[YLUG] More on the upcoming things

Hi,

Is it possible to have topics such as:
** Installation of UML / kgdb
or
** Using wireless in university

I encounter some minor problems during installation of UML. Though it looks 
like UML has been set up successfully, the network connection from guest OS 
(UML) to host (my laptop) failed.

Below is my UML setting:
[UML ifconfig]
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr AC:CE:00:DC:BE:53
          inet addr:192.168.0.100  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:108 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:4536 (4.4 KiB)
          Interrupt:5 [UML route] Kernel IP routing table Destination 
Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 
0 0 eth0 default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

[host eth0:1]
eth0:1    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr BE:CA:CC:DC:BE:52
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          Interrupt:169

I can ping to the localhost(127.0.0.1) as well as the IP of the guest OS, 
but I can not ping to the host(ping -c 2 192.168.0.1).

In addition, I do not know how to config in order to use the wireless 
network in York university. Though I can use wireless successfully when 
staying in my hometown, I guess it is because the encryption method here is 
different from my laptop. Yet it is pity I lose all configuration files 
because last time I crashed my laptop when doing some stupid actions.

Thank you.

Environment I have is Debian Sarge testing. Kernel 2.6.16 (build manually). 
GCC 4.1.2.
