable to a whole slew of problems. I look forward to hearing to what devious ends you push this module. Really, send me an email - I love hearing about people using my toys.

Driver for USB Wireless LAN adapter based on the Atmel AT76C503/505A chipsets. Well matched to popular Micronet SP907BB adapters. It has less problems and better results than known atmelwlan driver from sourceforge.net.
Currently, the driver has some limitations:
no promiscous, monitor or station mode and no support for libpcap, i.e. it does not work with Kismet or Airsnort and it cannot act as an WLAN access point. This is a restriction imposed by the currently firmware
The firmware for Intersil radios is old (Atmel doesnt update it anymore) and has more restrictions. See the chipsets page for more information.
Support for 2.6.x kernels is now in main tree (versions 0.13+).
It has been tested with the usb host controller drivers usb-uhci, uhci and usb-ohci. It also works with more than one adapter on one
Enhancements:
- added switch to cope with Intersil firmware 0.84.0 which does not send FCS in rx data
- new module at76c503-rfmd-acc.o for SMC2664W, which got RMFD radio, but need a special firmware (Accton OEM products).
- added regulatory domains MKK1 and Israel
- added rudimentary ethtool support for SuSEs future hotplug
- added nickname ioctl for iwconfig
- added test of valid channel in reg. domain
- added big endian patch (by Kevin Cernekee), changed defines in ieee802_11.h
- supress unsupported iwconfig modes (monitor, master) - patch by Pavel Roskin

vp-usb-lock is a Linux kernel driver and PAM module that utilizes the PC wireless USB lock and makes it possible to use it as authentication method for your Linux box.
It is easy to install, but needs access to the sources of the kernel and PAM to build correctly. It has been tested under Fedora Core 2 with a custom made 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 kernel, but it should also work with other kernel versions and distributions.
Enhancements:
- A lock daemon was added.
- A compilation error that was introduced lately by some changes to the Linux kernel was fixed.
- Support for kernel 2.4.x versions was added.

PHPCoder is a web based front-end to the Turck MMCache encoding functions, which are similar to the Zend Encoder product.

Turck MMCache is a free open source PHP accelerator, optimizer, encoder and dynamic content cache for PHP. It increases performance of PHP scripts by caching them in compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated.

Also it uses some optimizations to speed up execution of PHP scripts. Turck MMCache typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times.

PHPCoder enables you to encode your PHP scripts and applications into non reversible byte-code, thus preventing users of your programs from viewing or alterting the source code while having full functionality.

Another excellent use for PHPCoder is to encode your applications PHP configuration files, that way someone viewing your source code does not see your databae login and password information.

In addition to encoding PHP scripts PHPCoder allows you to set restrictions on the encoded scripts, you can lock a script to a particular server IP address, server host name, visitor IP, or even place a time limit on the script so it will expire after x amount of time.

PHP Coder also allows you to specify Text, HTML or PHP code that should be prepended and appended to each file before it is encoded, allowing you to easily and securely implement your own licensing scheme.

To use your encoded scripts your clients simply install the free Turck MMCache or the Turck Loader.

Catux-USB is a distribution created by CaTuX, an association of GNU/Linuxs users from the central area of Catalonia.

This distribution is not just one more, but it has a distinguishing feature: it can be executed from any Pendrive (or any USB storage device, even the low capacity ones.

Once it has been executed and the hardware detected, you will have a totally normal distribution, based on Debian through Knoppix and ready to do all the apt-get you want.

usb-mount project provides desktop integration for systems using the hotplug scripts and the KDE desktop. It automatically mounts and unmounts USB storage partitions and modifies the users desktop, via the addition of icons representing USB storage device partitions.
The user can interact with the storage device by opening the desktop icons to reveal the folders corresponding to each partition. Each partitions mount status can be altered by using icon control options.
These scripts work for me on Fedora Core 2 and Redhat 9. Several people have reported that they can be made to function on many other Linux distributions with minor configuration changes and some editing.
To get them to work on your system you may need knowledge of Linux and shell scripting. If the scripts dont work out of the box, you should look for errors in /var/log/messages (or where ever your system log is kept). If you are not comfortable with reading logs and editing scripts - perhaps these scripts arent for you.
I no longer have any Linux systems with 2.4 kernels, I think the scripts will still work. All recent modifications have only been tested on Fedora Core 4 running kernel 2.6.
Many distributions are now adequately handling usb - so I havent spent much time improving usb-mount. If anyone wants to fork a new version, feel free. The new kernel, dbus, etc should make it quite easy to create a simpler script from scratch.
Enhancements:
- More fixes for newer kernels/distibutions that take longer to setup usb devices;
- Handle flash card readers that have more than one device (thanks to Edward);
- Ignore non usb-storage devices (thanks to Wolfgang Klein).
